Bolt-on engine upgrades for a beginner?
Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right community or not, but I wanted to ask about simple, begginer bolt-on engine upgrading. A CAI comes to mind, but I wanted to see what else I could do. I’m on a kinda tight budget since I’m in high school and no one in my town wants to hire. I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan with a 1.5l 1NZ-FE engine making 109hp stock. Slow car, I know, but that’s why I want to make it faster. Handling upgrades are also welcome, although I am pretty content with it’s (nice) handling.

strut bars and some lowering springs… Mind the LOWERING springs, not slammed or anything just lower it like an inch or so and the cornering will be much better :) i lowered my civic like 3 cm (1.18 inch) and it looks nicer and more important, handling and cornering is way better than before
In the end it’s a Toyota Yaris. I’d save your money for something more special once you graduate high school and start making money.
strut bars should be pretty easy
