Some time since I tuned anything but as far as I recall the following was standard practice for a car:-
Fluffy dice hanging off the rear view mirror, Go faster stripes down the sides , Peco exhaust booster, Spacers behind the wheels to make them stick out a bit, mix up the macdonalds wrappers in the footwells & remove the wimpey ones,spray some dark spray on the windows so you cannot see in (or out), lower the suspension so tyres rub on the wheel arches when turning corners. If you had any dough then stick on mag ally look a likes to the wheels, Leather steering wheel cover, rake back the driving seat so much that you are almost laying down, Hand holds over the rear windows ( to hook girlfriends feet in) Tracey & Steve sticker along the front windscreen (changed weekly) Couple of drops of castrol R in the fuel to make a smell, White roundals on the doors, preferably with castrol emblem on one edge, never clean the car & just use wipers to clean the windows so it looks like you are straight off a rally, stick on bullet holes in the rear windows, & finally a tigers tail hanging out of the tank.
If you were real flash & had an old mini then cut the roof down so you could not get in it & grind all the guttering off. If you had a 105E cause your dad had dough, the fit a lotus twin cam & wide wheels, lower the suspension etc
All standard student go faster tuning tricks when i was a lad designed to make the 100E look quick Speed was irrelevant pulling the crumpet was the aim

I did this, but I now realise it would have been better to demonstrate my dexterity in the back seat rather than buy a tiger for my tank etc.!
