It's a waste of money for a 2000 Accent.

Simple things such as new spark plugs, change to synthetic oil, etc. If you're looking for more speed, you can also remove extra weight from the car. But all of these things will have a minimal effect.

Best thing for an older car such as yours is just to look after it and keep it well serviced with regular oil and filter changes.
