1998 Chevrolet Metro LSi review from North America
"I love it for what it is, a simple car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car to date.
The window on the driver side is sometimes hard to roll up and down. I will take off the door cover and have and see once what is up once the outside temperature drops below 95.
General comments?
My 1.3 4 cylinder runs great!
I changed the plugs out with Bosch Plat.+4's.
I installed a K&N air filter that was very hard to find for the 1.3L.
Also, I have a tip for the 1.3L family, change out the tires to: 185x70x13. Not to worry, they fit like a glove! This will change out your gear ratios a bit giving the car a massive mid-range boost. Not recommended for the 1.0L! Sorry guys, that motor is to small to lug the car around with the larger size tires.
Next tip is to cut out the 2' long pre muffler and replace with a straight pipe. This cost me, $30.00 cash and carry. This allows the car to breath easier.
You will be shocked at the power you can get out of the 1.3L with just a bit of tinkering.
