Well I'm getting bored of my car. I want to to be faster, and just more fun and rewarding to drive. I want to know if there's anything I can do to improve it to keep my interest in the car.

I lost interest in mine once too. My solution: I drove something else for a while. Trust me, you'll REALLY want your aging, slow, oversteering, but cherished Celica back. As strange as it sounds, the 6th gen Celica just has a certain "feel" that other cars just can't match. Of course, boosting and swapping are great options to give the car the power you want. However, both cost a lot of money and if we all had that much money, odds are we wouldn't be tinkering around with Celicas. My advice: Freshen the car up. New struts, ball joints, tie rod ends, polyurethane bushings, sway bar end links, take the seats out and steam clean everything, etc. You get the idea. It'll still cost a good bit of money, but it can be done one day at a time. Even if your car still feels good, there's room for improvement by replacing aging parts. Plus it's a great feeling to replace parts yourself then take the car for a drive and be able to feel the results. It's also cheaper than car payments. When you are finished fixing everything up and you still aren't interested in the car, all of the new parts are an excellent selling point.
