Thumbs up I wanna mod my xr!!

Hey guys
About two monthes ago i upgraded to a '93 ed xr6.
VERY smart decision i might add!!
So far it has 8mm spark plug leads and a k&n panel air filter and an upgraded (bigger) cold air intake.

Anyone got any ideas on what would realy make it get up and haul a55?

Thanks all :gren:

if it's an auto, put a 5 speed in it. Shorter diff gears, full exhaust and a decent cam.

Question

It's a manual so thats covered and as far as the exaust goes i wouldn't mind putting extractors on it but it still has th original 2 into 1 pipe setup and i kinda wanted to keep it on the car as it is pretty rare to find one these days with it still on there because they are more expensive than a single system to replace.

Would a decent set of pacemakers make a big difference if i kept the original exaust on the car.

what about suspension?? I wouldn't mind lowering her an inch or 2 but i don't wanna destroy the ride quality or balance of the car.
cheers
