Default What should I do?

Well I am getting my tax return soon and I am going to invest $1000 of it into my car (92 dx) maybe a little more. I have been debating on how to spend the money though. I was planning to do a mini me to it and have most of the parts except gaskets and other misc. but now I am not sure if i should do it. Should I
a) sell the dx and use the extra money to get a ex so I have a better car to start with
b) turbo the d15b7 (130,000 miles)
c) still do the mini me and use the money for other stuff. suspension, rims, exhaust
d) d15b engine and tranny swap ( this one i am a little worried about because I don't have a garage to work in so I would have to do it at my friends house plus I have never swapped a motor before)
e) other_____________________

thanks for any input guys!

I'm sorry but you're gonna need a little more than 1000 bucks for most of those things. I'd say save for a swap of some sort. Maybe go for a y8 turbo., That'll only cost around 2k. Good luck with your choice.

Get some Tein SS Coilovers and a Suspension Techniques rear swaybar. That'll just come up around $1000 and it'll be the best two mods you ever done to your car.
