IMO swap in a new, faster, engine or turbo your car. It all depends on how much money your willing to spend.

Ah yes, the typical swap advice. Let's calculate shall we? *IF* you get a job right now for $9.50 and work an average of 25 hours a week every week, after taxes and insurance, if you spend NO MONEY ON ANYTHING ELSE, you could buy a swap package in 6-7 months. Then there's labor unless you can do it all yourself.

Or...you can build a serious D-series performer on a budget. Anytime you get between $100-300 to spend you can buy a performance part that you can put on. Each part in itself might not be a serious hp-adder, but by the time you're done it will add up to a fun car for much less money than a swap. Search the forum for "D-series" discussions so you can get a true idea of the options available to you.
