I am fairly new to these forums, I'm 17 years old and I was actually wondering where I should begin with my car in terms of performance mods. Keep in mind that I currently don't have a lot of money for any crazy mods yet.

Welcome! As far as performance goes you're better off focusing on handling mods like springs & struts or coil-overs, rims & tires, sway bars, etc... Power wise you're really better off swapping as there's really not much to be had in the way of bolt-ons.

suspension stuff it cheaper so yeah start there. Then after you are done all that you should be an old man who can afford swapping

Along with the suspension, upgrade to GT brakes all around. This makes a big difference. To me the brakes are the ST's biggest weakness. While you're at it, get a GT front strut brace.

Welcome! My 6gc was my first car and has come a long way since. You're better off starting with some suspension mods. ST sway bars would be good as well as a nice set of struts and if you want lowering springs as well. You could always do some appearance mods too. Since it your first car I assume it's your only car and you really shouldn't swap it or mess with the engine too much since you need it to be reliable. Plus there's not much to do with the engine stock wise...

ebay intake or KNN intake/filter should give it a growl.
obx header, catback exhaust. all that won't give you much hp but it looks and sounds cool. lol other than that, like everyone else said, go after suspension mods and just basic upkeep. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
