i am not completly new to imports but i am new to celicas. right now my car is stock exept for a cold air intake. on other cars the first thing i did was upgrade the distributor, plugs, wires, injectors.etc so my question is what do i do first, where do i start

thank you to all who have replied. my goal is to come as close to a 10 sec. car as possible. i know i have alot of research to do and i am going to start.
the car is running strong now and the maintance is really good. so it is no hurry to get there.
even if my car never hits 10 secs. in a 1/4 mile then i wont be dissapointed as long as it is semi close and i am the one to do it all. then at least i will know that whatever it is in the end i can say i did my best and i did it all.
thanks again to all who have replied

I would find a front engine rear wheel drive car with a decent sized engine bay and start there. much more practical. However, if your pockets run deep then you could do something like this.

No offense, I love my car, but if my goal was to build a quick 1/4 mile car, I wouldn't start with a celica. I'd start with an old F-body pony car( Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, etc.)

i already have a 1995 nissan 240 sx se. that is rwd and the motor is built. not sure what it does in a 1/4 but i know with it built it kills the celica every time
