AE86 Beast.. of a different brand
For years I've posted on here, that a mazda BP 1.8 would be a good swap candidate
Stock would be a decent performance boost. Boosted they rip, mild-to-wild
Lotsa supercharger flavours.... or turbo mental, if you like. 8sec 5spd street car is nutz

if quickened manual is so annoying at in-town low speed & parking... a basic EPS operate only then, fixes that
