   Just keep it regulary serviced, maybe a better panel filter, a Port and polished Throttle body, thats all thats worth doing in my opinion mate.

    bigger lump... a different engine.
    everyone on here will say, put a VTS lump in it.
    
    
    im happy with my 1.1...tbh its not down to the car, its down to the drive imo.
    get a decent brake set up, decent suspension, decent wheels, tyres... then start to worry about the speed / power.
    
    strip it, makes one hel of a difference, uprated panel filter, could be intersting to stick a 1.0 gear box on it, and maybe a 1.4 head, port and polish it, and the same to the throttle body / inlet.

    Why not? Seems a natural upgrade to me, I did it and although my VTS is a fair bit quicker than my old 1.1, its not what I would call a huge jump

    I have drove my mates 106 1.1 and there is a big power difference compared to my vtr.
    
    So the difference will be even bigger if he goes straight from a 1.1 to a vts.

    38bhp?
    
    I agree that he will have double the power he's got now, but its still not going to be an animal. Dont get me wrong I love my VTS to bits, but its not that fast

    A poorly placed open air filter can decrease performance, Id just bang some nitrous on it

    #36 6th September 2009, 20:41

    its a 1.1......... induction kit = -1bhp or perhaps + 0.5bhp exhaust +1 bhp maybe -bhp all depends on what one you buy
    
    Vibe subs 15kg+
    
    All you are going to achieve is a slower 1.1
    
    If you really want to make it "faster" do as suggested strip interior, replace spare wheel with space saver or just remove all together
    
    Put a new panel filter on as open induction is retarded due to heat soak, hotter air = less oxygen = less powaaaaa
    
    Exhaust isnt going to do much and theres not many made for 1.1's (well specific for power gains)
    
    But the best thing you could do is stick a vtr or s lump in it but if you look at the costs its better to just hold out and get vtr or s when insurance is cheaper and you can afford it

    trying to get more power out of a 1.1 is like trying to find water in a desert. Or as some may call it, pissing against the wind. Nice bump.

    If your just starting out driving i would stick to the 1.1 because if it goes tits up and u crash (which statisticaly most new drivers do) insurance wont pay out cause you wanted power. As people have said weight removal makes a big difference. So if possible you can strip it out.
    If your K&N is open cone you are probs loosing power, standard airbox with pannel filter, a good service, straight through exhaust system and ported polished throttle body are best bet on a 1.1.

    Pttf waste of time
    
    Your not gonna get noticeable power unless you Turbo/Supercharge or Nitrous
    
    Decat, induction kit, exhaust will give so little difference its a waste of money
    Will probably cost you more than the car is worth for the sake of 5bhp!
