#1: 1.1 I want More Power Author: Jay_D, Location: Mold, North WalesPosted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:37 am ---- Is there anyway of getting more power out of a 1.1 engine size WITHOUT effecting the insaurance because im only 17 and the insaurance is sky high
#2: Re: 1.1 I want More Power Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:39 am ---- No, you should insure all mods made to your car otherwise if you crash you will not be covered and if you hit someone else you f*** them because your insurance wont pay out.
Its never going to be quick, save your money for a bigger engined car.
EDIT: should have said all performance mods will increase your insurance. Last edited by Big_Rich180 on Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:44 am; edited 1 time in total

Anything you do to get more power will effect your insurance as you will need to inform them of the changes you have done.
All so moved to the correct section as this is not really a problem.

Dont be silly, less weight = less weight = better power to weight ratio not more powerz
It still = a slow 1.1 though.

Then I took it off because I realized my fuel consumption had raised. When I put the stock one back on, I noticed that the car was a bit less responsive but it wasn't worth keeping it in my opinion.

#9: Re: 1.1 I want More Power Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:14 am ---- A 17 year old driving a 1.1 206 & you want more power
You know it will end in a total loss claim sooner or later.
Build up your no claims bonus, save some money & buy a more powerful car after a few years.
#10: Re: 1.1 I want More Power Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:27 am ---- I have a 1.1 this is my first year, and its quick enough for the first year coming up to my second year and ill keep it for one more year then upgrade. should think about doing the same, modding your car will just make your insurance go up more and more and if its high as it is why bother?. if you want to go fast borrow your parents car for a week or something i borrowed my dads Golf GTi edition 30 and LOVED IT!
#11: Re: 1.1 I want More Power Author: DJKaySee, Location: UK, England,NottinghamPosted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:36 am ---- Want more power ? there's a few choices
Mod your car, Declare Mods = Pay more insurance.
Buy a bigger car = Pay more insurance.
Get pulled by a Jet = more power = no insurance increase (well at least I don't think that it states in the insurance policy that being pulled by a jet is an issue)
Overall matie if you want more power be prepared to pay more insurance. To be fair anyone that mods a 1.1 is a conker.
Why spend money on modding a 1.1 when that same money could have been spent on modding a GTI 180 ?
As others said save money, Then buy a bigger car.
But before all that, learn how to handle the car and learn how to drive efficiently... Just because you have passed your test doesn't mean you are a good driver, nothing is more important than experience.

It will go quite nicely for quite a while.

I've modded a 1.1 and don't regret any of it but i guess you mean performance mods, in which case I agree. I'd never try and get "more power" out of my 1.1, I'll just wait and have a quicker car when i'm older/less likely to be raped for insurance, OP should do the same as everyone else has said
edit: I suppose coilovers and exhaust are "performance mods" but I didn't get them to improve performance
#14: Re: 1.1 I want More Power Author: marc206, Location: Bourne, LincsPosted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:43 am ---- you won't gain any power from a 1.1 even with an ecu remap you'll only gain a few bhp and not alot of torque. my suggestion stick with the little 1.1 then get a 1.4/1.6 in a few years
#15: Re: 1.1 I want More Power Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 12:45 pm ---- End of the day its a 1.1, i was the same when i had mine first 206 which was a 1.1, soon realised it was stupid to try increase a 1.1 and just saved up for my 1.6 which ive only got a panel filter and air feed for lol
