just do an exhaust - (extractors and bigger pipe), and maybe a pod filter. prob cost your round 2-300 depending on where you go. apart from that much not much can get done for cheap. If your guna keep the car see if you can hunt down a supercharged 3.8L motor and swap the gear over Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
