For a budget of $10, my advice would be...

Remove the exhaust and airfilter completely, remove any other part of the car that isn't essential, go on a diet yourself, and cut the springs.

For someone with more than $10 to their name...

Full exhaust (2 or 2 1/4 inch) - $300
Custom extractors - $180
Bigger carb - $50 - $???
Cam - $170 plus

...or just upgrade from the 4K... :lol:

Wouldnt be much point cutting springs, unless you were only gonna take a coil or two off, as the resulting bouncing would make you slower.

Yeah, but as much as people are going to disagree with me, chopping off a few coils improves the cornering ability of a KE70 dramitcally... :lol:

As illegal as it is, I'd still say no more than one or two...old ass shocks arent gonna take much to bottom out, which will slow you down.
Oooh, and if its a wagon it'll just look dumb :lol:

only remove the filter box if its not the emissions controled carb, which it shouldnt be.

Either get my 5k, for 200 bucks and put your head on it, or turbo it

all up for under about 500 you can boost past those sissys in vtecs

You can put a downdraught webber off a cortina (not sure what mk). It needs to be re-jetted but makes the 4k go quite hard.

Yeah, its a 32/36, I've got one on mine, about all it does is drink petrol, and it sounds way meaner with the factory carb...
