LED washer jets are lighter than standard ones as well remember, thats an extra 5bhp

Deffo chip it thou, also adding red bull to your petrol makes it go faster

If you honestly knew about inductions kits you shouldn't of wasted your money, people have found it makes 1.2 8v's go slower

obviously then i didnt know enough about induction kits, that's why im on here asking you lot the questions, then maybe ill learn about this stuff, dont really look like im going to though does it? might get piss taken instead. never mind i get the point you can't tune a 1.2 might aswell buy a better engine or car sadly i cant do that till i get some no claims lose some points and get out of uni so thought i might try and do the best i can with what ive already got and hoped i might get a little help

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

Yes, its in the exhaust, drill the spot welds out and tip it out, normally funnel shaped.

I removed mine from my Aprilia SR50, went from doing 27mph to 52.5mph in a instant, felt like a flying machine

i bet it wasnt doing 140mph :s

unless the guy was seriously having a laugh...converting his 1.2 punto so a 2.0 lump or sumthing and leaving the car standard otherwise

The only thing restricting a 1.2 8v is the 1.2 8v. Remove the restrictor by removing it.
