new to the forum

Hello eveyone! I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say hello. I have a 92 NA T-top with intake and exhaust.

If anyone has any info or tips on making my baby go faster for cheap, let me know. Thanks!

I've had the car for about 5 years but have only had $ to do the intake, exhaust and 17 inch rims. They're Tenzo Poke-10s, I think they look awesome.

fast and cheap don't go together......u didn't help ur cause either by going with 17s.....theres only so much or rather so little u can do to the NAs to make them fast....most ppls will just do the turbo swap......

Well, I'm not really looking to race or anything like that yet. I was just wondering what I could do besides the turbo swap to make it a little quicker and fun. I don't necessarily mean "cheap", I meant what's the best bang for the buck. I have to be budget minded right now. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Got those already. What about internally, is there anything that I won't have to rob a bank to do? I was thinking about autocrossing in a couple of years and I have heard that an n/a might be a little better for that because of the wider powerband. Is the turbo pretty reliable, or is it a pain to mantain? I just want to know what I might be getting into if I go that road. Also, what about the "performance modules" I keep seeing on ebay. Are those bogus or what?
