if you want more power... depends on your budget

Lexmaul RAM Induction
Fast-Road Cams
headwork (port & polish)
ARP rod bolts
ECU Upgrade (Dastek Unichip) with RPM Limit raised
Decat
4-2-1 Manifold
Full exhaust system...

few other bits here & there...

should be good for 130-140bhp...

Or go full-whack & do throttle-bodies for 160bhp+ easy with uprated internals tho so it doesnt chew itself to death...

gooday liz, where in oz you from, i spent 8 months there in 2004!!

getting tuning parts may be a hassle for you as you will need to get them from the uk.
Get a good stainless exhaust system and a good panel air filter or indcution kit.

Then a lexmaul inlet manifold and a unichip would be what i would go for next.

hope that helps
