Er... push it?  ;)

Ok being serious now, i used to have a 1.4 CL and it was slow as hell and thats how it'll always be  :(  
Theres not much point in trying to get enough bhp gain for that little bit of speed as you'll be wasting your money  :-\

LOL, yeh MK3 1.4s are 60 bhp, i know cos i currently push a 1.4 L  :o i don't even bother racing anybody except rover metros  ;D they are easy targets.  

Eggo, LadyCruzers right, don't waste your time and money trying to improve the performance of this car, just save up and get a GTi 16v which hopefully i should have by summer.
