orite guys ive got a 1.2 merit with manual choke.

ive got a full exhaust system and a replacement filter.
i got 100 mph today and it had loads still left in it.

original nova clocks are rubbish,

you probably wern't going 100mph, and you probably wont get much more than that with your mods.

BHp gains wise, mods on a 1.2 do hardly any difference in BHP gains unless your modding to a high spec.

yer there's no point modding a 1.2 engine wise, unless you start completly from scratch.

i got a didgidash ages ago and was quite shocked at the actual speed of my car compared to the normal clocks. It's quite a suprise how much slower your actually going

altho, the carb engine with a full system, k&N bolt-on e.t.c does respond quite well really.

gave mine amore torquier feel, but that's about it

lol i doubt a garage would touch it with a barge pole mate.

it's easy if you read about it before you do it, then you kinda know what to do.

just matching colours for colours, you'l need to feed a rev counter wire from the back of the dash to the coil, and swap the g'box transdcer over.

it's not that hard, there is some sites that have guides on..

Aye he lives in Selby. The digi dash on ebay is expensive, cracked and it doesnt meantion whether it comes with a transducer or not. It is useless without it.
