How much u got to spend?

1) Weber, adapter and decent air filter can be had for around $150

2) Extractors and some minor exhaust work for around $200-300

3) Electronic ignition for a little more poke and reliability. Rodeo elec ignition wires up straight away. Just bypass the ballast.

So for around $500 you can have a bunch of useful and useable mods which will make a big difference.

Don't bother doing any wanky visual rice boy mods. You'll get laughed at by the Hyundai boys with their plastic bits, especially considering a stock Lancer or Hyundai will blow a stock Gemini into the weeds.
