First of all, you will have gained about 1bhp, if your lucky. Mismatched bits wont affect it, lets face it, you have fuck all power to begin with so short of changing the engine or getting out and pushing it, you aint gonna go much faster

fair enough, if your happy thats all that matters. However the whole 'loads more bhp' is in your head im afraid. It probably sounds quicker but in reality it wont have done a thing. You will find it hard to get any power out of something that has less power than an ann summers vibrator as standard. If you are after a modified car, id avoid wasting your money on engine modifications and save it for a better car when your insurance comes down, or spend it on things that will improve the looks of your car. We have all been there when we were young, so take our advice before you waste shit loads of money
Get some pics up too
