this was really made for people that arent capable of clicking the search button. you now have no excuses.
there are plenty of mods on offer for the ka24e if you wish to put the hard yards in and do some research. mods you will find on the internet range from lame thru to decent and then farily hardcore. also dont limit your searches to the online shopping sections of websites. put in a little more effort. use the phone book, use google (or your preferred search engine), talk to people, go to the library, not everything is done for you all the time.
before you startwhen you are modding your pintara, stanza or corsair, a good first stop is this thread here:
http://www.antrx.com/smf/index.php?board=20;action=display;threadid=1373;start=0#msg13581this thread is a brief run thru on the basic steps of modifying your u12
when I mentioned mods above ranging from lame to hardcore, an example of lame = electric superchargers. dont let anyone convince you these are any good. they sound good in theory, but if you are going to opt for forced induction, do it properly, dont waste your time or your money with these things.
http://www.teamnse.com/forum/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=700701138autospeed also has a fantastic article on electric superchargers which will help you to understand exactly why they are a waste of your time and money. This article can be found here:
http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_0237/article.htmlexhausts, hi-flow cat converters, extractors and cold air intakesthese mods are definately worth your time, and as you'll see in the "beginners guide to modding..." thread you will see that things like exhaust & intake mods are the building blocks for a great car.
exhaust modshttp://www.teamnse.com/forum/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=700377 - for the most part, this thread really only talks about mufflers. but mufflers are just as important as the rest of your exhaust. Your choice of muffler will effect the overall flow of the exhaust gasses, but they will also dictate the note of your exhaust and how loud it will be.

agressive cams and fuel managementonce you've covered breathing mods, you will want to start to look at cams and/or fuel management. if you're going to go turbo, its probably best that until you have your turbo package sorted out, installed and running, you should leave your camshaft as stock.

fuel management (chips, piggyback and stand alone)below is a list of threads with information on all kinds of fuel management. dont even bother with things like the apexi power fc, as they're a complete waste of time and a complete waste of your money. if you think the apexi power fc is for you, maybe you should spend your money a little wiser & buy something like a uni chip.
