Just cuz it's an older car doesn't mean you don't have as *many* options. It just means you have to be a bit more creative with your applications. Surely you won't find a billion bolt on's for this model car, however you'll still be able to find a few things made for the same engine type, or for the body type.

Search around for mod's for other cars with the same engine in your's. I'm not familiar with the 6 cylinder counterparts of the 3SFE, so I have no clue where to look for that fun stuff.

Look around, and I'd hate to sound like an ass, especially after jm just said we're a bunch of assholes, but the search button really can help.

Just look around and read up on things. You'll understand soon enough.

BTW, Welcome to TN. Good to see yet another Gen 2'er.

Start with a good tuneup if you haven't done that in a while. New plugs, wires etc can really improve the way a car runs. Then before you spend money on addon improvements, test the compression etc to make sure you have a base from which to work. A cold air intake and cat back exhaust won't help much if you have no compression in 2 cylinders.

Always a good idea to restore everything to proper working order before any mods.
