   Hello everyone, 1st day on the website, Loving all the great guides ect, As you can see its my first post. Ive just bought myself a Citroen Saxo - Forte.
   Brand new project, Forte - 1.1 - V Reg. Stock car, Fitted the CD Player, Alloys, Sound System + Backlights myself.
   Just looking to have some feedback of some Engine/Performance mods for it, Heres a few pictures as it is. Also, not got a budget atm.
   Thanks all who have feedback

   no point in performance tuning a 1.1. drop a bigger engine in first

   as said, replace the rear lights with either standard or smoked jewels.
   performance wise...pointless, its a 1.1, drop a 16v lump in there

   Apologies for echoing previous posters but I'd have to agree. Wheels and lights are awful mate.
   
   If you want a bit more noise from the car you could fit an open cone filter and a back box for some noise. But nothing you do will help performance. These cars are economical run arounds and not designed for speed.

   Give the car a full service - get the mighty 1.1 running the best that it can before adding bolt on bits!!!

   As stated, if you want more performance a VTS engine in the front makes sense,
   
   But If you want to modify the 1.1 for insurance or otherwise - an air filter and exhaust system is where to start mate.
   
   Have a read through this thread to give you a bit of an idea (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=355702)

    i have owned my 1.1 for a few years and thought of different ways to get more power but there is just nothing. i am doing the 16v conversion this weekend other than that lower it and make it look nice
