That's not gonna take you very far. You need to set a goal based on what you will be using the car for and start saving for that. Gotta pay to play.
With $1300, that's enough for N/A bolt-ons which really don't do sh1t except fool ppl who have never driven a fast car into thinking they have a fast car because of all the noise it makes. If you want real power and speed, you need more money.
BUT! If you just wanna have fun... $1300 is plenty. Pick up a cheap ebay 3 inch exhaust, test pipe, 4-2-1 headers and a cone air filter. Thats about $550 there maybe.
Then pull your crap open diff out, weld that sumbich and install 4.636 final drive ring gears from some junked Frontier or Xterra at the salvage yard. And while you're there, snag some spare 248 duration cams and run them on both your intake and exhaust side. Maybe another $100 here for the labor to weld your diff.
Top things off with a grabby clutch and aluminum flywheel for maybe another $500. Won't be powerful, but it will be responsive, peppy, reliable as hell and will get you sideways really damn easy. Maybe about 155hp to the wheels. Keep in mind that most stock 240's dyno about 120whp.
Just my opinion. But if I were you, I'd target coilovers and wheels first. Then start saving for real power adders and not waste money on N/A crap.
