"Very cheap car to mod... And looks awesome when done right!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car is very reliable.

If well maintained, it will last forever

The roof is a bit leaky if passed through an automatic car wash :)

Only thing going right now are both front ball joints... At 160,000km!!

General comments?

Modified 1.3L in-line 4 ported, polished head, modified intake allowing a 2brl. Tbi (out of 4.3L V-6),header, HEI ingition, computer mods, power pulleys, forged everything... Power around 120 hp at the crank. Still does 40 mpg... Doesn't seem much, but put it in a 2000bls car, it's called zoom zoom!!

Handles great!! Has 2" drop, with nitro shocks all round, 15' wheels on 205/45r15 Goodyear Eagles.

Tranny: stock 5 speed. With center force clutch.

I need to know how you fit the 2 barrel onto that intake manifold. I'm not a guy with pipe dreams, I'm just rigging up a 1.0 L metro because its original and at times really funny. (especially replacing the valve cover gasket with a hefty brand trash bag cut out and black silicone.. it works)

I have a 4 door 1992 with a 1.3 and am having a hard time finding tuning information for it. What are some simple things that can be done to the 1.3 (filters, chips, etc) to get another half a dozen or so hp out of it? thanks.
