Sticking with your vehicle...pumped up tires, grill block, 195f thermostat if it doesn't have one...block heater if you're in a cold enough environment. Or park it in an enclosed/slightly warmer garage. Oh and if you haven't already, tailor your driving style to minimize braking and accelerating. Make sure you have the lightest wheels/tires on it as reasonably possible.
And make sure your car is in tip-top running shape. Advance timing if possible without causing pinging. Put on a warm/hot air intake. If you want to continue from there, it's aero mods and/or more complex work.

I've looked into those. Quite pricey in my area and cant really justify spending 4k plus on one which is the going rate in my area. For that amount of money id rather buy an mk4 tdi jetta. Good mpg with luxury and comfort. But that also is something i cant really justify buying. Good cars dont get me wrong, just too much for me to spend at the moment.
