There is no really 'cheap' way to make your engine perform better. Like any car the more $$$ you sink into it, the better it will go. The cheapest engine mods I can think of is extractors and a 1 3/4 - 2 inch exhaust, Webber carb conversion, and a mild cam. As for nudge bars, do a search and look through the members section and you should find something you like. Comercial bars are generally too expensive.

If you have larger than stock tyres, the best way to improve engine performance will be to get the gearing right.

One point six. :D (conversion) cheaper than trying to extract heaps of power and torque from a 1.3
