No. That is all.










Sorry fella, but any money speny on 'tuning' your engine, apart from regular servicing, is money wasted. Theres next to nowt to be had from smaller capacity motors without serious ( thousands of pounds) investment.

ok mate ta, iv tried an induction kit but that didnt do much. and cba with spendin all that. looks like il be buyin a new car den!

Dont be so put off mate, even the enthusiasts who cant afford the 2ltrs have some options open to them.

I used to have a 1.4 16v and spent alot on it, admittably alot didnt do anything. However from my experience some small gains can be made from a remap, decat and new performance exhaust manifold.

Although the best thing you can do is strip as much weight out of it possible and concentrate on handling mods to improve your performance.

on a small engine, dont bother. however, spend the money on brake and suspension upgrades, you will see a difference with that

yea i was thinkin about lowering and stuff but i dont wana compromise insurance! coz it costs a bomb already..

Not worth it, save the money and you'll soon have enough to buy a quicker car.

You can spend thousands and not get much in return, or spend a lot less on brakes and suspension and transform the car.

If you cannot afford to insure the mods, especially those that give power, you are playing a dangerous game.
