What to do with a 91

I have a 1991 toyota celica GT (2.2L engine). Lots of Kilometers on the car and it has of course started to lose power. Any hint or tips to get back some of the zip it used to have? The car is in great shape and very reliable but I would like to do some fun upgrades. Any suggestions would be great.

try getting a tune up...you might get back some of the power loss...air filters..spark plugs..etc..check the cat converters both first and second....mine was clogged..and got it replaced and felt a big difference...

Change plugs, wires (check the date on the wires, its stamped along the wire if Toyota OEM), dizzy cap and rotor.

Im sure that will make a huge difference.
