cut out the cat

air induction kit maybe green cotton

big bore

take out back seats less waight then your be surprised how much faster but then again it is abit more noisy

nos lol lol

maybe nitrox its a additive

lower it by id say 40 mm

not a huge detail but thats the basics really

maybe use higher octane petrol (super unleaded)

I wouldn't waste my money trying to make a 3 cylinder 1.0l engine faster. I'd just buy a new engine, it'd be much much cheaper, and better power upgrades in the long run.
