erm do you know where the airbox is on those
if the engine is a zetec se 1.25
then the airbox is infont-on top of the bottom right of engine-bay
drilling it would fuck it up sooooooooooo much

probably a 1.3 8v =[
Still ok for your first car, better than a 1.2 8v or 1.0 12v corsa 
but those 1.25 16v's are bloody nippy
1.3 8v has 60 bhp, does 0-60 in around 14.5 seconds.
1.25 16v has 75 bhp, does 0-60 in around 11.5 seconds
my 1.2 16v Sxi has 75 bhp, does 0-60 in around 11.8 seconds
a 1.2 8v has 45 bhp!!! and does 0-60 in around 21 seconds!
So when you consider a lot of people get 1.2 8v's for their first car - its not bad

If it's a 1.3 stay well away, they are slow as shit. My girlfriend had one and they are awful, she now has a 1.25 Zetec, defo get a 1.25 if you can they are a lot nippier.
