Induction kit (cold air intake)
Exhaust manifold
Large bore exhaust
Max 16 alloys
High tension performance leads, performance plugs, Possibly new distributer to suit.
Lowering springs wont do anything for speed just better handling.
Fuel additive.
Nothing much else other than buy a 1.6SRi engine and convert over but this is a big job as the wiring loom needs changing not to mention ECU etc.
I modded mine but i killed it so i bought a 1.8 diesel focus, let the tuning begin!!!
Anyways, hope this helps mate.
