Your main options are:
1. learn how to control your car through proper use of the accelerator (gas pedal) and clutch
2. fit an aftermarket traction control system, preferably one with launch control

You could alternatively attempt to fit a traction control system intended for another car, such as scrapped parts from an IS200, earlier or later gen or a Supra. But unless you really do your research you could end up making things worse rather than better going this route.
