Since I'm not in Florida I'll just recommend what you should do, in the following order;


do all the maintenance first:
new brake bades, flush the brake lines with new fluid, and maybe some new brake lines
new plugs and wires
new air filter, fuel filter
coolant flush and fill - still got the original radiator? - watch it like a hawk, save for a new all metal one
oil and filter change, transmission and diff fluid change to synthetic
unless you already have done the safety relay mod, clean all your bulb sockets and hit them with some electrolitic grease
check your wheel berings (tighten if needed),belts, battery etc....

then start upgrading:
wheels and tires
suspension - don't bother with a full coilover setup for a 86 NA, decent springs and adjustable shox are fine for anything short of dedicated track car
better brake pads - something like Hawk HP+
chassis bracing - again don't break the bank on this, a set of Corksport's tower braces will do the job, theyt're pretty good Cusco knockoffs
Intake/Header/Exhaust - Racing Beat is your friend
Beefier clutch
Poly bushings everywhere

call it a day unless

you have stupid money to play with:
have the engine ported
get a stanalone ECU
get good (see expensive) coilovers


or you coulda just bought a TII

additionaly put money aside for the stuff that will break or needs replacing after 20+ years:
vaccuum lines
coolant lines
oil lines
OMP lines
frontal mount for the diff
radiator
water pump - don't buy reman, get OEM new, trust me on this
shifter bushings
switchgear
rear hatch struts
alternator

pretty much did all that, and more, i want some legit wheels now
old pre coilover and dirty oem supra wheels pics,

is it NA or turbo?
wheels you've got the old stand by of Enkei RPF1's in bronze would look nice.
go thru Tirerack and Discount Tires Direct to see what you like.
All depends on your budget, done right some BBS, CCW, or Fikse wheels would look nice.
the Supra wheels look alot like the 91 S5 wheels.
