ive got a 899 cinq. And i now feel like a need a bit more speed. So i was doing some research and i found this site:

http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/ajwebster/eng.html

and on the last paragraph it says:

'The 1108cc Fire engine as used in the Sporting can also be found in the mk1 Punto 55 model and is mechanically identical even down to the fact that the two cars also share the same gearbox meaning that it is quite possible to create a 6 speed Cinquecento by using the transmission from a Punto ELX..... also nearly identical is the 1242cc Fire engine used in the later mk2 Punto 60 models which is virtually a bolt for bolt swap and has proved a popular relatively cheap upgrade.'

is this only able to be done on the sporting cinq or can it be done to mine as well? and is it really as easy as it says?
if not, is there any other mods i am able to do to add to my power? i know some already like changing air filter, taking the cat out etc but is there any others?

any help would be much appreciated, cheers guys!
