I have a flossy shift knob and I think that might definitely have to be on the list.

If you're not going to track or even autocross on any occasion, then I'd just call it a day and add a rear exhaust to the car... Otherwise nothing really comes close to the benefits of the 'driver mod' and also better understanding the hidden talents of this car that need no modification whatsoever.

Good luck with your call.

Good set of wheels and tires. Will help in performance (cornering and reduced rotational mass) and appearance.

I would say tires, but how much are you looking to spend?

Seriously, though, based on what many are saying, the very first thing I'd do would be brake fluid upgrade. People say consistently that the brakes in these cars overheat easily. After that, brake pads.

edit: Ichi, love the vid!

I swapped my brake fluid out with Motul RBF 600 and took her out to the track, no brake fade what so ever. Best 60 bucks ever. While your in there might as well swap out your clutch fluid too.

A fat wing big enough to balance the car out :P

When I say fat I mean FAT FAT FAT. Like this...

or make sure you add a huge exhaust to make sure you get enough power for those times when you gotta use nos

I agree with driver training! Learn to get the most out of your car. I still stand by my wheels and tires suggestion, though...one of the best overall single modifications you can make

Exhaust.
