Save ur cash and I'll give you $300 for the sedan, then you'll have $800 for a better car ;p.

Or I mean, if you really wanna just throw money at a lowely four door.. MPFI swap, then get a cheap 1.6L longblock and save for boost. The 1.6 will feed your needs for now while you save for the bewst :D

Use it as a daily.

Spend that 500 on other stuff. If it had to be spent on the car, I'd probbly replace all the speakers and headunit swap to mpfi *if needed* just make it a bit nicer to daily.

Not that sedans are bad platforms heck I like them a bunch, it's just it's a free and great car to putz around in. I think as much fun and modding is i ruined my car modding it.

These are some of the nicest lil things to drive every mod is a comprimse in some way my car is "fast" handles well but it's not what she was stock.
