4k isn't much. I would say used integra, a gs-r if you can find one for that price in decent shape.
If the newer styling(heck my car is 12 years old) isn't important to you, you'll accomplish a lot more with an older platform.
The 4th gen civic and crx are much lighter than newer generations, and accept the 1st gen B16a engine which is a lot cheaper than the newer motors, but pretty much the same in performance. Plus the crx Si comes with 4 wheel discs stock. If I had 4K to work with, and wanted a fast, fun car, I'd start with a 4th gen.

I got my 5G EX Coupe for $600 because the motor was blown. Find a deal like that or where the motor is in shit condition for cheap and then still try to talk them down on the price.
I would stick with 5th Gen though (personal preference) and just hunt for one that hasn't been taken care of mechanically and you could still have enough left over for a swap.
Good Luck:thumbup:
