Tuning what modifications have people done to their 1.4 16v's or starjets?

[dynamicsportchris]

As the title says, i have a 1.4 16v starjet grande punto and wondered what sort of modifications people are doing to them both performance mods and styling mods.

Also could people suggest some websites where i can buy parts from as i've searched the internet and cant find much

thanks guys!

I've looked for a gsr induction kit and can't find where to buy one! I used to know the contact details for the guy at gsr and lost it
Also vxr seats sounds good but I bet its hard to adjust the seat bases?
Any performance mods readily available?

 

[gpactivesport]

the seats are a straight swap, no modifying them at all (i think even the electrical connections are the same? might be wrong)

as for performance, theres not really alot ive got the same car.
i think some companies are starting to do remaps for them claiming a boost to around 110-120
then you can try and get a gsr (not sure if there still about) or a cat back exhaust

if the remaps are now possible and do as they claim, you might be able to get about 135 from them

You won't get 135 from a starjet without spending a fortune, be lucky to get 10 bhp off a remap on a N/A car.

i thought that 20bhp increase was a bit exaggerated

i know someone whos got a gsr on a starjet and had it on the rolling road, came out at just under 100 i think, but im assuming thats a good engine?
if you added a free flow and remap wouldnt be too far off would it? td performance's remap adds 15bhp

i dont really know, never tuned a car before

Don't bother wasting your money on performance mod's imho.

Lowering should be first on your list. Alloys? ICE?

If tuning companies do start doing remaps for the starjet I will think about it after getting a custom stainless exhaust and possibly building my own induction kit if gsr no longer do them!
Corsa vxr seats are over £500! I got a full aygo interior for £150 lol
Is it even possible to upgrade the ICE with blue&me?
