My son showed me this from the Honda CRX forum, the quotes are from a corsa forum. It's well funny!

I agree with your point, but the car is a little quicker than the standard SXi and so I felt the SRi badges were appropriate. It only carries 1 person, Me. It has no extra weight in the car, all glove compartments, cubby holes and the boot is empty. The rear exhaust may or may not add power. It has only ever run on Optimax, I know you get more boost out if this fuel on bigger engined cars but every little helps. The tyres are always inflated to 38 PSI to give extra grip and less tyre slouch. Often I put the rear seats flat, this reduces weight. (Like why you crawl flat across a frozen pond so as not to break the ice). I regularly drive with around £10 of fuel, again weight saving, and often I use engine cleaner in the fuel load to remove debris from the fuel injectors. The car is always clean improving aerodynamic progress. I have timed the 0 - 60 at 9.3 seconds, and this shaves a couple of seconds off the standard time. Hope this answers your question.

The rear seat thing, It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they remove a bit of weight. Vertical seats exert more downward force because the energy is focused on a smaller surface area. When horizontal, the weight is spread and so is less per Centimetre squared.
So thats it, I'm off to:
1. lay the rear seat flat on the B20
2. Never give anyone a ride in it ever again
3. Throw on a louder exhaust - it might not do anything but nothing to lose
4. Never put more than £10 worth of optimax in
5. Throw away the manual when it comes to tyre pressures - more is better so the B20 will be ace with about 50psi in it
6. Keep it polished up and if it (only remotely) feels faster put type R badges on it as its obviously earned them [quote]
Right, thats it for the idots guide to modifying your 1.2 nik nak - more later if I find any more gems like this one!

This has been put up to us Mods to move, however as I think its a bit of light humour within these walls of Noble owners, I'm going to leave it here.
Also I know who wrote this, as do many PH'er as it's a PH'er. Who thankfully has grown up. He has, and still does take sooooooo much stick for this. To save him from a further torrent of abuse best keep it out of the main forums.
