Alright, here's the deal, I keep going back and forth about what kind of car I want one day. I was it to be nice and at least semi luxurious, AWD, sleeper or sleeper-esc, and be capable of tons of hp. I've thought about getting a ae86 and making it nice and turboing it to make it fast, but I think I want more luxury and AWD. I've been thinking about getting an A4 and twin turboing it lately. I'd be willing to stand RWD, as long as I move south. I'm debating moving to Europe so I can have more choices. And yes, I'm serious. So, what do you all think?
EDIT: I'm no expert, so something I can get help with, and build step by step would be nice. I really don't want to just take something to a shop and have everything done. The intire point of this is to build a fast car, owning and being able to drive it is just a by product.

QUOTE(Consynx @ Jan 12, 2006 - 10:15 AM) [snapback]377571[/snapback] i believe the 92X IS a WRX Chassis, engine and Tranny. suspension, and body may vary. i didn't get the greatest article on it as it was Autoweek just saying how Saab was abusing their powers of being w/ Subaru Yeah, steeling everything except a front bumper is kind of abusive. But that's what Dodge did with Misubishi with the DSM's. And GM did with all the Geo's. I'd like to just get the front bumper of a 92x and put it on an STi. And remove the Sti badges and put on Saab ones. That way, I won't have to swap in a 2.5 into the Saab. But if I plan on working the whole car over, there's not much of a point in getting the upgrades things that come with the STi except the engine. Now, I'm tworn on this. I'll probably just get a 92x and build it. Because there's some guys out there with the 2.0 that are turning some really nice numbers. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
