need more speed

[Rich_M]

next logical step for 1.2 16v. want more speed, added induction kit, gotta be an exhaust then ?

 

[paddymph]

dount youll get more top end whoomph.

end of the day theres no substitute for CC..... unless u wanna bolt on a turbo?!

 

[Rich_M]

yeah i suppose, unfortunately. 20 with 3 yrs no claims, thats it, but have my own place so have to watch the pennies!

oh, it isnt exactly a standard 1.2 tho, ask jon 1978 !

IIRC you have 17s on ??? remove them and swap them for the standard 15s, instant accelleration gains

remove induction kit, and refit OE airbox or fit pipercross viper IK or similar)

exhaust is a must, the OE one seemed to be very restrictive on mine

remove the ICE, again, weight generally slows a vehicle down

Get youself a baseball cap, and some fluffy dice, and that should add about 20bhp.

"aint no replacement for displacement!"

what bambam said is very true. my exhaust is restrictive, need a whole system. i had my interior completely out of my 1.2 a few weeks back, and its suprising how much lighter the car felt.

genius, remove the seats !

I fail to understand all this stripping. Why buy a car with lots of nice interior etc, then rip it all out to make the car "feel" lighter ?

Would it not be a better idea to buy a Go-Kart?
