Check out the stickied threads at the top of this forum, such as this one:

That should give you a basic idea of where you can begin modifying, and with a little more research and checking out the DIY forum, you should get off to a great start, even on a budget.

The only thing you can do is weight reduction.

Car modification is not cheap and not free.

if you worked at a machine shop, you could mill the head but then you'd still have to buy the gaskets and so on.

run no air box
steal your neighbor's dryer tubing, remove headlight and run it direct to your open airbox
run open header
put the a6 intake manifold that you have sitting in your room
rip the balance shaft belt off
advance your timing
run two spare tires in the rear for less drag (might need to steal a 2nd one)
ditch powr steering and a/c.

might as well throw out the alternator and jsut run off your battery but make sure you have a good friend that can jump you everyday.
ditch everything in the car, dont even run seatbelts or clothes, it's too much weight.

deburr the entire block
fluff the ports and combution chambers
remove the 2nd compression ring for less drag but will need to be rebuilt every 200 miles
cut out coke cans for an egr block off plate

thats all i can think of right now

gut the int and use a plastic lawn chair for a seat.

Get rid of excess weight

Gut interior, take out audio speakers and head unit, remove A/C, and have the driver lose weight by exercising.

Go down the hill.......this is stupid tread
It's not easy make it faster with some money and I dont see how it's possible
to do that with out.
even cleaning and some minor maintanance will need money

Just proper maintenance will keep your car running "faster" too. It was a night and day difference doing a EGR port service on my engine. I could feel the car breathing better during acceleration. It was ridiculous how much gunk came out...it was like the engine had mucus in it's throat it couldn't get out.

You can drill out the ports yourself and plug the holes yourself with a heat resistant sealant if u don't want to buy the oem caps.

find a friend that has a cb or a parts shop

and make better friends

[Losiracer2]

have someone push you from behind. wow this thread is getting pointless lol. Who ask's these questions? of course you've gotta spend SOME money to get more power.....thats the conventional way of doing it at least. If you can't pay for mods how do you pay for gas? its pretty expensive tanking our cars up every 300-350 miles.

[led_fut]

the DIY airbox trick is great. almost as good as an aftermarket intake, and all you need are some spare washers/longer bolts.

and it sounds awesome.

you could unbolt your cat and bash it through with a broom handle, that might free up some ponies... not recommended for loudness and emissions

[xpressive]

diet! you can save money for real mods by doing that too!

[MikeW]

In all honesty, Weight reduction is probably the only "100% FREE" way to "go faster".

Assuming you have all the proper tools or know someone who does and will let you borrow them, free of charge.

Remove all unnecessary pieces of the vehicle. Backseat, reardeck, EVERYTHING in the trunk, rear door panels, centerconsoling, glovebox door.....

Passenger seat???
Trunk Lid???
Sell Alloy Wheels(if equipped) for steelies???
Passenger Door Panel
Windshield Wipers???
Passenger Side Mirror???
Headliner
Carpet
AC/PS/CC

What you could do is, remove all the above items and sell them. Take what you get from that and buy other things like lexan windows and lighter seats.

Other than that, unless you own the machinery needed to do heavy engine work....thats about it.
