Hi there everyone. Just a newbie here who has recently bought his first car a fiesta mk3 1.0. I was woundering what engine upgrades would give it a little more power or just at least freshen it up a little as it is 25 years old. Also if anyone has any tips to improve the handling and general things it would be appreciated. I look forward to hearing your answers.

    Any upgrade on an engine of that age might kill it.   If you decide to go ahead, don't forget to let your insurer know.

    what might give it a new lease of life is a very good service, so a flush of the system etc, you never no it might do the trick

    Hello harvey

    About the best think you could do is mentioned by alex.

    Once you have done that, then you could look at an induction kit.

    You must always notify your ins co of any changes.

    Don't spend too much on it as its an aged car you wont get your money back.
