What would you do

I have a 91 CRX, and there are a few problems with it, but I don't have a lot of money it get it fixed. Which of these are most important:

Needs a radiator (leaks and stuff) $100
Probably needs a heater core (no heat, live in Michigan, winter is coming, changed the thermostat, didn't fix it) $30 (jy)
Cold Air Intake (well I don't have an airbox, just a filter, I'm worried about water or some dirty air getting in the engine and ruining it) $40-50 9(ebay)
Tune up (get valves adjusted, NGK wiring and spark plugs, paint the valve cover, new distributor cap, and valve cover gasket) $70

What order would you do this in?

Re: What would you do

so do u have a CAI now??? if u do just use the upper bit of it if you can so you can have a short ram,

if the car is running fine dont do a tune up yet....

the rad i woudl do as winter is coming , if its nackered as you say you may as well change it before its too late, just get a good condition used one if need be

and buy a power inverter and then you can plug a house hold heater into your car lol

if not then just go to a junkyard or look for a car breaking to get it out of

Re: What would you do

I don't actually have any of the parts yet. I guess I need to get a second job or something to pay for it. Everything is going to cost me like $250, maybe I can deliver pizza saturday night and make that much money

Well, if it's off, you might as well paint it

Better use high heat acrylic or something otherwise it'll be a waste of time.

Dupli-Color high temp enamal works good, I use it at the shop alot, and you can buy it at pretty much any parts store.
