Removeing the A/C unlocks some HP, remove ALL your interior if your hardcore about it ( lighter car= engine doest have to pull as much weight= little more power ).romove the clutch fan and replace it with an electric fan unlocks some HP in the same way removeing the A/C does (less drag on the motor) intake header exhaust helpsand last but not least, use the search button (very top corner) thats good for atleast 15-20 HP....

Tune up buddy.

Ditching alot of the creature comforts doesn't really seem all that great if you're trying to keep the car streetable, like peeling the noise insulation, interior and what not just doesn't make sense for a daily.

"yet"? If you do plan on going sr, just start saving up now, you'll get it much faster and won't waist money on getting stuff you'll just be selling cheaper later on. If you insist though, go with exhaust, cheap intake with a quality filter, gut the car including ac stuff if your hardcore about it (that's the cheapest way to free up some hp), exhaust header, cam swap from a sohc, lighter rims, aluminum driveshaft.... etc... All this "free's" up horsepower it doesn't "add" except the cams really.

And seriously, use the search feature.
