Default No new car for me. Now what?

Well, it's now confirmed that I will not be getting a new car. This is due to the fact that my brother did indeed get accepted to the college he wanted to go to and will not be going to the community college here. So now I'm keeping my '97 Accord DX. So where do I go from here?

It doesn't look like an H22a is in the cards just yet. So what do you guys suggest I do? Wait and save and save and save for the H22? Or go to work now, with I/H/E and a few other things? I don't really care about looks for my car, so i'm not gonna spend $1000 on a tire/wheel package, or a body kit or JDM headlights. So, I ask again, what do you all suggest I do?

1) Save, save, save for an H22
2) Get to work on her now, with things such as exhaust, intake, header.
3) Save, save, save for a different car
4) [Fill in random suggestion here]

i say go suspension meaning springs, shocks, camber kit, tie bars, etc. if not just save for a h22. i wish i had spent all the money i invested into my car into an h23a4, but w/out the things i did spend it on, my car wouldn't be near the same.
btw dont go cheap on suspension, because you get what you pay for.

Yep. My favorite thing to do with project cars is to build the suspension first, and brakes, to make sure it can handle the speed before I put the speed in it.
