Then:

1. Buy a Haynes manual.
2. Switch to Mobil 1 on your next oil change, then go 12000km between oil changes.
3. Change all your lights (gauges, interior, brake, markers, etc) to LEDs; Silverstars for headlights.
4. K&N drop-in air filter
5. Kosei K1 TS (14" version! ), wrapped with Hydroedges. (Check with REN69 for alternative choices)
6. Hang a little flying piggy on your windshield!
7. Give her a good wash & wax & detail.
8. Worship your stock (almost - see #4 above) 1ZZFE daily - facing the plant that built your car (*) AND your car - for the years of pep and life you'll get from her.

(*) Check your VIN: 2T1... = Cambridge, Ontario; 1NX... = Fremont, CA

Cheapest way.. put a TRD decal on the rear window.

I'm suggesting that you invest in suspension and tires..

a good set of tokico blues and tein springs or eibach sportline/prokit or gc coils will do very good as well as 16'' lightweight rims and Fuzion ZRI's .. ..

but it'll cost you a pretty penny..

I'd suggest you do it once.. and do it right. No point in doing something cheap.. then doing it over again and waste $$
