    How much performance do you want to add? Simple bolt-ons include free-flowing intake and exhaust.

    You can also open up the engine and replace with better internals. Or go the forced induction route via a supercharger or turbocharger.

    Auto_Xer sells K&N filters and can fabricate custom intakes for you. His shop is Fusion-R in E. Rod.

    I think woodfire had his custom exhaust system (for his Strada) built by Freemuff.

    are referring to the locally sold LC80? if yes is it equipped with a diesel engine, the 4.2 turbo diesel. if yes you can add an intercooler.

    take a peek at this:

    Is that the 1FZ-FE engine? You can use synthetic engine oil to get more power. Then check all the high tension wires or upgrade them if the vehicle is 7yrs or more.
    Also check your brakes, pads- some users complained of weak brakes given the size of the vehicle.
