What can i do get my car a little bit more power but most of all, a good sound? Already bought myself a powerflow exhaust.

lol mate, ur best bet is to do a search for this as its been answered 100's of times before.

To cut a VERY long story short, u cant tune em. It makes alot more sense (finacially and power wise) just to stick a 1.6 16v in, or even a 2.0 16v.

If u feel u have to, then:

Full zaust with de-cat
Drill air box, use K+N panel filter
Strip out rear
Keep engine well looked after
Dont put large rims on it

but its not worth it. The 1.2 wasnt and isnt a engine designed for speed. To be honest, save ur money, and/or spend it on exterior mods

Matt
