i have a k and n induction kit on mine and a forced cold air feed and i raced another 1.0l but it was a 04, i beat it off the line until about 90mph but the top speed is about 105 on the 04 model so it caught up with me...
Lol 1.0l racing cant beat it

my 1.0 12v has been up to about 99 downhill with just me in it. i reckon the only way you could get these to go any quicker would be to drive one of the edge of a cliff!!! lol!!!......

the 1.0i has more horsepower than the 1.2 8v
the 1.0i had 55bhp the 1.2 8v had 45bhp

my 1.0 12v (200) has done about 96mph with just me in it...
it'll easily cruise around 80-90 as long as theres no uphill... if there is.. then it chucks a hissy fit cuts the power and puts the e.m.l on until i back off the revs...
The new widened stretch of M1 south of Luton has got a wickedly long dip in it..
Might ask my mate if we can pop out there in his Integra Type R and see what it tops out at... it'll do 160 on flat
