It'd most likely cost more than a valver conversion.
10hp can be gained by finding a 440 B18KP engine, custom exhausts are around 4/500 with manifolds alone around 300.
Until 18months ago it wasn't a "scene" car so there are no aftermarket parts

Depends who does it.
A Garage = 1 million pounds.
Someone in their front yard = affordable.
Im sure theres forum members thatd do you one at a reasonable rate.

Nice saxo, Better than most the ones you see. My first car was a TU3 Pug 206

so same engine, what did you do to get 80-odd BHP? My mate got his complete standard 1.4 8v RR'd and it has 82bhp.
Go for a 300 mate! My second car, got the 2.0 injection GLT MK3. Love it.
