From the thread at the forum, the guy is running a crazy set-up that enables him to do some very ultra-lean burn, using special plugs, cams and a fully programmable EFI.

You're not going to get that within a budget, not the kind of budget you'd throw at a daily beater... and in that state of tune, I doubt it'd pass NOx regulations.

Work on your current car. If you have the 2.0 with the manual, you can swap out fifth for an old 626 gear for some extra reach, and get taller tires. You can even chip it for more power and extra lean burn, if the idea of a special map to enable ultra-lean cruising is enticing, this is possible. The 2.0 is very resistant to detonation.
