1) if you want handling - Suspension (coilovers $1k, TRD RSB $150, front strut bar $40+, wheels)

2)if you want power - get a TRD supercharger if you can find one ($2500), or go custom turbo and get a better job.

Other than that I've heard that replacing the y-pipe on the V6 exhaust with a performance one can free it up a little.

Plugs, wires, O2 sensors, etc are a good idea to make the car run better and return stock power, but that's all it will do.

why not do this. leave your car alone, sell it and buy my car. ull have the same car, but awesome and fast.

but seriously, whats cheap? 100, 500, 1000+? one good thing to do is get an aftermarket Y-pipe or have one custom made for ya. theres some nice power to free up there. if you can afford it then go with a full exhaust, maby tune it. but still thats not really worth the money ud spend unless you plan on goin FI.

OH and welcome to TN.

haha dude id love to buy your car....if i had the cash, how about i trade you mine and throw in 1,000 with it?! but about that y pipe, how much $$ do they usually run and what kinda gains wouldi be looking at? and bigbird, is there anyway youd be willing to just sell me the super charger? ive been looking allllll over and cant find a single one, i found installation guides for katazuma (?) ones but ive never heard anything about them and would rather a TRD one, i would prefer a used one like yours because it would be cheaper, and as far as my concerpt of cheap for a decent upgrade would be around $250

looks like there is a delay due to lack of interest but you can keep track there.

or just go to a muffler shop or w/e and have it custom made

This will be the best bang for your buck: http://www.solaraguy.com/viewtopic.php?t=41543
And it's right in your price range too. It will need the slight modification but is definitely worth it.
