why not try an ignition advancer, it simply bolts on-direct replacement and gives em more torque all for about £45

These cars need to be driven carefully. If you do so, you won't need any extra power for say 1-2 years (until you learn how to use the power
you've got without trashing your car, I trashed mine much earlier so I can't say from experience really).
Enjoy!

Big bore kit and flat slides should give nice reliable power c150 bhp. Cost will be approx £1500 less if you can do the work yourself.
But for that money you would probably be better upgrading to an R1.
But as the others say get used to the power, get the car setup properly (for you). And enjoy.

Be cheaper going on a diet, assuming you've got a couple of pounds to lose!
Seriously though there are other more cost-effective weight saves to do first. Like they have all said get used to it and prove you can use all it
gives. Don't forget you, as all who use a bike engine, are getting a lot of power out of a few ccs, these engines are naturally highly stressed
compared to a saloon car engine. Power does not come cheap. Best money you'll spend is on the right rubber IMHO.

Rubber (chuckle  ) and suspension setup IMHO.

Second what Kissy says about rubber... get some good stuff - you don't wanna be cutting corners with this especially on a track or a road...
that narrow's it down then!!!

It looked well on the trailer as I passed it just inside Wales late Friday morning on the A55.
I didnt realise it was from local to me.
I'd been in Llangefni on business for a few days and was travelling home to Donny in my SAAB motorway cruiser.
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

It's going to make that pushbike go really well
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I agree Pete, that front disc brake will never slow it down
