Nice little base motor there mate, I would take the advise of those on here and avoid the cheap tacky mods, ie neons, lexus lenses, seat covers etc.
Spend the cash on getting the handling sorted and have it sitting a bit lower and firmer, will make for more fun in the twisties. Get the bodywork polished up, nice little back box on it and see if you can source some cheap recaro's.
Better to hold off and save up for decent bits than rush out and buy trinkets, we have all been their mate so any suggestions are just from experience.
Good luck with it, would be great if memebers have any bits they can send your way to help you with the project!
