Change the oil and keep up on the maintaince. It is not worth putting much money into it.
Save the money for college, a new house or a new car.

Basically, that's what I told my boy.... Gave him a 97 Ranger for graduating.... I keep it safe and dependable in exchange for "favours" which can keep him hopping... At 19, he owns his own home (well, him and the morgage company).
Once he gets established, he'll have a lot of opportunities to have some really nice toys....
Word to the wise.... it is seldom a good diea to hotrod your daily driver... The quest for "more" will eventually render the car undriveable - a chore to drive - or possibly just plain unreliable.
I was young once (honest).. and there's all manner of things I wish I'd done different.
Only things i done with it so far was put some neons on the interior got a better radio chrome valve stem covers and muffler tip. Anyways i have a old mustange i have to save up for to get running again.
Oh come on, wing's look good on escorts!

Then, you've done more than you should have.
You do all the other stuff, like put in a new cam, maybe a new chip, whatever. What do you get for your troubles when you go sell it? Not much.
Save it for the Mustang.

It should be,
And, unlike the Escort, it will be worth something when finished. ;-)

Do the neons and chrome covers make it go faster?
Looks aren't gonna get it faster.
A new intake, cams, and such *might* be worth it, but the others are right, save the money for the 'Stang
I wasnt expecting to make it go faster by changing the looks im not that dumb so anyways yeah the stuff i put in it was fairly cheap but today i got a nice amp for my subs so it really pounds now.

Now is the time for the high output alternator.
