Aftermarket Intake Manifold? High-flow Cat? Lighter Flywheel? All of those are some basic suggestions.. A BIG suggestion would be Nitrous, i'm sure you'd be pleased with the gains from that.

I have the same car with the same engine, and i don't think you will be happy after investing your money into cam, ignition, plug wires, intake manifold, or high-flow cat, on a 1.6l naturally aspirated ecomotor. If you aren't prepared to spend the money on boost, i'd recommend performance suspension so you can at least have fun with what you got.
