If you ever plan on getting any money out of it then limit your mods to the
barest. Leave the transmission alone.

Adjustable coilovers might be your better bet as you can obviously just
lower it a lot or a little.

Lower series tires such as a 50 series with the appropriate wheel, perhaps a
17" and the coil overs will help a ton. Of course you start sacrificing
ride quality as you lower the car and the profile of the tires.

Leave the stupid ass coffee can mufflers on the shelf. They are annoying to
others, don't produce an increase in horsepower in proportion to the sound
of the exhaust, and helps the cops to locate the cars that they should be
pulling over and harrassing.

I am sure there are a few reinforcing strut bars for the front and rear
along with some under the car stiffener items. These are really just a
bolt on item.

I can't answer your other questions.
