new engine isnt all that much...assuming you have a few good mechanic friends.

a 3s-ge engines start from about 800 to 1300, there about 1300 to import but theres plenty of wreckers around that have em already.

could almost do the turbo conversion for 8 grand but will prob end up costing you more...

for starters just go with basic mods ie. exhaust, pod filter, extractors etc

i'd get a newer engine before doing somethging bigger like installing bigger cams. not much point pouring eaps of money into a car thats probably on its last legs.

visually you could do a fair bit. could probably re-spray the car your self for under $500, good set of rims 1000-1500, sound system bout 600-700 (including new head unit if necessary), 50 bucks for fur from spot light (im doing my interior at the moment), sports steering wheel for 50 - 100.

either way i'd put about 2 grand away for a new engine for when your's dies you can still do a a fair bit with 4000 if you shop around.
