I want a project car to get some better gas mileage during the Summer. I love my Cruiser, but 14 mpg hits hard.

Had to go with the CRX for nostalgia's sake.

AE86. Rear drive, conventional layout, Easy to tune.

A Celica is a better bet than MR2. Same motor, but accessible to work on. Mid-engine is fun but hell for maintenance. Just put a new cam belt and water pump on my turbo Celica.

Hondas have interference motors, spin off the timing belt and poof! goes the motor.

A 30-40 year old car for a daily driver is a crapshoot regardless of how good a mechanic you are. It's good to have a newer beater car for a grocery-getter.

My coworker is selling his right hand drive 86 for 3k. Just needs new carbs and a drive shaft. I also have a spare 22r engine I could stuff into the Honda's if need be.

MR2's are fun.
