You're throwing your money down a bottomless pit in the search for something that isn't there i.e. power.
Get some ncb built up and get a fast car whenever the insurance comes down enough. You'll be happier in the long run!

dbilas do a inlet for the 1.2 16v like the mantzel etc - but to be honest I wouldn't waste the cash... just buy a 106 gti.

lexmaul make a manifold, de ristrict the airbox, piper full SS system, re-map and cams would be about as fast as a 1.4 sport engine at about 3 times the cost

no point tuning a 1.2 get a gsi or a 1.4 sport that way you can do alot more and its worth it, or go deeper and get a xe or let.. onlyway to get better performance from a 1.2 is if they make a turbo for it and that would cost u same as buying a 2ltr so no point really, could always get 1 of them 20quid air filters but usualy they just decrease your performance..
or
do what most do with there 1.2s and 1ltr's spend shit loads on the exterior/interior and leave engine as is for cheaper insurance then get bored 2months down the line cause your in a car every1 wants to race and you get smoked by everyone that wants to race you
ive never gone to a garage to look at a kitted out corsa thats higher than a 1.2 discuisting.
