No such thing as a cheap mod, you get what you pay for.

Best bang for buck IMO would be replacing the cat with a downpipe.

Cheapest mod you could do is get one of those shithouse HKS knock off filters for like $40, plus a afm adaptor. Probably wont make 3/8ths of $&#$% difference powerwise, and wont filter all that well but hey, you'll have cool induction noise.

I think it would be really good to make one rear wheel drive only. Simple, cheap and if you alter your rear camber drastically, double the rear spring rate it should make a good glide car, and make an excellent road car (if you remove the rear springs)
