put 50 horses in front of your car and tie them all in a line....or do what everyone else is doing--->swap or custom supercharge, turbo, and lastly, save the money and buy a turbo'ed car

Seriously dude if you have a 7a now and you wanna add horses it's REALLY easy for you. Just add a turbo/SC [already mentioned] but you want MY opinion [Been down the road and back again] SWAP THAT MF - you'll be doin' backflips and wondering if chicks are really all that - seriously

Take a dremel and carve the ports out like the grand canyon. Probably wont help all that much but at least you'll be looking in the right area( I think it has more to do with vavle angle(why our motors are crap) than port size)

STs are super fun to drive around corners. I love it. If i were you, i'd focus on suspension. strut bar, sway bar, endlinks, springs or coil overs, some grippy tires.

Lowering springs and coil-overs are good provided you have decent seats. My seats suck and my back no like it.

I love driving it anywhere. And my seats are decent except the back seats are cracked from the sun. I'm trying to find new wheels and tires. I want the rim to fit flush with the body.
And my car rides and drives great, and for only $800 hell can't beat it! |

Depending on where in the U.S. you can do whatever you want as long as it passes emissions. Even better are places like where I live they don't even inspect your car, and could care less about what you do with it. The Celica handles well, it's the one thing it has going for it.

Forget the turbo which costs a lot of money. Just get a leaf blower and attach it to your intake. Then when you want power go out to your engine and pull and pull until it kicks on, set it to MAX POWA and BAM Instant 10-20 HP!

Maybe he has cool parents. I'd totally slap a giant turbo onto my inexperienced son's car.

Well there are two ways to increase the performance of your car, adding performance parts or ditching useless weight. Seeing as how parts cost money but filling the garage/dumpster is free, well you get the idea...
