Ha well done, good choice for a first car. What model, 4 or 6 cyl auto or manual?
As Cortys have a fair bit of power standard. I would do all the brakes and bushes. Maybe new shocks if they are not to healthy. Even steering bushes in rack and coupling.
From there a set of extractors 2" ehaust even a 2.5 if ya dont mind it a bit noisy and if its a 6 cyl a weber carby from a xe/xf falcon.
Use a redline manifold to fit the weber carby. It will give better fuel econ and power.
Got any pics of it?

Cheers Brad
