Default H22 Prelude donor car? What to do?

I was recently in an accident with my 94 Prelude. Damage isn't bad, but the car is 237,000 miles and things are breaking.
Budget would be about $3-5000 to start and more over time
JDM H22A+Non LSD trans
S2S1 Cams
Vibrant header

Still working with Insurance, so I have time to think about different scenarios.

The car will be a 75% Track Car(RR) with 25%(if that) street duty.
If I go the Prelude Track car route.....It will not see street duty.

Cheap Track Car Thats Fast = H22 EF

Nice Track/Street Car = EG

Nice Street Car = EK

I voted for EF though. I think it'd be sick to have a 99% track car that saw occasional street duty, yee.
