you have a 1.4 and your being laughed at by 1.2s

I think youve been ripped off and sold a 1.2 with a 1.4 badge on it.

What 1.2 is beating yours? Id just buy a bigger engine.

Failing that just chuck a nova gsi engine in it.

1.6 8V Multi point injection can get them cheap enough and are a doddle to fit, all you need is a multi point injection fuel pump

a 1.2 16V has more power than a 1.4 8V (unless we're talking sri models)

Less weight,bigger brakes and better suspension would be the best way imo.

NOS on a 1.4.

Itd be pointless as the biggest jets you could run would be like 10bhp.
