My wife has a 2002 Corsa 1.0 Club. What's the best way to get more BHP out of it.

I was thinking of an Induction Kit, but is it worth it? Any suggestions?

It's got 17" alloys and currently I'm having a Front Skirt, Side Sills and roof spoiler sprayed, so I'll post piccies when all done.

Any advice on the BHP would be much appreciated.

There's no point in you racing me then. I've exceeded 140mph with 160mph on the clock.

I'll race you with my 1.4 nova, it's not that fast

If you seriously want more power and haven't or can't think about changing to a bigger engine, then you coul duse nitrous, as you can just take it off when you want to sell the car.
Or a turbo, there's a bit of info kicking about with 1L turboing as in hillclimbing a forced indcutin engine is effectively made 40% larger, so a 1L becomes a 1400cc in competition. But a little more difficult to remove and costs a ton.

I'm not asking for a race (i'm not a chav). I was responding to a previous comment.

My wife's not after a massive increase in power, just a little bit more. Maybe power equivilent to 1.2 or 1.4 maybe. It's just, as you know, the 1.0 is a little underpowered.

Picture says it all really.

If you want the car to go like a 1.2 or a 1.4 then the cheapest option is really to sell it and buy one with that engine size in it. It's just plain expensive to try and make the 1L as powerful. And ading weight to the car won't help things unfortuantely.
