i know that there is not a lot of extra performance to be found from a tiny one litre engine but i was wondering from a group of people who work with corsas all the time if you knew of anything i could do to increase the performance without going to extremes e.g turbo, supercharging, dropping in a larger engine e.ct ... the things i have been suggested are:

srut braces

fse fuel boost valve

lowering springs 35mm

corsa gsi spoiler

and a slightly larger exaust

(i already have a k&n air filter)

I highly doubt a GSi spoiler will add performance

You will get very little if nothing out of an X10XE engine.

There's no Mods that will really increase power atall tbh unless you built some expensive custom 1.0 turbo car.

All you can do is like ben said loose some weight and just try make it look nice. engine conversion is where its at tbh

Lies. They add an extra 50bhp at least.
