Unless you want to spend a great deal of money, your best option is to keep on top of basic service items.
Spark plugs, spark plug leads, distributor cap, rotor arm, air filter etc etc
In standard form the uno was a light weight car and nippy even with the 1.1 engine.
What year is your uno ?
Are you in UK?

It is a 1990 I've kept on top of the basic maintenance just wondering if there is any more power to be made without spending silly money on it

No there is no cheap way to more power.
Using premium petrol may be a good idea.
Is it in good condition?

Are you sure it is carb?
I have a feeling it could be monopoint injection.

I'm in the UK it's definitely a carb as I rebuilt it. What engine mods are about for it?

Hi,
Good to know it's a carb , probably one of the last carb models sold in UK.

Seriously there are no cheap engine mods for this car. Do not try any of the intake air hoses /pipes / tubes they are all expensive rubbish.

If you want a more powerful car then it's far cheaper to buy a more powerful car.

Is this your first car?

If your car is in good condition don't mess with it , look after it and it will increase in value.


Best wishes

Jack

Cool

Getting brakes 100% a massive help for autotests and decent tyres too.
