Default 95 Escort 1.3 pushrod engine

Evening all

Got a Escort Encore 1.3 3door as a new daily hack while I'm doing a few bits to my Focus ST.

Coming from a 300bhp ST to a 1.3 20 year old escort it's incredibly slow I fully understand it's only about 50bhp so I wasn't expecting it to be in anyway shape or form fast.

Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make it more revvy/responsive? After about 40mph it will get to 70mph easily and quite happily sit there all day it's just getting to 40mph literally takes forever!! It's fuel injected it looks like it was a last minute thought though as it's the oddest injection system I've ever seen haha.

Any help will be much appreciated I'm not expecting miracles but just something to help make it easier to drive.

Cheers Andy
