Alps Pacino- Depends really what your after,
I have a mate selling a genuine group N ecu which I had on my last nova and combined with the high torque cams it was probably the best thing I could of fitted without going down the carbs or TB route which costs a lot for the gains.
Nitrous on a xe is the simplest cheapest way to make big h/p but its no good really for the track as it wont last long enough ! but you can use anything upto 125bhp hit which transforms the car like no other mod would.
coilovers and a LSD are the 2 main things to making the car fast as they are quick enough in a straight line but lose out in the bends so improving the handling makes it a quicker car,
besides that teh only way of making it a lot faster for next to nothing is losing as much weight as possible, that does make a huge difference.
hope that is some help

Can you pm me a price on the group n ecu mate, in aint wanting to spend a fortune on it but need to make it a bit quicker. I think i might ditch the rear seats and fit a cage. Any ideas where i might find a nice cheap cage for project chav
O and it has billys on the front and avo coilovers on the rear. handles quite well really for what it is

I was contemplating turbo'ing the 1.6 but the idea has started to fade a bit, mainly due to the rareness of the plate, i keep thinking it will de-value it, not that it's worth much but i've had it near on 5 years and i love it just as much now as the day i bought it, even with the stigma it might have attatched with it's name!
Your car is a true stunner, if they'd of made Breeze Blue in a GSi, that would have been my first choice.
