I just got a deal on a 91 1.3 manual trans, just needs a tune up. It has a carb on it and i was wondering if anyone knew of an upgrade jet kit or a different carb that fits. Also trying to find out info about upgrading suspension and different wheels since 12 inch tires are sketchy. Thanks!

Welcome! By you having a carby 91, I'm guessing you must be in Australia or somewhere close. Might want to add your location via the user CP close to the top of the page.
The search is your friend. Plus click on Forum on the left and browse thru the threads. There is a LOT of info in there.

suspension get aspire front knuckles and tie rod ends. use the stock festy lower control arm. take the rear beam with e-brake cable(its longer on aspires) and get the rubber brake hoses with aspire rear.the one from beam to body hoses. also get rear aspire struts if u r gonna run big wide tires and of course u need the wheels b/c the aspire stuff is 4x100 bolt pattern 13" wheels and the festy isn't.Comment

Cool Thanks ! I need to find an aspire now and get started.Comment

yea it really wakes these cars up in the suspension and braking departments good luckComment

Seller was wrong its a throttle body not a carb. So far the interior has been redone new carpet '92 seats and been painted black with blue trim. Tune up, a walker sound fx muffler. I need some wheels badly the 12 inchs that are on it are way to small. Thinking of swap for aspire hubs and different wheels.Comment

Get some pics please!Originally posted by Wes View Post
Moving up to 13,14 or 15 rims is pretty common, most upgrade to the aspire brakes with the heavier larger rims. I like having 13's with a wider tire, currently I have 14's with a wide tire which is fine but a bit heavy.

Didn't that car belong to a California forum member a couple of years ago? That stripe on the side looks very familiar.
