Put a new air filter in it and drive it. It's an economy car, keep it that way.

O, but put an ls1 in it, duh.

you could probably get decent power out of an EJ25, but you'd have to mid-mount it and do a RWD conversion. maybe put a vtec head on it.

Modding a 22 year old econo box for 'speed' is a waste. That model didn't even have IRS. It's ancient technology. Drive it until you can buy something worth upgrading.

forget about your need for speed right now. keep your 89 beater as a daily.

then save up, get a newer car. it will likely already be faster, and more worth putting expensive mods into
