1.1 classic tuning

Postby Zak on Thu Nov 15, 2007 5:31 pm

Ok because of insurance prices im stuck with a ford fiesta 1.1 classic until i can get a cheap enough insurance quote to do an engine conversion :cry: but i was just wonderin what cheap things i could do to just get a little more power, typically i was thinking a performance exhaust and an air filter, but that could just be the boy racer in me :devil: ive got to do something lol even if it means just making it sound a bit better.

Stick a full system on it, change the jets or carb along with a filter which will certainly help it and get it set up properly on a rolling rd. U could do other things but would cost a lot for v little and ur insurance wouldnt like it either.

I had a 1.1 modded and it went quite well with the bits i had done to it for a 1.1 anyway.
Clean it, Polish it, Drive it!!!!

Life in the fast lane.

Back box and air filter an nothing else as it will cost money for next to no gain.

Full system is a waste of cash mate. Just change the back box. There is no gain to be had by fitting a system to this engine.
