the obvious ones r k & n filter, exhaust, but you could buy the 32/34 twin choke weber carb. this gives a fair hike in performance and is only a couple hundred quid brand new. you could probably get one second hand which would be even cheaper again.

Ya i agree you could also get a high lift cam shaft from courtney for ?175. Thit might give ya 10nhp increase if ya cot ya carb and exhaust + filter. U could alwyas have ur cylinder head done. Give courtney ?488 and they will mod ur cyclinder head and this will give you a 15% power increase. Weber twin 40's or throttle bodies u might get ur cars performance upto 115bph with ?2000. Font 4get if u dont declare ur stuff on the insurance and u kill sum1 u will get put in jail man when they find uve been tryin to make it go faster. Make sure if u upgrade the performance u also do the brakes 2 otherwise u will prb kill urself!

Do the cylinder head yourself, get it ported, polished and skimmed.
Look in the work shop manual how to do it.
