Overhaulin'

What is a good first car under $5000 to modify for a 17 year old?

Im looking for my first car, I was thinking of getting either an 02' WRX or an 04' RSX but I just started working and insurance+car payments all of my money would go directly into car so I wanted something cheaper. Are there any good cars besides civics and integras I can mod and come pretty fast stock under $5000. Also would a 240sx 95 on up be a good start.
