Don't do anything to this car. Sell it and buy a new one when you have some NCB. I don't know what peoples obsesion with engine swaps is here... Remove your induction kit too, don't rag it either. It's only got a 3 cyl engine and they aren't that strong...

if u were coming back from swimming lessons you would have only managed 100 due to your skin poars soaking in water therefore your body weighing more and more weight in the car means it was going slower

i agree with ed, no point in touching the engine, dont rag it, keep it in good shape and sell it later on and get something like 1.6

INDICATED top speed
i was driving down the M1 the other day, and everyone was doing 64mph, i, however, was doing a GPS confirmed 70mph.... far more accurate
