Free/Cheap things to do to any car
just make sure everything is in "top-notch" condition.  
   Clean intake tubes (I used alchohol for the long one and carb cleaner for the small ones).  
      Clean pcv tubing. clean throttle body. make sure throttle plate opens fully when pedal is fully depressed (make sure to actually have somebody depress the pedal not just pull up on the cable)
     Replace/check plugs, wires, cap, rotor
     Get some intake tract cleaner and run it in through a vacuum hose to clean intake manifold.
     Replace air filter either with a k+n or a oem.
    change all lubricants (incl. trans and diff)
    If needed (look at color, should be flourescent green) flush radiator
    Check/replace belts
    Use fuel system treatment type that cleans injectors (not sure if these really work, but its worth a try)
I know I'm missing some but you get the idea.
