E30 318is or 325 sport.
Either one would be pretty good out of the box tbh!
But you could spend a couple hundred on sorting bits of the suspension out to make it more track friendly

id get a renault 19 16v for like £300 off the bay,
get a megan/williams 20.16v engine £500
spend the rest on breaks and suspension
renault 19's are good track cars cus they handle well and are stable/break well at high speeds. Also quite light when stripped

if you are replacing the brakes, suspension and engine surely it would make more sense to use a poverty spec clio

205
106
nova
xr2
mini

When youve finished setting up the suspension I cant see it being any better than a clio, especially considering the weight difference.
