Rep Power: 0

Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a 96 Honda Civic EX with a stock 1.6 L Engine. The vehicle just passed 300000 miles! That being said I wanted your opinions on what to invest and put into this car to make it quick and reliable. (I don't need 300 HP but would like to do alright on the highway.)
I have an Interior and body shop lined up but the motor and transmission along with suspension are priority. I am looking to put around 5 to 7 k for all three. Suggestions? Comments? Please be as specific as you can so I can shop around and bring this Honda back to life! Ive been told this can be done for around that much. True? False? Thank You !
