   you can get aftermarket inlets but they are big bucks
   
   nothing else to do really if you dont want cams or boost.

   it would make a differnce but not loads, it will also upset your handling as the rear will raise up slightly. also think of everyday driving its loud as fook and can be annoying on long journeys. mines totally stripped and i cant see myself putting it back together, depends how far you go with it.
   have a look at a decent suspension and brake setup, this is what you wanna be looking at

   If im correct for every 10lbs of weight u lose off your car you get 1 bhp,
   
   So losing interior, sparewheel and that should get you a few bhp

   about a grand mate. wont alter reliability, if its set up well ideling will be fine.
   expected bhp around 155-160.
