The things you should look at doing are basic servicing items, it is at least in the state it was designed to operate it. New spark plugs are about $3 each (so about $12 a set), new oil should cost you in the order of $30-$40 and an oil filter should be about $10. Also one thing to pay particular attention to on these motors is running good, uncontaminated coolant, and making sure the radiator, etc are all in good nick. A good way to check the general condition of your cooling system is to take the top radiator hose off the engine - if this is corroded then you could be up for a replacement engine, but if not then keep good coolant in it and it will go forever Performance wise you may wish to fit an exhaust and extractors - probably some 4-2-1's and a 2Œ" or 2œ" exhaust from there back. Maybe run some colder spark plugs, good fuel (eg. Ultimate, Optimax) and crank the timing a few extra degrees... but you'll barely notice it and the thing will sound just plain ordinary. It'll also cost hundreds of dollars and will amke your car hard to insure [Report message to a moderator]
