If ure wondering i definately dont own it haha!
but was just wondering what performance mods u can do for extra speed, acceleration being the main thing...please dont say put a larger block in it.
Wud be interesting to see if mainy people have got good results from the 1.4's, i know they are successfull in rallys.
warren g has gone on a bit of a crazy one tuning his 1.4 up and his started me off i think...hahaha
