Questions about 96 Nissan Sentra

Well I'm looking at getting a '96 Nissan Sentra. I've done a lot of research on the car and have a few questions. So if anyone knows anything about the car feel free to add a post to the thread.

First of all, how is this thing gonna perform. I read it has about 115 horses, so I would assume it gets maybe 90 to the wheels. Can this thing beat anything in a drag? What would it run? An 18 or something? I'm not sure if this thing can even beat a Miata. That's a little depressing.

Anyway, I'm not really interested in dragging it that much, that's not my reason for buying this car. Otherwise I'd be going in an entirely different direction.

How is the handling on these things? Would it do alright in autocross? Would lowering it an inch or so improve this particular cars handling or is it pretty much a lost cause to autocross with it?

Also... where can I get engine parts for this thing? Particularly performance oriented parts. All 96 Sentra's have a 1.6 I believe. Oh... what would be a good motor for this car?

Thanks, these are the only things I couldn't find info on. I've spent like 3 days googling and cruising around e-bay. All I could find was a air filter on E-bay for it. Oh and BTW: Where in the hell can I find a place that has taillights available that AREN'T Euros/Altezzas? I hate them freakin' things! They ugly.
