Hmm. Makes me wonder why you'd want any more than 105 tbh. Where you going to use that?

Dave's right - it's getting there first that matters. We don't live in Germany and even on track days it's hardly worth having a top end much higher than say 110 ish.

only mods worth doing to the 1.4 zr are;

full service
enclosed induction kit with cold air feed - ITG Maxogen, BMC CDA
full exhaust system - manifold, sports cat or decat, mid pipe, backbox (i recommend a fully s/s janspeed system)
stripping the car - remove seats, carpets, speakers etc.
1.6 conversion - £500
1.8 conversion - £500-1000 - depending on who does the work
2.0turbo conversion - £500-£4000 - depending on who does the work, and what bits and bobs you have done as well (front mounted intercooler etc).

but the cost of doing these mods to a 1.4 is far greater than just buying a faster car.

See my post in your other thread mate, but getting a cold air feed to the fog light is more work than you will want to do i think, judging from your knowledge of modding.

It involves cutting a hole in the frame of the car.

The best option is to get a panel filter, explained better in the other thread.

Hm, no disrespect but the first mod could be to write in decent English... it's hard to offer advice when we can't understand what you're saying...

Say what? Coolier gin? Is that like Tanqueray straight out of a freezer?

:rolleyes:
