N33b 6gen owner, 94' GT stock, modding recommendations Options

[king_wsk]

Hello all. I just purchased a stock 94 GT with 120k for $3,500 this past weekend. It's my first 5 speed, so i've been driving really slow, learning slowly. My last car was a 96' nissan sentra GXE stock, so my new celica has really amazed me. I'm 22 years old, a Cal Poly Pomona computer science senior.

When it comes to cars, I've changed my head gasket, oil, spark plugs, exhaust manifold, and starter, but thats about it; definetly not very car savy. Anways my real question is what mods would you pros recommend for a poor college student? I also would like to avoid mods that might decrease the longitivity of my ride, since it's gota last me at least 4 years until I graduate from grad school.

I was thinking maybe a CIA, an ECU, white halogen headlights, maybe an exhaust system. Some recommended to me venom and jetchip. I'm looking to gain a few hp and at some style.

I'm looking forward to finally being able to outrun those damn pesky civics.

Any feedback would be greatly appricated.

macavely, when did we start being named Celican?? anyway, from what i think, a DIY CAI would be good, if you think exhaust systems are too expensive, go for straight pipe and a good muffler like apexi, magnaflow, tanabe etc... lowering springs and suspension techniques sway bar are good too. welcome to the site
