That's certainly a big jump! I was thinking more a 1.4 Multi-air or T-Jet.
Yeah I was thinking the same, your next best step would probs be a 1.4 16v
I love the GP, it's lovely to sit in, and to drive, well when your not talking about power, but anyways, I want to move away from fiat, unless it's an abarth GP maybe. Even those 0.8 turbos look fun haha, more bhp than the 1.2
By the time I'm thinking of a 2nd car most 1.9's will be rather old (they dont make them anymore if I'm not mistaken, only 1.4's) And the 1.6's are rather rare arn't they? I think they exist, not too sure, saw someone talk about one on here. None on auto trader or ebay.
Only problem with the rs is I wont have much to upgrade too after that unless my life goes great and I can afford even better
how is the k&n fitted? most of them take away power
It's odd, when I got it I knew nothing about cold air induction, if i was to get one now I wouldn't have chosen the 57i (made for GP version)
It's a flat filter that sits on top of the air intake, with a cold air feed pointed towards it which leads to the front grille, I'm gonna add another cold air feed to maybe help.
Definitely a poor design from k&n, if your going to get an induction kit, splash out and get the bmc
Best think about the k&n though is the very nice humm it makes, takes no effort at all to get a nice note out the bonnet

(Ive since changed where the pipe leads too, it's now behind the grille, I couldnt figure out how to remove that weird plastic thing hiding the gap to the grille when i took that pic
) I've also moved the pipe away from the top of the engine, less heat hopefully )
Spend your monies on handling. Eibach sportlines, Bilstein B6 shocks, forge subframe braces and some Rota, OZ or Compomotive light alloys.
Then you wouldnt need to slow down as much on the corners and more importantly round abouts
I forgot to mention you'll get all the bitches
Bitches only care about what they can see, those +10bhp go faster stripes are like ***** magnets
(feel like i have to mention that was a joke)
