Not much you can do that will be worth it unfortunatly. Get a 1.6 dropped into her. I know its not what you want to hear but im in the same boat mate

No point be cheaper buying a 1.6 instead of converting

A proper sports intake system including manifold, port and polished head, new cam, custom 4-2-1 or 4-1 manifold with either a sport cat under the car or just decat, bigger exhaust bore maybe inch and a half, uprated fuel system with controller and a remap

Should only set you back 10k :lol:

The 1.2 is not designed to be fast but they can reach 110-140 brake with them mods

But then they are nearly always on english plates so by the time i get it all sorted it would cost a fortune i reckon?

Hypnotically you could buy one the same colour and swap the plates

I've obviously never done this because it's illegal and is tax evasion, but it works ;)

I might have a navy 1.4 sport for sale, it came in on a trailer and I was told it's a non runner, I haven't looked at it yet but I'll punt it for a tiny profit if i dont have to work on it

She just feels a bit sluggish at start and once I get to about 60

My 1.2 will top out at 95mph, would possibly go more if i had a runway to the moon.
