Re: How do I make my car faster

Faster car maybe lol only joking.

You can try the following:

stripping out your interior
induction kit
cams
chipping it
exhaust
coilovers and strut braces - alot quicker round corners
alloys - for cornering again
nitrous oxide - abit extreme

or

just put a bigger engine in - alot of work and money

but

the easiest way is a new car

i disagree, if your going to faff about trying to get the 20v N/A engine in you might aswell just do the turbo engine.

a medium mechanic should have it done in 2 weeks no problems

its also the cheapest and quickest way.

buy a 1.6 bravo, and then sell your 1.4 to pay for it. if you can get a 1.6HLX then you also get lots of other goodies that the HLX spec has.

for example you could get this for £800-900
