autos arent that good for modding as manuals are, if your looking for some speed and fun.

^ good job, captain obvious lol jk

I'd say i/h/e... also, I'd start looking for a 5-speed transmission to swap in

also look into lowering springs, wheels, and maybe a lip or body kit.

why is that? body kits are not bad if done right

Well anyways, if you want performance mods done to your car, you would have to modify your engine and its components. Doing a engine swap helps or a adding boost to your car. You can do a lot of things to it, the question do you have a money, time, and personal experience or not?

i'd vote against a body kit. i'm not a fan of them..though SOME (not most) look good. the thing about the body kit is that people often get them before modding their cars. which reminds me of that toyota ad for the celica. "looks fast." (but isn't) if you have a body kit, more people will want to race you.

Might wanna change all oils, and check for wear and tear on parts first, before you go spending on other things.
