"Hellabroke" Protege 5 on a college Budget

Well about 2 weeks back I went to weld my exhaust, since the hanger was broken. Outside the shop my car got stuck in some sort of ice ditch and I had to go in 1st and reverse to get it out. Anyways when I managed to get out, my splash shield got ripped out from under the car, so now I have half a splash shield and will have to wait till spring
weather to go to the junk yard for one
 


My new JDM bubble shift knob, its starting to get internal cracks from the vibrations though :( If it breaks down the road im gonna get the 10" TMW knob.
 
My next mods are:
-Headers
-Racing wheel
- Racing seat (probably bride)
- Takata Harness
- my car has really high mileage so I wanna swap the engine?? (anybody have any suggestions on what to drop in other than the stock engine? I was thinking a SR20DET or mazdaspeed engine.
