A couple of months ago I got a 25th anniversary celica st, and although I absolutely love it, I have to say...its pretty slow. I've read around, and realized, sadly, that there aren't a whole lot of performance upgrades for an ST. I have a somewhat limited budget, and was wondering what I could modify on my car to get the most fun driving experience.

STs can be fun if theyre a manual. get some good tires, some suspension work and the car will out-handle nearly anything.
if u want power u can trbo, but dont expect more than 200 hp. or swap, but thats a whole nother story -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
