   basically...
   
   the car has cda airbox, 4-2-1 mani, straight pipe, vtr inlet, camed (cat cam, cant remeber profile) needs a map
   basically what else could i do....
   
   head work? much gains?
   standalone ecu any good on a car that is only camed?
   
   lightened fly wheel is on the list
   what about the crank-altinator pulleys... worth the money?
   
   
   thanks for you help

   A Car is ready from the factory to go on the track!
   
   You could get standalone and bodies, only wasted money there is the inlet manifold and the mapping, the rest can be swapped onto a bigger better engine then mapped up again.

    the 1.1 is about the same as vts, 1.4xsi box would be ideal. Anything less than that isnt worth it on an 8valve with its short rev range unless you map it with higher rpm. IMO.

    xsi box and lighter fly should go together nicely
    
    would love to run trumpets on it but think it would be such a waste

    Well like i said, only waste would be the manifold and the map.
    
    i think foggy runs itbs on his 1.4 rally car on here, have a search.
    
    Also get a VTR/VTS flywheel, will also need the vtr/vts 200mm clutch.
    
    Cant rmemebr the reason these are better or if its not just chinese whispers, have alook into that aswell on rallye reg or somthing.

    No matter what you do to your engine your car wont be "fast" on track compared to the other cars out there, so i wouldn't worry about the 5 or 10 extra hp you mite be able to get.

    isnt the idea to track your car for you to enjoy and not worry about faster cars

    Driver skill is the biggest factor, followed by tyres and suspension.
