93' escort - Help!

[appetite4gnr]

my parents recently given me a 93' escort for graduating high school. it's in great shape, it's just lacking....balls. I would like to know if it is worth my time and money to upgrade the engine or something. How could I squeeze a little more power out of it?(if possible, haha)

also, the automatic seatbelt thingy won't work on the drivers side, how can i fix this?

help from anyone would be greatly apreciated, thanks.

yeah i think its worth fixing up these cars can look pretty sweet...only few drawbacks, its a cheap car, but modifing it is costly, and some parts are really hard to find. and to fix the seatbelt i had a similiar problem with the passenger side. if the seatbelt clip is stuck on the front of the door next to the steering wheel, then there is a wire dissconnected, it is probly inside the door, luckly the door panel is really easy to take off. just pull apart carefully, and take the nob off the door.
