Sven7 has a good point. 5 speed Civic with manual steering is where it's at, for something fun to drive anyway. I've had bare bones 3 cylinder Suzuki clones, and they deliver good FE, but the Civic/CRX ride like go carts lol, for me they are more fun to drive. Rusty is right too, just the engine on its own won't do you that much good unless it comes with all the wiring, ECU, etc, or you have a source to get that stuff. But at least with the '92-'95 Civic that stuff is out there and you don't have to make your own.
