hi just wondering what i can do 2 a 1.2 engine 2 make it a little faster if thair is a way cheers
Yeah, take it out and put a 1.6 in :lol:
All depends on budget and how far you want to go really... you'd be wise to spend money on brakes/suspension, and losing weight first to make the car "feel" faster

if you really want to loose all the weight then you only want a drivers seat gear leaver peddals and a dash inside the car

wish i could mate as my g/f wouldent aprove of only 1 seat and plus i use my car for every day use so carry mates around and g/f lol
see the FAQ's at the top of the tech page..... usefull info there!
as for ferrying your mates about, feck em, have two seats and be done with it.
Only tune the 1.2 if your "serious" about it though as its a bit of a waste if you only want to up to power a bit until you get a 1.6/xe etc.
if you wanna loose weight take all the gay stick on stuff off you call a "bodykit". then take up the carpet and remove all the standard sound deadening. plus if the misses has a problem with it she can walk

i ran around for ages with only one seat in my car, im not a fucking ferry. If your mates dont have their own cars its time they started to learn to drive. Cheapest an easist way to make it faster is lose weight also you dont need a dash an heaters as well.
or a washer bottle phill :wink: :lol:
