Sell it and buy a 1.2 16v or a 1.4 8/16v.

There is nothing you can do cheaply to that engine that will give you any noticeable increase in power unfortunately.
Drilling the airbox like Jaffa said will give you more noise though.

cavalier rear anti roll bar will make it much nicer in the corners.

Would this be better than a cone filter? More power? lol

Your not going to get cheap power. This is the slowest engine in a Corsa b, cheapest way is o sell and buy a bigger engined car

drilling the airbox on mine deffo made a small improvement, might just have been in my head though cos it makes the car sound better

u2u Kurt on here. There's some form of Nova SR cam, and a couple of other cheap things which will see 60 odd bhp, which is better than a kick in the balls! But not by much.
