So ive got a corsa b 1.2sxi 16v
I've never drove it because its got a starting problem but thats not what this post is about

Ive heard the top speed On the car stock is about 100-105mph
Is that true?

And Ive got a Air filter and Exhaust system on mine
but i dont know the brands so im looking to change for The best speed increasing brands

What are some legal mods i can do?
+15bhp Chip maybe
Air filter
exhaust
Turbo (pricey)
Weight shed

Thanks
-Josh

there made for rich snobs and countrys without speedlimits.

if you want better acceleration get a decent inlet and exhaust set up

but not much you can do with a 1.2 tbh

I've got a 1.2 16v Club, I've been over 105...done about 115 but the car shakes dramatically, I would honestly say its not something you'd wanna be doing in a Corsa.
