take it and fix it up and put a Turbo II motor in it.
City Turbo II is approx 80 kw (@ flywheel) all alloy, 15 psi standard, and a whole lot of fun.
Most Honda wreckers have a few floating around in their yards so motors are not that difficult to come by. The engine itself practically bolts directly into an eb1 (1973-1976) civic. The civics weigh 100kg (approx) less than the citys.

It's all about power to weight. Honda's rule.
