Still in the planning stages but the overall goal is to significantly increase both the performance on the track and (if possible) the mileage under normal 'driving to work' road conditions (shooting for 45-50mpg). It's my daily driver currently so let's hope I don't leave a piston wiggling in the road while I'm doing this.

Mods are marked as planned or purchased. If the mods don't have any specifics they're not researched yet.

Any advice or comments are welcome.

Planned:
- Some sort of air - HKS supercharger ( [url]http://www.crzforum.com/forum/engine-battery-discussion/4118-new-hks-supercharger-finally-released.html[/url]) ? Bismoto Turbo ( [url]http://www.crzforum.com/forum/aftermarket-crowd/6974-bisimoto-turbo-kit-5-050-a.html[/url]) ? Mugen? Not sure yet...
