   Strip it. Doesnt cost anything!
   
   And if you dont want to spend alot, get a panal filter. Thats what i got from Kam the other day. Fit it in minutes, not knee trembling performance but throttle response seems quicker.

   xsi gear box, green cold air ram ind kit, piper manifold(decat), piper system, piper 272 cam (actualy about 260 so no need for a remap) piper cam pulley and a good service.

   cheapest way to speed a saxo up is put it on a diet really... take a hammer to the windows, remove seatbels/wheels. that kind of stuff
   
   
   in short though, theres no real way to speed them up without spending money!

    Search. Though your new so ill let you off.
    Breather Mods Come First Normaly ( E.g. Uprated Exhausts/Induction Kits).
    4-2-1 Man Is the best thing you can do realy out of them. Obv Getting DeCat, Performance Exhaust & Indution is going to help.
