   VTR I assume?
   
   Cam/ECU is the next logical step most people go for.

   106 rallye inlet manifold is a good option and making sure you have a good cat back system is pretty vital as well as the standard system is full of restrictions. other than that 285'' cams and a remap are the way forward!

   Not exactly engine performance but a decent set of brakes gets you from A - B quicker. I hate poo brakes.
   
   If you got standard vtr wheels, whack on some 206 gti calipers, half decent discs and pads and your onto a winnaaaa

   How about Strip the car? Free mod and can make a differnce if enough weight is taken off.
   
   Passenger seat, Rear bech, carpet, sound deadening, door cars. Etc...Etc...

   get all uneeded weight out of it
   it works quite well
   
   makes it a tad skittish under breaking sometimes though

    bigger brakes make an amazing difference to performance.
    you can do it for about a ton if you are 266'in it.
