If YOU owned my car...
What would you do to it? I'm a complete newbie to the whole car scene, so I have no idea what mods are worth having, and what ones are a complete waste of time and money. So what I'm hoping is that someone with a bit of know-how in the modding biz could point me in the right direction. Pictures would be fantastic, but advice would be hugely appreciated.
Okay, so my car is a 1995 Mirage LS Coupe. Its green, its got a roof rack and towbar (came with them), a Momo sport steering wheel, and an exhaust pipe cover that I stuck on at the weekend. It also came with the factory mags.
So I can't really modify the engine too much because my insurance company is a bit pedantic about performance mods, but appearance mods/minor performance mods should be fine.
Thanks in advance

AH GEEZ DUDE, you've got ther perfect candidate for an evo conversion! Grab an evo III front clip and go to town! Drops right in, no messing with the motor or tranny mounts, just swap engine, axles, ecu, harness and tranny (and if you've got the cash and time, grab the rear diff and axles). 280bhp, AWD and a super light car. You'll completely obliterate any stock Evo VIII or IX or STi on the road if you know how to drive it.
Thanks for the reply dude. Do you mean change the front of my engine, both axles, and transmission? That sounds quite hard... I have absolutely no experience with modifying cars - I don't even know how to service one! I really like the idea of an Evo III style Mirage - after all, my mate has a MX-6, so it would be a lot of fun putting him in his place 
But I honestly don't have the knowledge to do it myself, so I'll either have to do it through a garage or bribe a couple of friends with a 12-pack :P
Do you know what sort of $ ball park a swap like this would fall in? Also, how long would it take to do? Thanks again.
