what are your build plans, if any?
We kinda need to know what your intentions are before any recommendations could be made....
the first car, however, sounds like a prime candidate for a 5spd swap and a KA-T setup IF (big if) the car really only has 32k... which is highly suspect.
edit: I just realized that you said "first car". disregard build plans, most people thrash their first car, that's just the way it is. It's a newfound freedom that it'd be stupid not to have some fun with
Get the 93, throw like $500 at it in maintinience stuff (TC bushings, belts, timing chain service if not done already, new dampers, fluids, etc etc etc). Then...
Learn to drive. Don't try to drift, don't try to race, just learn how the car works. Learn the physics, learn what the car does when you over/under steer. Do all this first and you'll have a leg up on 99% of your peers, from there u can go where u want
