any engine degreaser will work.. just spray on and hose off
yes a light weight flywheel will help you rev up quicker
all of those struts will help improve handling a bit.. make sure you invest in the real deal and not ebay crap..

1. Simple Green works best
2. Sure, but on a stock motor you could probably get better gains elsewhere.
3. Yes, but getting shocks/struts and springs will be the biggest suspension improvement.

Yes. Just be sure to cover your air filter and dizzy with a bag/don't spray directly on it.

Probably but the time and effort put into that, you could just as easily install a turbo and get a LOT more power. That's what I did.

Ebay is good but you have to know what you're looking for, I would personally go for clifford/alpine and not from ebay.

true.. dont invest in a light flywheel UNLESS you plan on changing your clutch anytime soon.. dont invest in headers or intake manifold either.. I would say work on suspension for now..
