Exclamation Performance how-to's 93 CIvic coupe

HEy you all enthusiasts,
I have recently adquired a 93 civic Coupe.
Black, no rims, no intake no nothing.
I have always wanted to have a coupe and fix it up, a friend of mine owns a body shop, i also know a really good mechanic. But what i am asking for is advise on what to do to it TO MAKE IT BURN RUBBER!!!
I used to have a Chevelle and we would go to the track all Thursdays, now i have this Civic but know nothing about imprts, HELP!!!
WHat do i do first to gain some HP, then what?
Do i fix the body first?
Isn't it beta to have a jacked up body with sick brains than a sexy car with no pwer?
let me know what you all think, you can post here all you want, i'ma paint this sucka too, but i want to have performance before looks.
I just changed the Water Pump and Oxigen Sensor. Changed the thermostat too.
What should the timing be? i have a 16 valve, 1.5 L engine. 4 cylinders.
Going to change the transmission to manual pretty soon. Any good advice as to what transmission or where to get it cheap?
Thank you everyone or whatever imput you may provide.
