there are no chips that im aware off, unless custom, but why would u want it for the es.
if talking about the ones on ebay, forget about it, its real junk so dont even bother. the es was not made for performance, so parts are very limited, if u want performance, get a gs, u will have more upgrade capabilities, like, throw a supra 2jz motor in it. basic mods for basically any engine (lawnmower, scooter, car, whatever) u can do tho is muffler, bigger exhaust piping, and intake to start off with. how about a supercharger? trd makes it for the 1mf-ze.

^ Ok, I'm SICK of people saying the Camry/ES is not made for Performance and to buy another car. (No, thats NOT directed at you, just I hear it all the time, ugh. You have no idea). I'm doing 228whp and daily drive mine, and goign for around 300-350whp as an end point. My friend has 600whp in his '94 and going for 1000whp, and drives it all the time, and I have other friends around the 300whp mark that daily drive thiers.
With that being said, dcapo is right about the chips, they are useless on our cars, and none work. Just like those 'electic" superchrgers and turbo's on Ebay. You want performance, you gotta pay to play. Suspension and brakes, there are pretty well priced options to upgrade that though.

Honestly, unless your willing tp put in some money, your not goign to gail much, if anything. Intake and exhaust, you'll gain some high end power, but loose low end.
As for clunking in the rear:
1: Sway Bar Links
2: Sway Bar Bushings
3: Strut Mounts (very likely if they were not replaced when springs were changed)

Given your circumstance and the car there isn't anything 'cheap' you can buy to make it 'moar horsepowerz'.
So keep it stock and do maintenance is the best thing you can do.
... Or you can be a typical 'boy toy racer', install some ****ty hacked intake and trigger a bunch of CEL's making the car run like a pos, etc.

Lol this car is going to be a good lesson for life... as you are probably getting the feeling of there often isnt a "quick fix" which is going to be successful. You have to put the time and effort or in this case money to get great results. Cheap is great but a lexus isnt cheap. Pursuit of Perfection.

Dp, do yourself a favor and before you do anything, just read up on the forum and pay attention to what the senior members say. Many people your age don't know jack **** (no offense to you), and destroy thier car. I have to rebuild my 17 year old friend's 240SX engine this summer, because all he wanted was more power, and wouldn't listen. Needless to say, engine go bye bye, and he learned a HARD lesson, thats sadly vary expensixe as well.
Don;t be like the rest of the kids your age. Learn BEFORE you do, not after.
