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!!
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.
6000 watt sound system, Orion 15"(1) & 8(2) DCCV subs, JVC XR-5 deck, Alpine DSP EQ, Alpine V-12 amp & Quartz 4 channel 1500 watts for highs.
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.
Your nuts!!! 120hp!!!
How did you do that I am stuck at 63hp.
