Try and find a 1st gen crx-si or a 2nd gen crx-si these would be a lot easier to build power in.

If you can do a motor swap, check into the prices and availability of used motors from wrecks. The early CRX can be made the lightest, but the Civic has the better handling and brakes. Either car can readily be adapted to a later model motor from an Si or an Acura. We have a juy locally racing an '89 CRX in ITE that's running an '86 Integra motor dynoed at 150 solid horsepower. The thing screams!
