Guys, I need ideas here. I need a RWD or AWD car. Well not need, but really want, for a next project car while I find help, gather extra funds (might not really be an issue), and undergo GT4 conversion or at the worst case scenario, the engine swap.
The exterior is on it's way and I shall have that on soon enough. But aside from that, the real issue of topic. What car to get. Looking for something under $4k and staying away from FWD/FF cars. So far, what I have been seeing out there the choices are Nissan 240sx (I loved my old one), Toyota MR2 (AW or SW), Mazda RX7 FC, Toyota Corolla SR5 or GT-S, Mitsubishi GSX, or there is a 1995 Subaru Impreza I could pick up right now for $1500 assuming it is not automatic and not FWD. What do you suggest? Or is there something else better? I am dying to get another car now, because I don't want to wait until winter break to have my clutch repaired (under warranty, why not?).

Get a 1st Gen (90-94) Eclipse GSX/Talon TSI AWD.
Cheap, you can build it to be reliable, and amazing aftermarket parts scene. Also, for your area, if you can get it and keep it rust free, when/if you decide to sell it, there are plenty of people who will pay a ton just for the shell. |

I have a friend with a 1st gen GSX and he knows a lot about them. I also heard that the 4g63t engine that is inside of it is one of the most (if not the most) bulletproof engine out there. Meaning you can pretty much antilag it, and not fear blowing the engine, because they can take punishment. I also hear that the 4g63t engine is also used in the Evo III. What I wouldn't give for an Evo III, VI, or IX (Well not a GT4, that's for sure, but would like one of those). -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
