I just bought an ae 86 bone stock with no rust at all. I would just like to know the best things to do to the car.
And the specs hp and stuff like that. I mainly want to know how to get more horsepower. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is a manual 5 spd and is white.
Thanks a lot!

Check out "4ac powered". There is a lot you can do to the 4AC for cheap that will make it more enjoyable to drive. I would Enjoy the car while you improve the important parts of the car- Reliability, suspension and the driver!

Being an SR5 owner,I third the motion for http://4ac-powered.forumotion.com/

I would do a weber carb, suspension, and most importantly, drive and enjoy the car.

Thanks a lot guys!
Would nice headers give me more hp as well?
Or a k&m air filter? What do I for the suspension? How much would a Weber carb be? What will it do?

4ACpowered. You'll soon realize aftermarket parts are rare for the 4ac. Just weld the rear end & maybe put a weber on there and drift it.
