aem intake
megan header
lightweight pulleys
bigger tb ( wouldnt go over 65mm)
P&P IM
headwork
lightweight rims
better brakes ( all that go and no whoa makes no sense)
stiffer suspension ( yes, it will help in the twisties)
auto to manual swap
weight reduction
this is the list that i have done, except for the last. yes, i am autotragic but have all the components to switch over. time and money is all that stops me. weight reduction to me means nothing to me as the car is fast enough for me...for now.

^ He said hes got a 5-speed.
Dont worry about that 240sx, no threat there.
Did any one say short shifter yet?
Ark short shifter FTW! That and some good tranny fluid, youll be chirpin and barking tires.

Tb=throtle body
as for weight reduction you could remove the sound deadening,spare tire and other associated tire changing parts. Nitrogen filled tires are 25% lighter then air filled per wheel,which is one full tire weight off the rotational mass. You could also get some lighter wheels,lighter lug nuts(not a big difference but still),lighter fly wheel.
And keep the stereo to a minimum will help also.

The Megan equal length header is a very nice piece of equipment. Great power, and no exhaust "buzz" like you get with the cheaper thin steel OBX headers on ebay and such.

4-1 and far better made than you will find anywheres else.
325 shipped is a steal from blacktibs for all of that. butthead made me do 300 just for the header alone.
