I know with the 1.4's you need to the engine cover off as the air intake it a little pipe that sort of hides under the engine cover and the induction kit fits on that somehow I think.

I think the best way to get power out of a 1.2 is to get the gases flowing well. Decent panel filter and decent exhaust.

Trade it in?

 

[Le0nheart]

How fast do you want it to go?

 

[ettlz]

Warp 9, ha ha!

Myself, I'd like little bit more torque from my 1.2. Can sometimes be a bit frustrating trying to get up some of the hills on the A34 with a full set of passengers and having it stop going any faster at 68mph. Maybe I'll just make them lose weight...

I don't think there is anything you can do without spending huge wads of cash that will make any real noticeable difference to a 1.2, there really isn't that much untapped power in the engine. I can't see an air filter making the sort of difference you would be after to be honest. It might be worth trying to shed a bit of weight, lose any crap you have in the boot, if you really want to go for it chuck the rear seats out and get rid of the spare wheel and jack lol

baisicly want fast trade it in.

 

[Crafoo]

Yeah, 1.2 and fast don't really go together, it's not built to be fast, it's built for running back and forth to the shops.

ive got a 1.2 mate. I asked this question when i first joined the site and was told to trade in lol. Decided against that lol.

Ive put a green panel filter in and got a custom backbox put on.
The panel filter didn't really make much difference but sounds a bit better, the backbox added a little speed and better responsiveness.

These are probly the best mods for speed with a 1.2. It would be a better idea to focus on looks rather than speed.

If you really can't manage with the lack of power you best get saving for an Fr or something.

Hope this helps.

oh and welcome to the site mate!
