Too true!!!

IMHO, you are not going to get the 1.0 any faster. It may make it sound like a Dodge Viper V10, but it wont go like one, or be as fast as a moped. An engine conversion is the only way, or a new car. TBH, if you cant afford that route because of your insurance/age/convictions, wait until your NCB builds up before concentrating on the engine. IMHO, start with ICE and subtle styling mods. :)

He said no smarmy comments mate :lol: But yea good point ;)
To behonest, if a 1.2 (etc) filter fitted then go for it....at the end of the day all it is, is a filter nothing more nothing less.
Although id be interested what the difference is between a filter for a 1.4 and 1.2 etc

Sorry, I thought they did one for the 1.0 but I've just checked the catalogue and it's only for the 1.2. Give them a call on 01604 797960 and ask them which filters they do for the 1.0.:)

If you have the cash go for a Viper induction, there suppose to be the mutz and offer big gains, although it will set you back about 250 quid. Although K&N's are good and PVD do 70 quid jobbies. Have a look on www.pvdnet.co.uk :)
As for exhausts, stay away from powerflow....people have had porblems with them and they are deisnged for sound and looks rather than giving you any grunt :) Although i havnt got a clue who you should go to (yet to get that far with mine), do a search on the forums and see what you come up with :)
