oh my, this thread has been very entertaining. i'll only post a reply to the original poster.
if this is your first project car and you are still young and in school, i would go with a crx and a b16a1 swap. you will have plenty of power to have fun with but not enough to kill yourself (easily). at my local autoX, the fastest car is an 88 crx with a "stock" engine (i/h/e), it weighs around 1500#'s with a full tank;), and can beat m3's, sc mustang cobras, trailored ae86's, etc. so don't think that all hondas are slow. the crx will give you a low insurance bill, good gas millage, and the safety of front wheel drive.
after you have a better source of money and some driving skills, then go with a different car, 240, ae86, gsx, etc.
good luck
