   honestly,save your money and spend it on the vts engine, a 1.1 will never ever be even moderately nippy.

   I agree with Sean, spend the money on the vts engine. To make much of a difference to a 1.1 you'd need to to some serious mods e.g. turbo

   You could maybe get a small gain out of uprated cams, remap but yourll be spending nearly as much money as just buying a vts lump.

   No point spending money on engine mods on a 1.1, wont get much of a gain. Drop a vtr/ vts in it.

   your best bet is to remove unnecessary weight mate
   
   the car will perform a lot better by removing the weight than adding any little engine mod.
   
   plus its free

    Theres a nice turbo kit on ebay at the moment if you have a spare 2k and a vts engine to bolt it to.

    i must admit m8,people are going to automatically think a 1.1 could not be even close to nippy!! well it aint a saxo but there is a 1.2 nova on novaload.net with twin 40s and it was proved and watched beating a 1.4 corsa sri,so i would imagine the same possibilitys are available for your saxo,you never know they could be tuneable,id love to see a 100bhp 1.1,due to having a smaller block it wud leave a standard vtr! entirely up to yourself what you do but in my experience id save for a 1.4/1.6
