What is most important to you first?

Appearance? (Paint, Rims (alone), Interior/Exterior add-ons)
or
Performance? (Primarily Engine Mods)
or
Function Appearance? (Lowing, Springs, Wheels, Exhaust)

I dont think its worth it to dump money into your current 2jz... especially if its high mileage. Buy a 1jz or 2jz gte and go from there.

If you want some lesser hp gains, theres always exhaust, intake, etc.
