Amsoil MTF in the tranny.

K&N filter.

Better tires.

Octane booster.

I expect a lot of people will tell you to get a CAI, a header and a cat-back...

Yeah, that was the other one I should have mentioned as being suggested by many people. But the stock suspension is pretty darn good, so unless you can not stand the stock ride height I would not mess with it. Slamming a car looks cool but suspension travel is a good thing.

Lowering Springs + Injen CAI + Short Shifter + Progress Rear Sway = good start.

I agree with the oil and fliter, but Octane booster will do nothing for you. The engine is fuel tuned for 91 Octane. Besides, not sure if it matters, but the race mechanics I use do not recommend using an octane booster additive. If you want higher octane, use higher octane fuel. I run 95, but that is only because I have forced induction. Even with forced induction, I don't need to run 95, I just choose too.

Honestly, I would save it till I had enough for HFP suspension or a cat-back, but thats just my opinion.

Better tires would be good as well. But if your scraping for disposable income, dumping perfectly good tires is hard to do. Besides, if your thinkng about changing wheels, buying tires now would really limit your wheel choices.

Just my opinion
