No offense, but $75 doesn't go very far towards 'spoiling' an SVX.
Still, I guess if I had to pick something, I'd go for some new platinum plugs (I think you can get non-NGK platinum plugs for pretty cheap), belts and a PCV valve.
You could spend about $40 on a K&N filter, but your plugs have probably never been changed. They're designed to go 100k miles. Admittedly, I replaced mine at 130k miles and they looked pretty damned good, but I shouldn't have waited that long. Yes, they are a total pain in the ass to replace. You can search the forums and likely find dozens of tips on the process.
