Fogdoggydog Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Never tried it myself - but try some redex type stuff. Clear out all the crap in the engine.Cold air feed might help a wee bit. I bought a tin foil oven exhuast from homebase for mine for £8, but you could steal tubing from anywhere.Get really skinny wheels/tires less friction on the road = more speed.Get rid of your seats, stereo, spare wheel, dashboard, gear knob, radio aerial, power steering, anything you don't care about having in your car.Fill a large jar with any change less than 50p you have in your pocket each day. When you fill the jar use that money to by engine parts. You might only be able to buy a part every 6 months, but in the mean time you'll be too busy thinking of non-essential parts to strip off the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If its a turbo, yank that cat off and introduce it to Mr Chisel.Rip interior out and all un-needed gadgets like air con etc and if its a glanza, bypass the boost restriction.That will make a huge difference in 1st and 2nd .Other than them, hp = £ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 i use redex in mine, cant say i noticed any performance difference but it isnt doin the engine any harm at all, quite the contrary, its good gear. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keirz Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 tricky. taking all seats and door panals off works out about an extra 6bhp per tonne. i have taken every thing out my car weighed it and done the calculations. dont get why putting factory 13" steelies on will add any bhp. explain please???
