mate, you could try fitting an air induction kit and maybe a new exhaust, but theres not much you can really do with the 1.0
these mods will probably only make about an extra 10 bhp more - thats what i think anyway, i could be wrong.

was thinking of an iduction kit but was told a new k&n panel filter would be better ive a new back box coming monday

can the airbox be drilled aswell as the new panel filters?????

not sure that the air box can be drilled but bare in mind if you get a panel filter as you actually need 2 and sales peeps don't no it yet! so ur looking at Â£50+ each!

might be worth going for an induction kit as it will be cheaper, however u will have to loose the top cover!

depends wot ur afta really!

p.s welcome to the forum! nice to c another 1.0ltr

Hey mate welcome to the forum too!!!

Would say go for the induction kit you will get a slight gain in power but the noise it produces will be well worth it!!!! Otherwise standard stuff like a cat bak exhaust, then from then it really depends how much money you want to put in your pride and joy.

Personally if you got a 1.0 litre ill go for the induction kit and back box then concentrate on the body and interior like removing the black rubber strips gettin a splitter on the car and colour coding everything!!!
also the alloys

hope that helps mate

a late question in here, which induction kit is best for the 1.0E as i'm considering buying one.

polopowah · Post by **polopowah** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 1:49 pm

the k&n cone filter is one of the best (and cheapest at around 60 quid)
though i cant really say, because i've only ever heard the k&n and Bmc and im not sure if the bmc fits the 1.0 (plus its quite expensive)
