ive the same prob, i have a 1.0l same as urs mate, an since ive put this s**t cheery bomb on, its died, an also sounds like a subaru, but wen i had K&N on it, the acceleration was betta an at that time i had a hole in my cat an centre box, all replaced now an k&n is out as it was sortve sore on petrol but not as sore as this pipe now!, so im takin off the cherry bomb, an i guarentee it improves, its likely ur exhaust mate, 1.0lites havnt got a great deal of power, i know how it feels tryin 2 over take an then the fuker takes off coz he thinks ur tauntin him! :evil:

Yeah, i only race 1.2 corsa's cos there slow as s**t at 40bhp.

You can easily tell if the car is misfiring, it struggles to stay alive. I dont know if there are other possibilities, but i found the broke spark plug and changed it, that was it.

My car has actually been performing good the last few days. Sometimes it just goes sluggish like, after ive been driving for a bit.
