what is best car/engine for a project /weekend /racetrack car????

and why
I have about $1000 for the car and about $3000 for the engine swap (for now)

I had a 99 gsr with a type R in it as my first car (sold it)
but now I dont need it for everyday driving since I just got a 05 TSX

before my TSX I had an R32 whitch was Ok for auto x just 2 heavy (had to sell it)

 

eg w/ turbo LS motor is probably close to your price range if you know how to fab stuff. that would be a good drag car, maybe not so much at auto-x though.

 

If you're actually going to race the car (not drag), look into the series you want to race in and build the car to the rules. If you're not sure, leave the car stock, go to some track days and autocrosses, and then decide.
