You could open the doors when you are going down wind or tuck down behind the steering wheel when going into the wind........hehehe
no seriously: extractors and exhaust is good bang for buck.

get things in this order... first fix up any problems with it and give it full service then, catback exhaust, extractors, convert to manual if it isnt already, aftermarket cam (wade probably best value for $$) ... and then you should be pretty happy

kostecki in perth do full engine rebuilds in stages eg:stage 1-3 street engine...stage 1-3 race engine..all come with a new billet hydro camshaft(roller rockers are extra)
Personally for u id do the stage one street engine Ill give you the details

billet camshaft
blueprinted
new rings,water plugs,oil pump..etc

Anyhoo the stage 1 engine rebuild is just over 3 grand i think(mind you with the roller rockers and extra port work (cnc)maybe just over 4 grand sounds pretty good i reckon
