First make sure it is mechanically sound. New plugs, wires, rotor and cap. Check the air filter. Just a plain old K&N is going to cost at least $40.00. Check for leaks, oil or water. Take a compression test to see what kind of shape the engine is in. Change the oil and filter regularly.


As for suspension, check the shocks and make sure the tire wear is even. Bolts have been know to fall off of these cars from time to time so make sure all the rack bolts are still there along with the sway bar mounts.

Just getting rid of that big muffler at the end and replacing it with a free flowing muffler helps some. You don't really need anything but the cat converter and the rear muffler. Bigger sway bars and better shocks really help the car handle better.

There are a lot of things you can do to make it more a car of your personal tastes, but stick to the basics first then go with handling. Make sure it is going to last, then start checking ebay for some stuff you might want,

Good luck
