Please take advice, i have a 60BHP 1.4. i have no intention of squeezing power out of my car, it runs fine let it run fine is my moto. I have a seperate savings account for mods, these mods will be alloys suspension and body kit. this will serve me fine until i have no claims bonuses and saved up enough for the 1.6/2ltr upgrade. theres is no point in paying £300 for a manifold and £300 for a full zorst system when the power increase would be 6BHP you wont even notice this. £600 can get you a nice kit and witha bit more saving get it fitted!!

Agree!!!
Better to get a full engine conversion, like I will one day when I have some no claims, and some money

I also feel a lot of young drivers only go round town anyway, so what they have it plenty for that, but its all about going round town with a nice kit and a nice set of rims.

I see it this way, eventually i want a big engine conversion but its a matter of saving. as i live in london i cant drive fast, and around town i dont wanna drive fast cos i want people to see my rims and any bodywork that i have done. if your doin 100mph down the highstreet then whos gonna apreciate all the work you have done if they can only see a blur!

And look a lot better than a rusty pee shooter hanging out the back of your kitted up car.
But I don't like bodykits anyway, think most of them are tacky fibreglass crap, so I bought an exhaust instead.
Each to their own opinion?

so spend £100 on a backbox, not £400 on a whole system!

im going down that road with my 1.2, ive got an induction kit for sound when i open the taps, sounds nice . when my exhaust is shagged ill pay for a stainless steel magnex or something, but not until the current one is utterly bollocksed.
and im just gonna leave the bodywork standard but get the bumpers colour coded so my car is totally colour coded.
