get some basic performance upgrades...intake, header, exhaust system... make sure ur head gasket is ok...for quick power...you might want to look into nitrous...though i dont use it because i dont believe in temporary power haha

ya those sound good ill probably start out with an intake and exhaust like you guys said. and we'll see where to go from there, depending on the money i have.

moneys always an issue

yes. money is always an issue. i started with an exhaust, and the intake. then spent some money on new performance tires. now im getting some headers, and maybe changing the cat converter. but everything is done in gradual steps. i just wish i would win the lottery and then i can bring my car to a local ricer shop and say "supe it up". hahaha

Ya i know what your saying about the lottery ive always wished that too. but anyways considering the fact that ive never put on aftermarket exhaust or intake if i was to put these on am i really going to feel a difference in power or are they mostly for looks? Oh ya one more question, considering that my supra is a non turbo could i put a turbo exhaust and downpipe on or will it not fit. i know these are dumb questions but i need all the help i can get. Thanks

First things first!!! Check and replace as needed...ALL the hoses and belts. Timing belt??? when was last change??
ALL the fluids !!!! Radiator cap and thermostat. Any funky looking electrical connectors and wires. Battery terminals?? Clean??

Brakes...brakes....it don't matter how it runs, if it won't stop !!!

Front end parts, and alignment.

Radiator??

All of this so you can DRIVE the car without the help of a tow truck !!!

Well...you start your own thread !! Or you check this forum, or all the others, for their 'performance upgrade' sections.

Or...sell it and find a YUGO !!!!

all those upgrades are good. but no one mentioned cam-gears. you can get about 25-35 more hp and im not sure how much torque for upgrading these. also getting new underdrive pulleys is a big deal. if i am correct for every pound or so you lose on the underdrive pulleys you gain about 1.5-2.5 hp. i upgraded my pulleys on my 1992 non-turbo supra and i can feel the difference.
