mines a 2004 1.8 witha pipercross panal filter and NGK iridium spark plugs, dannysport18 is right my mcar got there quite fast but was bouncing off the redline, the 1.8 really needs a 6th gear :)

ive heard that u can get a vectra c air intake pipe that fits straight on to get more air in and more power, its in 2 parts, part numbers are 9177104 and 9177099, cost bout £18 and should help the acceleration of ur car.
