eBay!
I got my intake for under $100.and if money is a problem,just put on a turbo kit instead of a gte swap.that's what I would do.

Welcome to Clublexus..Dont waste your money on bolt-on parts they dont really do anything other than make noise..Save your money for a turbo kit or for a 2jz-gte swap(aristo)..

If you plan on goin boost, whether a swap or conversion, I say save your money for boost. However if you do not see boost in your future for whatever reason, then go for basic bolt ons. I know someone here (can't remember who) has exhaust, intake and a s-afc I believe. Bolt ons are good for a couple hp but it's not like it's your GS is going to turn into a hp beast. It's only good if you are looking to make your GS a little more fun to drive. Boost on the other hand is a whole other story...

You may want to look into some springs/shocks or coilovers. Those will also make a big difference and make your car more fun to drive too .

So whatever you do, make sure you do plenty searching here first and always make sure your car is runnng up to par with maintanence before you begin to mod. Good luck and keep us updated.
