Default 95 intega worth it

K i got a quick question i've been pondering for some time. I have a 95 ls, AUTO
:-(, I know horrible. I love the car though just a a nice clean daily driver, thats what i built it for and wanted to keep it as, but that devil inside said to NO TO SLOW. I've been doing a little research in regard to making the car worth while, such as swaping out engine and tranny to 5spd, turbo, ect. But the thing that gets me is the cost. When i bought the car i got hooked up. And looking at how much it would cost to swap everything is a little ridiculous. So i was wondering if i wanted to maybe rebuild the engine tune it up, head work, cams, ect ect. and add a supercharger would it be worth it or should i just spring to buy a 5spd and start all over, or just swap everything. I dont want a race car, i just want a nice daily driver that i can slap some people around every now and then. Any input would be great thanks.

id definately get the engine swap. vtec + boost = LOTS of fun.
get a turbocharger not a supercharger though.

basically the only question is how deep are ur pockets? cuse swapin out and all that other **** is not cheap at ALL. think about what ur getting into before you do it. and on top of that once u go swap and turbo u cant go back. contrary to popular belief modifications lower the value of your car.

if your ready to drop a few grand into your car or more then continue thinking of it and HT will be here for ur needs. but if not re think it.

Cool, thanks! What would be an estimate of the total cost to swap everything and have it done right, juts ball park. I was thinking around 4.5k-5k. Also i was wondering if there was some good link pages where i could read up on stuff to learn about everything thanks.
