New car noob

Alright Camry kids, I'm new to your gang. I'm a Corolla boy but I've decided to dip into more. So, I got myself a '94 Camry LE for 4500 bucks.. 71 grand on the odo. I thought it was a good buy. So, what can be done with this awesome machine people?!

I did like the rear but I would love to change my lenses to a "smoked" dealio. I got the style I want in my mind, now I just gotta see it somewhere for sale.. LOL

Anything I should know about my purchase? Any and all feedback is appreciated..

The ECT thing was a first for me. Pretty nice too....

From my search, I like this dealio with the ECU learning my habits. Now, for the ECU reset question: (Yes, I searched FIRST) From my search, it says to pull the EFI Fuse for a minute or leave the negative battery terminal off for 10 minutes. But, what's the deal with one guy saying "It'll drive rough for a week"? Another guy was sayin' that if you leave it off (neg. bat. terminal) for too long, the airbag light will come on and you have to get reset? (Isn't that the what I was tryin' to do in the first place? "reset")

I guess the big question is that I want to know what's the best way to reset and the downfalls (if any) from the reset.

As well, I'm in love with the turbo idea. So, just to help my NOOB WAYS, you need a 3S-GTE head w/ turbo manifold, right? I just got off one sight that sells the turbo manifold made to clear all Camry from 1990 to 2000. Is this legit or bs? THANKS ALL!!!
