This was my car for about ten years. It's NA 1.3 litre engine.
Things I did to it:
Silicone hoses for the whole cooling system.
Swapped steel pulleys for adonized aluminum.
Stage 1 Exedy clutch. Outside of the straight drive good luck stealing it at this point.
New K&N intake.
All lights minus headlights were converted to LED. Side markers, the orange shits in the picture were replaced with clear lenses and bulbs that would only show their color when lit.
Lowered it by 1.5" using performance springs.
Tightened up the handling with agency power sway bars and end links for suspension.
Seafoam every 5k with the oil change.
Only 93 octane.
My high brake light had a mask on it that illuminated STOP.
Yes. Less mass. Equals a higher RPM throttle response. I need the rotors to run as free as possible. Taking weight off the engine was my goal. Turbo or supercharger was a no go.

Why? Less mass? If so, why bother with anodized parts? Everyone had anodized aftermarket crap on their cars and bikes in the early-mid '00s.
