No lol. You can make it marginaly quicker with work to the head etc but not worth any where near the expenditure. The later multipoint injection engine is alot better then the earlier single point though, seems to have a bit more of a kick but still slow!

lol a vr6 would be good,Im sure would like that.I had an a6 quattro with the v6 in, she liked to drive round in that but i got fed up with filling the tank up lol.I know what it'll be tho when my 16v's ready she will want to use that lol.

i have to live with the 1.4 until my premium comes down  :sad: (or a decent gti becomes available!) (having said that, i drove my sisters 03' clio 1.2, and mine had alot more go about it then that did which i was pleasently surprise with!)

All the insides have gone out of my cat.. which I think has made it quicker (less restrictive?)
I drilled a few holes in the airbox and added a cold air feed, that seemed to make a difference too

Everyone I've taken out in my 1.4 says it's not as slow as they thought it'd be and one even said he's been in slower 1.6's :grin:

Yes the garage i take mine to constantly mistake it for a 1.6. The later 1.4s (multipoint) are really not as bad. They have the bad name because the early ones really were gutless. I can get a GTI insurance for about a grand now (1.4 is £600 atm) so i am looking, but not going to buy untill next year unless i see a really good un'!
