i had the sri 1.4 8v with zorst and induction kit, i got a Schrick (spelling?) cam (270 degree lift, fast road) for it, and i was pleased with the results. Paid £170 for the cam and £35 to get it fitted. I have also rung Liverpool Victoria insurance who told me they write down any mods, but they dont affect your premium, so if you are a young drive like me (18/19) then it might be worth a try. Im thinking about a chip and exhaust manifold next, but also considering a conversion in a couple of years. Hope that helped! Matt | |

1.6 bottom end will see it a bit extra power, but the compression will shoot up, as it did on mine, but mine was a tad more special then just a 1.6 bottom end. till the pistons melted that is :( | |

Ya can put a mantzel powerbox or velos torque tube on it. That adds around 25% so they say...bout 20 bhp | |
