Default what should i do fellow h-t'ers

jus graduated college and jus got a job yesterday. 12 bucks an hour, not too good, but fresh out of school, i need the experience.

my question is, what do you guys think i should do? sell my BELOVED car and get a 95-97 gsr, or swap another engine into it (b18c, or b18b turbo or sc). my current 92 hb engine is not in the best shape, the clutch is going out too, it doesnt grip right away sometimes and makes a horrible noise, but does not slip once engaged.

i love my 92 hatch, have had it for 3 years.

but im thinking maybe pick up a stock gsr and start over

another thing with my hb is smog, which is up in april 2004, i hate paying so much for "smog". and plus i aint even got a source anymore

i figure a new engine and clutch would cost me what 4500, prob less. and more money to fix the misc. stuff

my friend just got a 95 gsr for 6000

what you guys think

heres my car now:

You seem to love your car so much. Keep it but don't get TOO attached to it.
