I have one of those exact cars myself. Is it totally original stock? I still enjoying running mine around a nice big parking lot.

That sirio will make that car fly! If you are trying to learn on the stock mill with that single needle carb, it is going to frustrate the hell out of you. That stock carb is junk. If you really want to use the stock mill right now, you may want to change out the carb, an OS 10 e carb is a real nice choice but finding one is going to be tough.
Well since you bought a new engine already, (that sirio will make that car fly!) I would suggest a one piece tuned pipe, like either the THS racing tuned pipe, or RD Logics pipe, or the two speed tranny next, you're really going to want to replace both.
The carbon fiber upper deck and sway bar kit really helped the handling on mine a lot. But with the carbon upper deck you will also need a flat receiver battery pack.
