30bhp on a 1.2!

You will be looking at silly money!

To be honest, your not going to get any gains, like 10bhp without spending lumps of cash.

A cat back exaust and air filter might get you an extra 5bhp for about Â£400

Best advice: Save and get a larger engine

Is it not the 3 cylinder engine aswell?

I would also save my cash for a while to get a faster car. I also had a 1.2 for three lonnnnnng years before i got my gti, was too young (insurance) and too dear to afford one!

Worth the wait tho!!!!

Spend some money styling it tho???

i have spent money styling it and im getin a cat back exhaust and remap which shud give it an extra 15hp hopefully, which is better than nuthin until i can afford a new car

its costing Â£270 which is quite cheap for the average remap, but then again it wil only give me around 8hp where as other cars will pay around Â£450 and gain about 50hp so i guess it is quite expensive, but i dont want to get rid of my car, i have spent loads on it and to be honest, i cnt reli afford a new car at the moment

Personally I would keep ur money mate and look into buying somethin else. 8bhp for 270 is a lot of money!
