Sell it and buy a faster car.

It's the cheapest, easiest, safest, and least time consuming performance upgrade you can do.

In my day it was ... Air filter, straight through wide bore exhaust, and ECU remapping. That got you 10 to 20pc more power. Now if you start at 100hp and go to 120 then that's not much of a gain.

If you had a turbo car then replacing a few valves and putting a bigger intercooler gave you more scope for remapping and performance gains. Good example was my brother's mitsubishi colt turbo. 160hp 970kg car. He got that running at nearly 300hp. One of the fastest cars on the road at the time. So long as the road was dry. Bit of a sleeper.

 

As for your Auris I wouldn't bother to be honest. You won't really notice the mods much and you'll be thousands of pounds down. As the other poster said, just get a faster car, like a Fiesta ST. 

 

I drive the RAV4 PHEV which is just perfect as I needed an AWD SUV that was super cheap on company car tax (I basically got a third off the price). Side benefits are it costs me next to nothing to run (54 mile EV range at the moment) and the 306hp DIN of mostly all electric AWD torque means I'm at 60 in 5.5sec and going from 50 to 70 is faster than a supra. Feels almost instant going from 70 to 100 too which is honestly a big problem. Point here is there are a lot of standard unmodified mass produced sleepers on the road so tickling with a few extra hp and stiffer ride doesn't really make any odds.

If you want to go fast, you don't need power, decent tyres, uprated and lowered suspension (not coilovers) then on to uprated brakes

Are you just looking for performance mods, or styling mods too?
