Easiest parts for a few added hp?
« on: December 19, 2016, 08:59:23 PM »
Hi all! :)

Thinking about options for my 126 when I go about importing one here to Canada. I'll probably be going for one of the later model 126ps (ELX) as a good friend has 1999 ELX in Poland.

That being said, things are pretty wide open and far apart here in Canada compared to what a lot of you are used to in the UK/Europe. I want to keep my 126 mostly stock, but I also want it to be the first car I start working on mechanically in earnest - something to tinker with! :)

If I were to keep my 126 mostly stock but just wish to add a few more horsepower, what's the easiest way to go? Exhaust for one, I'd think? The speed limit on most roads here is 80kph where I live, so a few extra hp to keep me at speed going up hills with the huge RAM and Ford trucks behind me! ;)
