Help for noobs

Hi my 86 is coming out of warranty soon and i would really like to start to pimp it out though i have very little knowledge of cars and wish to do small things first to the car.

Any advice where I should start?

Hi RiaX, well the first questions are, what are your goals for the car and what kind of money do you have to spend?

The answer to those questions will start to lead you in the right direction as there are many routes to take. For example, nippy N/A, low boost torquey turbo/SC or high powered turbo/SC etc....?

Hi RiaX , you can extend your warranty at Toyota for another 3years for approx R5000

There are safe ways of modding your car that can hold your warranty ..

Cosmetic modding like new wheels, lights, body kits, lowering (stance) won't effect your warranty...significantly

If you going forced induction (turbo or supercharge) you will most probably get a warranty from the tuner fitting them on . (It won't be worth extending your Toyota warranty in this case)

Im not really interesting in extending the service plan. First thing I want to do is change the interior LED colours and secondly I would like to get a little more push (torque wise) out of the car.

My replies will be slow as im quite busy person
