Do you live in a rather warm region?
Blocking the throttle heater might be something to start with.

look around the forum. A rear sway bar is a popular mod to get the car handling better, and lighter wheels and tires are all car enthusiasts first mod because they help the car do everything better.

Easy free tip just try this. Take out your rear seats, spare tire any extra weight. You will feel a difference. DO IT.
