Default Cheap and easy mods

I already did some research online and got little results.

I could use some suggestions, I just bought the car.

There's no magical mod on these for $50 or $100 that will net you any significant power increases. That being said, telling us a little about your car might help. Year, engine, transmission. An 88 is much different from a 92.

Honestly? Confirm your car is at least close to factory-spec before adding on aftermarket stuff. It's nearing or over 30 years old (not sure on your model), there's plenty of stuff that won't throw codes yet will make it run/handle like absolute garbage, no matter how much other stuff you throw on it (see: suspension bushings, Opti cap/rotor condition (if LTx), cooling system, TIRES, etc.) I've had my 96 for a year now, and have still been finding random maintenance items to fix that have made the car so much nicer to drive.
