    next to no improvement. on a 1.1 nothing you will do will make it more powerfull.

    the only way you will see any form of improvement will be through loosing weight

    You could turbo it, may aswell just buy a faster car though.

    I recomend stripping it out. Just one seat and the dash. Nothing else.

    speed - 1.1 = oxymoron

    * oxymoron - conjoining contradictory terms (as in `deafening silence')

    VTR or VTS conversion would be best you could do. then spend the money getting the best out of the bigger engine.

    putting an induction kit on the 1.1i would give a sportier sound but next to no power gain.

    Might even make less power, as the afr will be out!

    This will be adjusted by the ecu from sensor reading buddy.

    As above though, it's go to be less weight in your case, stuff like remove spare wheel, rear seats, big speakers etc.
    Also high speed is not really a good thing ulnless you are on a track to be honest.

    there is no replacement for displacement (unless you boost it).

    just stick it out until you can afford to insure a bigger engine car.. i had a 1.0ltr for a year was slow as fuck but got my ncb out of it now can insure a VTR (:
