not much without spending alot of cash, such as bored out to 1650cc.
spend the extra bit on getting it tuned properly, and some decent oil ;)

I heard that using the four branch manifold can actually reduce performance on normal road cars, or even in the best case - make the car sound like there is a leak in the system at the front of the car. Increasing the bore on such a small engine sounds like a waste of money to me, I doubt you'll get much BHP per ???.

The next thing I would think of doing would be to add nitrous to the car. (I think it may be illegal to arm it on public roads though) You can get a kit for around ?500 or you can try and make one up yourself. Just do a google search for instructions ;)
