What do you guys would do to this? considering it´s quite possibly the only one in the country?
Wow! Great price!
What to do? Keep the outside bonestock, and do whatever the hell you want with the engine! Most parts from an EDM NX or N14 are interchangable, the same goes for most performance parts (strutbars, anti-roll bars etc).
I'd find some nice Almera GTI rims (or known as the B14 SE-R rims in the US), put a front and rear strutbar, and rear anti-roll bar (Whiteline or Progress!) in it, some nice springs (not too stiff as it would be overkill with the bars) and struts and call it a day.
Oh, and install NX/N14 GTI brakes.
If you want more power, either swap in a VE or upgrade the DE (either by swapping in an EDM one and work from there, or modify the current block). I'd keep it N/A so I wouldn't have to worry about things breaking as much.
