    find a construction site and get some scap aircon routing pipe stuff. its like silvery and stuff.

    just get that and zip tie it to the front of your car somewhere. then run the other end into the part were the carby airbox circle thing would suck air from normally.

    free CAI...

    get a 2 inch pipe made to go from the carby to the front of the car, get a 3 inch bellmouth welded on the end of that, and fit a 3 inch filter to that.

    get some extractmores, and a 2 inch exhaust.

    advance the timing.

    run 98

    it will feel more aggresive but you will have just wasted 2k.

    Save your money and buy a twinky.

    Edit, clintons idea is good.

    4ac's are better for scrap metal than fiddling with.

    If you have a AE82, you want to focus more on resale value. If you are poor, your car represents alot of your money. And you can make money on it. Keep a standard car standard.

    For speed do this:
    buy a black spray can
    buy a silver spray can
    paint the radiator black
    paint the exhaust silver
    paint the wheels
    use tyre shine on the wheels, engine bay, and entire car
    sell the car "new radiator and exhaust was just done"
    Use money to buy a EFI car.

    Done.
