Default D15Y7 97 civic lx

I bought my 97 civic lx for 940 bucks. And Ive spent about 2500 into it in all inculding the price for the car but now im stumped on what i should do now. It pulls pretty decent for being a D15Y7 but I want more power. What is a smarter idea for me to do full swap (what motor). or a mini-me swap with a z8 head.Car has 183,000 miles on it. I want to go faster. Right now I have I/H/E and is lowered an inch. Also got the SI spoiler. Any suggestions on more mods or things i can do with this car. I will post pics ASAP when I get home. also looking for this bumper. http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...GN8uDCmr2F&t=1
anyone know the name and if it will fit on my car. Thanks.

Do a swap........anything else wouldnt be worth the trouble. Any DOHC swap would be fine.....even an LS swap into it without VTEC would be such a huge improvement.
