Moved to correct section.


They weren't lying, there is very little you can do for less than a couple of grand that will make much difference. You can get exhaust/de-cat induction kit with cold air feed, that's about it. That will get you maybe 10BHP, but this will probably only cancel out what it has lost over the years.

You either appreciate it for what it is, or sell up and buy something faster i'm afraid.

As said above, a GT with the 3S-GE engine is a bit better with 177 BHP, or then there's the GT-4, which is miles faster, but expensive to run....

You seem to be a little confused about what you actually have, Chuck a photo of your engine up just to make sure. You mention GT in this post, you mention SS-II in your profile, if it is either of those you will have a more powerful engine than a 3s-fe.
