Well if you only have $1200 then yeah you'd be much better off putting on an intake, do the exhaust and get some new rims/tires cheap from www.tirerack.com or somewhere...
You could sell the lan but then you have the hassle of being available for test drives/tire kickers and ppl haggling over your price.
Maybe try to sell it and if it goes quick at a decent price take that and your savings and buy a 3G civic hatch. Or one of the sporty '03 Accents :evil:
3G civic, eek, I have one, it's a POS(btw, you do realize that 3rd gen for civics is '84-'87, right?), maybe you mean and EG(5th gen) civic?

I agree with Tugger. Do a suspension ugrade, but I would do a brake upgrade before anything. That way you are set for your engine mods when you do them.

AE86. That's what I usually say in this situation right?
Anyways... keep the Elantra so some suspension upgrades, maybe some lighter wheels, some cheap engine mods that do barely anything. You'll have a start.
If I had 1200 scrillas, I'd go buy some car audio, because I'm awesome already.
