i know im pissing in the wind here but...

after asking about for a bigger engine, i rang insurance and they wont insure me anything bigger that i want! ( first year driving)

is there any little tweeks i can do to my engine for a little more kick? :\ anything at all?

its a x12sz

i was thinking on crazy things like...

could i possibly run it fuel injected? instead of carbs?
OR
getting ....Bigger Carb?

not sure what could be done!

i currently have another 1.2 8v cylinder head upwards what i used for parts. that was fuel injected with a totally different air system than iv seen!? would that be the TB?

thats why i was thinking change it to fuel injected! maybe im being stupid by trying to improve a 1.2

haha i know... its what someone said to me a couple years ago but i couldnt find a c16se so didnt do it.. now im 21 soon doin a 20 xe conversion instead. as said before just strip the car out and make it handle as good as possible and learn to corner fast as oppose to straight line power
