Not much you can do to make it fast, the car doesn't really respond to bolt-ons much at all.

It's an economy car.

Best bet would be an engine swap. Something like a 2ZZ-GE with a 6-speed manual.

The first thing you want to find out is what you want out of the car/engine.
If you want 500 whp, your better off with a new/different car.

are you looking for pure straight line speed, or would you like to be able to turn also?

Look in the FAQ for the suspension thread, find out what coilovers you want, and add in some swaybars.

Check out what Monkey Wrench Racing has for our engine.

2zz, trd supercharger, and 6 speed might be where to start if you serious about this.

looking for speed and definatly way better acceleration i love this car and im not willing to make a switch,

as per that engine swap "2ZZ-GE" is it hard to do or will it be a straight drop in with no modifications...also will it be good with a auto transmission? where would i find one as you can see im in canada and its expensive for shipping

While 2ZZ-GE's did come with an automatic transmission option on the Celica GT-S.... doing so will pretty much cancel out any performance gain. The engine needs the short gearing of the manual transmission to make the most of the narrow powerband.

The swap has been completed before.
