do a SEARCH mate, this question's been asked loads before.
but there really is no point in tuning a 1.1. by the time you've spent money getting an exhaust,filter,cams,headwork, ecu remap etc, it soon exceeds the cost of dropping in a vtr lump. i would say leave it at an exhaust and filter, coz in reality a 1.1 is never gonna keep up with a vtr.

gets it converted to a 1.4. Mine is a 1.4, not as quick as MK2 VTR's (98bhp) , but its pretty close to the 90hp spec ones.

Yea i agree, engine swap would be give you more BHP for your £££.

Plus you could keep it looking like a 1.1 but with the VTRs growl!!
