Quick power up plan ! Cheap? easy ? Efficient ?

Hi lads
I wanted to know what are you thoughts about those mods combined mods:


-First a full servicing of all fluids, sparks and filters, I already got everything, only have to buy 3L of gearbox oil. ~30eur going this afternoon ✔

Then:
-brake upgrade: pads and discs that I already bought for the 1.0 but sold it before ~0eur at home ✔
-slightly advancing ignition timing at 17 with a stromboscopic light gun ~30eur ordered ✔
-new O2 lambda ~ 50eur ordered ✔
- 35mm lowering + Noddie adjustable panhard rod ~ 150eur
- buy an used first cat and empty it (so I can fit mine back for MOT) + frank custom manifold + bigger downpipe ~150eur
- fit back Almera N15 airbox I had on the 1.0 ~0eur at home ✔


Total is about 350-400EUR. Do you think it's worthy?

The service and lambda sensor will probably help, the brakes and lowering won't make any power, the other mods might make things worse.

Good plan IMO. Servicing is a must and the other things do help noticeably! You do not the engine as such, just let it breathe... it might go a bit lean in the 4k rpm range... I disconnected the 02 sensor in mine and it has a nice strong powerband for now..
