NEW Silver 2003 SE i4
Hi all, I'm new to these forums and just yesterday purchased a 2003 solara se coupe 4cylinder in silver(AUTOMATIC :/ ). So far I disagree with most of the the threads here about it being very sluggish, 157hp stock isn't TERRIBLE, on the ride home it was quite enjoyable as opposed to my 97' civic ex (127hp).
Just wanted to introduce myself, my name's Steve and I'm 17 from NJ. Any tips for me as to parts to get for it? I know it's only a 4speed i4 but only a few small add-ons to get it up to maybe 180hp? Like cold air intake as one thing, any ones that work specifically well for it?
Thanks, and nice to meet you all.
EDIT: Here's a picture of it the day before I bought it.

Well, I couldn't get the image code to work, but that's it on my photobucket account.
