I just purchased my 95' celica st about a month ago. It has about 150k on the engine. I just put in a weapon r intake about a week ago. Now, I can't decide what to do next. I was thinking getting a cat-back, or maybe a header, or possibly put front/rear sway bars in. I am planning to do autox this summer. Mind you I graduate high school next year. So I am not exactly full of money. What do you think is the best thing to do in my situation? I know a engine swap is in my mind, but not for another year. I've looked around on forums and really havn't found much.

Well, bolt on mods such as headers, intake, exhaust don't really do much on our cars. You'll probably get like a max 10-15hp out of those 3 altogether. But sway bars, strut bars, and upgrade your suspension, and tires would be a good essential if you're considering Auto X and if you want, you could get some pillowball strut mounts.
Oh and also invest in some Twos R'Us ST185 (5th gen celica) sway bar end links. Those work miracles for handling.
