if your induction kit is not enclosed it may help to get an enclosed one ,

£100 won't get you that far in terms of perfromance gains but what you can start look at is reducing the weight of your car there for increasing the cars power to weight ratio.

Look at the 106 rallye. look around the car and see what you could do with out. Back seats? If yes then not only du lose them but all the surroundin plastic, parcel self.

If your really brave (and IMO I personally wouldnt ) how about the spare wheel? If yes then not only du lose the wheel but also the cage.

There's loads of other bits of needless plastic floatin about in the saxo.

Some people don't like the striped out look but if its your thing not only does it look good but it helps and its free to take bits out. Remember Fat people cant run fast ! ! !

I good mod ive have been told about is a lead shoe... It helps keep your foot on the accelerator. lol.

just messing...

Seriously tho, if your air filter isnt inclosed, then get some ally ducting and get as much cold air as you can to it. But try not to put the ducting over the manifold as it will only heat up. O, and try and get it from a cleaner supply as you can (ie, not the inside of your wheel arch).
Somewhere at the front will be fine. Remember, the more the better. Even if its lots of 2.5 inch ducting. Dont expect a huge power increase tho. Also, you may be able to get a polished (but standard) throttle body for your £100, and hopfully have change.

Hope this helps. Dave

Yep. Manifold, de-cat etc.

Lose weight is your best bet. Take the spare wheel out.
Back seats don't weigh all that much anyway.

If you really wanted to, put a VTS box in your VTR, slightly closer ratios. Ive done this and its worked pretty well. Actually, i could not find a VTR box so I had no choice!
