yalor, how much can extract from 1.3, unless force induction........lolMod your handling. If you cant make your car go faster - make it corner faster.
Oh one of the best thing you can consider is a lightweight hood. The stock Iswara hood is heavy like a mofo. Lightening the front is one of the best things you can do - BUT... please note that the safety of the car is heavily compromised if you change to a fiber hood. I don't know if they make a CF hood for Iswaras...Hey sifus here, I'm wondering what can I do to improve my car performance. Not looking into engine swap as its not worth.
My iswara is a 4g13p
I have upgraded:
Spark plug
Exhaust system
Open pod
inb4 hood costs 1/2 the carOh one of the best thing you can consider is a lightweight hood. The stock Iswara hood is heavy like a mofo.

maybe audio "performance"?Do nothing. Save your money. It will expedite your car change schedule.
True also, my car can already hit 180 but its literally flyingMod your handling. If you cant make your car go faster - make it corner faster.
Cant imagine the engine doing well for long periods of time at that speed, it should be at redline already at 180kmh in 5th gear.True also, my car can already hit 180 but its literally flying
Wow! 1.3 can hit 180kph.......Cant imagine the engine doing well for long periods of time at that speed, it should be at redline already at 180kmh in 5th gear.
Don't play-play... wonder how long it takes to hit that 180...Wow! 1.3 can hit 180kph.......
Its kinda quick for an old tech 1.3 manual. Maybe due to the lesser weight. This car feels like its gliding on a layer of air at high speed.Don't play-play... wonder how long it takes to hit that 180...
I think it can hit 180kmh, but then again its only hit, that means you cant maintain that speed for long, my guess a minute or two. I tried 160kmh in my 1.3 saga before, the car felt unstable, the engine noise, and wind noise all point towards a very stressed out chassis and engine. At 180kmh it should well be in the redline zone of rpm range. Thats not good for long periods as the oil between the engine bearings are shearing rapidly and generating a lot of heat, and thinning the oil. Also dont forget these cars have a very inaccurate speedometer, 180kmh on the needle could be only 170kmh actual speed.Wow! 1.3 can hit 180kph.......
That doesn't sound right. the 5th gear assuming its MT, is too big to reach redline.I think it can hit 180kmh, but then again its only hit, that means you cant maintain that speed for long, my guess a minute or two.

You have to understand the iswara is a car from a different era compared to the persona. Its a 1.3L carb engine car, I owned one before, and drove it for 20 years, so I do know what I am talking about. Generally for those era cars, the smaller the cc, the higher the engine spins per kmh compared to a larger cc car. Whether its far away or not, I would need to recalculate, but my guess it would be at least 500rpm more to reach redline. Many 4 speed autos even of the same era has a OD gear that lowers the top end rpm. Those auto trans OD gear can actually be lower than a manual trans 5th gear.That doesn't sound right. the 5th gear assuming its MT, is too big to reach redline.
My persona auto 4 hit 190kmh at about 5000rpm thereabouts only. Definitely far away from redline
