    Electrical issues with that car won't be fun..
    All I would do to that car is put an cold air intake, full exhaust (w/ a cat), find some nice 15-17" wheels with sticky tires.. and maybe put some springs on it. (And tint the windows to 15%.) Any mods on this car won't help it (overall HP/speed wise). That auto tranny is a big pile of shit and that car will give you nothing but problems later if you try to do any 'large' upgrades. You're not doing bad so far though, find a better job and just keep your mind open for another car down the road.

    Yeah...THATS definately TRUE.....we had a problem with it in the past, where it wouldnt shift gears and would slip out of gear sometimes, and we had the tranny FULLY re-built, and it STILL has a little problem where it has a habit of makin a 'knock' sound at the moment when you accelerate it kinda hard or let off after acceleration...its really not a big deal, but still.....i know that even that shouldnt be happening...

    My point exactly. Is this your first car? I wouldn't worry about dumping much money into it, especially the condition the body is in. Keep it semi-stock and save up some $$$
