My 86 is stock as hell and I'm generally a minimalist, but my mates are picking up some cars with serious competition and we may go to a track day soon, some of them driving the new Golf R Mark 7. Now I've been a Japanese fan since I've been little and I thoroughly believe my 86 baby can catch up with some mods.
Currently I'm considering doing these mods for performance gains (I heard they even help shed a 0-60mph/0-100kmph from 7 sec to 5.5)
- Tires (Bridgestone Potenzas)
- Wheels, possibly something nice and light
- ECU
- Full exhaust
- Coils
Any recommendations of mods or brands would be helpful, or any other tips on increasing power
Also if I do go ahead with the ECU I'm seriously considering e85 but I want it to be practical so I don't have to carry a Jerry can with me

None of those upgrade with give you more actual power,but to free up more power,so to speak,the first thing that should be upgraded is intake and exhaust.
Suspension,lighter wheels and wider tires definitely won't give you more power,but they will make you quicker,that is if you know how to drive.
I don't know what your definition of "cheap" is,but all of these upgrades together can get pretty pricey.The only "real" way to actually increase power is to either drop a new motor in it,or go turbo/supercharger.
