nope nope and nope again the 1.2i is slow... how did u fit full ss? as they don't make one??
u can't chip the 1.2i
you are better off with a webber 32/34 and a set of 1.2carb pistons, i'll leave the explaining to other peeps on here.... :D

easy, the majority of 1.3sr's have been thrapped to f@ck and are in need of a serious recondition, whereas 1.2i tends to be nice and unused. my mates 1.3sr has a permanaent smoke screen around it where the oil is leaking from the block. lol mind you it has done the clock more times then god but the body is in good nick. for somethings thats 90% filler. lol

the 1.3sr is 70bhp
the 1.2i is 45bhp
the 1.2i will proably have a 4 speeder fitted
and will be low geared and will be quick off the mark in 1st and 2nd

yeah, but after declaring/buying your mods...there's no point cos the gain wont be worth the expense of the insurance increase/cost of parts?

Yep...single point....it's more like an electronic carb....same style of air-box as a carbed model too.

yup, its jus 1 big injector that that injects into an inlet manifold, just as a carb would, but the amount is measured and shud b more accurate than a carb (SHOULD).
Still nowhere near as good as having 1 injector per cylinder (or 2 injectors :)

If you want performance and efficiency, get a 1.5 Turbo Diesel. They shift, especially on the motorways when the turbo kicks in @ 3000rpm/80mph in 5th, and the low end torque is brilliant at traffic lights. Plus they go for ever. :o
