yours is a 1.0 12v. Totally slow and 55bhp. Not good. Mine is 1.6 16v with 108bhp. 0-60in 8.7 seconds. Pulls like a train. I have a modded airbox. I cant mod it since im selling it to emmigrate to australia

dbillas (i think)? bought out an inlet manifold for this engine i heard it was meant to up the bhp and torque to that of a 1.2 16v (75bhp and 80ish nm torque).

maybe its worth going a search for this?? but to be honest ur best selling the car and buying one with a bigger more tuneable engine.

BTBH its not worth the money in tuning your car 1.0 to the performance of a 1.2 16v when its better that u spend the money on insurance for a more powerful car.

timing by a watch (even a rolex) is really inaccurate.

Due to the following.

:- Reaction time of person holding the watch
:- Inacuracy of the speedo
:- The needle on the speedo takes a few .'s of a second
to catch up with the true speed the cars going

Thats why people take there cars to an official site with official (and accurate timing gear)
