Don't talk crazy, those type of mods would cause the car to burn up on full accelleration

Someone on a VXR forum who had a 1.2 said he folds his back seats down to even out the wieght, inflates his tyres to 40psi, keeps his glove box etc clear, and the best one only ever puts £10 of fuel at a time, he claimed an 8 sec 0-60!!!!!!!!!!!!! PMSL It was hilarious but the poor fella was being serious, he took a pasting.

Have a look at this thread, give the company a call, they'll be able to make your 1.2 fly.
