my 95 GR's engine is totally stock .. want to add a little bit of power but cant afford anything too crazy.. what do you guys reckon is the best place to start? perhaps a pod filter and cold air intake? any other cheapish mods i can do?

Cheapish

Cold Air Intake
Hi-Flow Air Filter
Hi-Flow Cat
Hi-Flow Muffler

Bit more $$$

RPW/UAS extractors
2.5 inch exhaust pipes
Bigger throttle body
Iridium spark plugs
Aftermarket fuel pump

And just for fun

T66 Turbo
Motec system exhaust
Nos fogger system
Standalone fuel management system :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just be careful with $$$ though coz once you do the first four mods, then the exhaust, you may need to look at a piggyback ECU or your fuel might run a bit lean.

Have a search around the website and it'll give you heaps of ideas.

first replace all the basic stuff: fuel filter, change your oil to something good, gearbox service, sparkies and tappets - IMO

then
do the exhaust first. High flo cat and muffler

then
the intake - the pipe in particular as the stock one is sh*t. make sure u box up the pod.

then
then get an SAFC second hand and fit and tune (about 250 + fitting + tune)

then look at extractors if u like then maybe TB/Manifold upgrade

u can also get a FPR, and RPW manifold insulator gaskets, and play around with the mivec point if it makes any difference after all the other mods
