Alright, most people don't know me here, so this is kinda a general post/introduction and question to anyone. I'll start with the history of my money, my car, and my future, for both.

I bought my '95 GS-T 5-sp with 119XXX miles on it. It wasn't running due to a bad TPS. TPS turned out to be a un-tensioned t-belt, crappy coil-overs ($40 off ebay), a ridiculous wing, not running for 2 yrs in the New England weathers (cold winters!) and then plugs and wires were also shot too, along with the stock 2G bov having a crack on itself, and the nipple for the vaccum line breaking off.

The car has a Clutch Masters Stage 3 with aluminum fly-wheel, Injen intake and tokico non-adj. After I did the timing belt, battery, oil change, TPS, Mag 8.5mm wires and NGK 7es plugs, Apex'i BOV and UIP she was running good and I failed my state inspection due to 1) ball joint and 2) emissions. Here's where it gets good.

In Dec, I left my job at a local pizza shop due to a lot of crap. Medical, absences, and lack of benefits. My car as of now, is still "R" rejected for emissions. I have no cash to pay for anything. I failed for running rich, and am in search of stock 2G pipes and BOV so I can re-cirrculate for the day of the inspection. I also have a stock cat to install, and am in need of 4 new tires and another ball-joint, maybe more.

I was offered a job that will pay around $50k a year, so I am going for that. My concern is the money for my car, and how I can get it settled. If I get $50k/yr I am going to buy a daily driver, mainly an STi (AWD for NE winters) and then garage my GS-T. Granted I get it the sticker for emissions, what should I do to modify it? I'm going to fix everything wrong with it for now, from the guage cluster being inaccurate, the leaking sunroof, and the holes in the hatch from the ebay wing being drilled on it.

This job doesn't start for another couple weeks, but I am in debt now! Maybe some of you know how to be living poor? Esp. with a DSM, it sucks! I want to know what some of you guys think I should do with my DSM in the future, interior/exterior, engine/performance, and handling.

And also, is it dumb to turn my $3200 10yr old car into a street racer (I wanna destroy V8s and SRT-4s), and buy a $32,000 daily driver?

Let me know, if I posted this in the wrong forum, let me know and then delete it. I'm sorry it's so LONG but no one really knows me, and I just wanted to get some opinions on what I should do. Thanks, Nick
