What to do to my car?
I'm kind of sad the whole engine build idea went down the drain (even after I have already purchased an engine stand). I'm now looking for some way to mod my car but I'm not sure where to start, any ideas?

Don't care whether it is for performance or looks, just want to mod something. As for the DD that is out of the question due to insufficient room.

Car needs to be able to be driven everyday and I think I could drop around $1500 without at this time without a problem

i would say find a way to go without it for a while, and drop in a cam, do some head work, and some injection system upgrades.
