by safe to you mean legally safe, or just safe for your car?
none of these mods are gona make your ride amazing or anything, but they do work for a couple horsies, and will definetly make your ride more enjoyable over stock with the nice sounds.
take off every little bit of weight you can off, seats, dash, even buttons and wires that arent required to drive, cut metal frame that wont compromise the structural integrity of the car... or if you still want girls to want to ride in it take everything out the trunk, spare tire, lining, and possibly the back seats. I took out everything from the front seats back, and couple things under the hood and it added up to 200lbs so even when im sitting in it its 25lbs under stock.
go to the junk yard and pick up a set of non-power seats.. you may have to weld the tracks in.. but they weigh alot.. im not sure but just by picking them up ours feels like atleast 100lbs
Put a cold air intake on it
go highflow exhaust or be cheap and gut the cat and the muffler.
disable both pcv hoses with breathers and egr system with a solid gasket cut out of a soda can to get cleaner burning air, you wouldnt be very efficiant if you ate stuff that came out your rear end would you? You can also just throw a BB or somthing small enough to block the hose but not small enough to get sucked through the system but you'll get a check engine light.
plug the FPR hose.. this will give you full fuel pressure.. i've heard this can help but i doubt it would help on a stock engine, its basically to tie together other mods. a adjustable FPR would be much better.
just look at the mods in my tag... all cheap low budget crap but they do work for small gains, you car will stink and give everyone cancer though...
basically, if you dont want to get into major spending or serious racing mods all you can really do it make the engine breath easier and cleaner, make it lighter and tune the fuel to compensate..
you could probably fart in the gas tank and think you gained 50hp after driving that saturn long enough.
