Other than a swap, there is nothing you can do. That engine/tranny combo is worthless

You could but some nitrous on it...like a small shot, id say no more than a 50. Can be had for under 400 bucks

save some money and swap the motor for a D16z6, B16 or B18.

define no where? he said he doesnt want a "racecar". unless your doing the swap yourself it can get pretty spendy. my girl used parts from craigslist costs only a couple hundred bucks.
