just bought a 2010 Corolla s with 227000kms (141000 miles), anything in particular I should do, what mods can I do to make it more fuel efficient, faster or handle better

You can turbocharge it with the kit from Tyrbokits.com like I did. A nice 100 HP bump in power but I still get around the same MPG when I don;t have my foot into it. there are plenty of suspension improvements you can do also.

For handling get the "TRD Sway Bar" and the "TRD Strut Brace", they're OEM parts and you can order them directly from Toyota or a dealership. I believe that stock sway bar is 20mm and the TRD is 27mm thick. I was doing research and came across multiple people saying they help a lot. I ordered them and I get mine on Wednesday so I'll find out how much better they are when I get them. FYI rear sway bar requires 180lbs torque so make sure you have one that goes that high, know somebody who has one, a place you can rent one from or a local shop that can tighten it for you.
