Smile 98 CIVIC hatchback

hello there, i am completely new to cars but am gaining a massive intrest into engines. i have currently been driving around my honda civic for about a week now and have only noticed that when driving at high speeds (motorway) that i have next to know high end, in gears 4-5 i realize that the car is only a 1.4 injection and there for my power rating must be pretty low, but i have a friends with 1.5 Lsi's who's continue to pull even at 125mph in 5th, when mine seems to stop pulling at 100mph in 5th, im just wondering if thats supposed to be like that? or my car may need some attention. otherwise i'l have lil 1.1 puggs over taking me, and thats not good for honda maan :/
any help welcome!

Re: 98 CIVIC hatchback

What is a "1.4 injection"? Are you driving a USDM Civic hatch? If so then you should running a 1.6 liter motor. Your options are turbo, blower, massive internal mods, or swap in a bigger engine if you want more top end.

But start with a tune-up.
