I'm hereby establishing the poor man's upgrade section. Consider this the place to be if you want to up performence for less than a hundred bucks per item. Do-it-yourself upgrades are fair game too. Here's the basic upgrades I've used that cost very little:

K&N Air Filter. Not a massive power adder, but for $50 it's not half bad. Also slightly improves mileage.

NGK Iridium Sparks. Again pulling in at a classy $50, these ones, in my humble opinion, do a much better job at burning than the stock plugs. You can expect a little more power and a little better mileage, and much better throttle response.

MSD Distributor. I've found a number of used ones for $50 dollars, and down in the US a new one for the Fiero retails at $90 (just across the border in Sumas, at the NAPA right near the border). Like the Spark Plugs, except mild performence, mileage and throttle response increases.

MSD Super-Red or NAPA Premium Blue Wires. At $50 for a set, these wires simply eliminate the weak point in the ignition system, the wires, by using super-conductor wires. Same result as the above two.

High Quality Ignition Coil. Sadly I've forgotten it's name, but if you phone NAPA for the Fiero high performence coil, they'll present you with a $80 product which is also slightly better for power and mileage.

Sadly these are the only cheap tricks I know, please share your own ideas too!
