Well i mean there's so many little things that most people aren't aware of to make your car faster, but i don't know what you have done to the car, how fast you go right now, can you post a mods list?

you'll need to post the rules list from the track so we know what rules you have to follow

For the Corrola:
1.Rebuild your engine. if it from '79 it is probably dirty as hell and your losing about 20hp or more.

2.Change the air filter.

3.New exhast system (if you still make the stock exhast) or clean it out the old one... you can do it yourself if you have the tools and some cleaner.

If you have the tools you can rebuid the engine by yourself. these 3 thing will cost about $50 at the most for a air filter, cleaner and some rags. There is a ton of more things you can do that I couldn't even think of but i bet someone else can.
