Foci_st3 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 depends how much you wanna spend and if you plan to keep the car for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 May also depend on how old you are. If you are under 25, most insurers will not cover you if you have any modifications at all. Therefore it may be cheaper to buy a more powerful car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcr1 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 You could get a performance exhaust, a good one will add a few horses, get a remap on the engine, new air box. They'd probably be the cheapest option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 I didnt think youd be able to get a remap on a 1.3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sorry if that sounds stupid but ive never made any mods like that so its all new to me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 You can remap any car I believe with a modern engine, obviously the smaller the engine the smaller gains there to be had as there is less to play with if you get me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yeah makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A remap on a 1.4 petrol will be very limited. Any gains you may get will be nowhere near worth the costs incurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
