Best thing you can do, and what I'd suggest doing first is upgrade suspension and brakes.

+1. Start with this and live with the power you have for now until you can upgrade power properly. Then when the time comes to upgrade power, your brakes and suspension is setup to take it

You won't get much out of the Z18 without having to fit forced induction and aftermarket ECU or big cams and individual throttle bodies. However, little things like de-restricting the airbox and fitting a Vectra C diesel intake pipe will slightly improve throttle response along with a decent panel filter.

Oh and decent servicing helps too. Use a good quality oil and filter, as well as new plugs if you need them. Also, Z18 engines need the throttle body cleaned on a regular basis, as they're prone to building up crud around the butterfly that will make it run like a bag of crap.
