At the end of the day it's a 1.3, u could chuck a load of money at it and it would make little difference. Filter and exhaust will make a niose but will go no faster.

Y not just concentrate on looks?

I it's ur first car im guessing ur quite young. Y not get a few years ncb and then get a faster fez? :D

Just buy a exhaust and filter, at least it will then sound like it going faster :wink:

Have you considered setting fire to it? If you open the boot and drive along with the car on fire, the expansion of gases due to the combustion process might propel the car along a little faster....?

its actually my second car, my first was a 1.1 mk2 c reg fiesta, and it had a sraight through exhaust with a cherry bomb, great car but having long journeys every day the test of time failed and so my gearbox diff bearings decided to 'seperate' engine was mint though....
but ive heard that by plugging the module into the wds computer you can alter the ignition timing and fuelling of the car (up the injection pressure a little), is that true or rubbish, the car is quite nice though, i am thinking of a nice set of side skirts a splitter and the zetec-s front grill, its got alloys as well which is good.
