Probly work better if someone *cough*sideways*cough* sticky this *hint*hint*nudge*nudge*. Anyways if you want to know what would be a good first, backup, or project car ASK HERE with what your plans are for the car (age and finacial situation would help too in the case of a 1st car deal). |

Top 3 FR: 1. 2. 3. Top 3 MR: 1. 2. 3. Top 3 RR: 1. 2. 3. |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 18 Member No.: 5,377 Joined: Feb 4th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Cars change every year, and these categories are way too generic... specific threads are much better because everyone has different interests. Otherwise I think most of our choices will end up being Ferraris and Porsches in sportscars, and Bentleys and Rolls Royces in comfort. Or do we just exclude comfort?

Just not a turbo edition, 'cause you'd be spending more getting it in proper working condition than you would if you just went with an NA. The turbos are kinda finicky. |

Hero or Zero cornering Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,783 Member No.: 3,476 Joined: Oct 1st 2004 Location: Update Profile | My belief is that a 15 year old turbo can't possible be that great, especially considering that the turbine has to spin much much faster than the engine. |

It isn't, really. It's a small turbo that causes lots of problems. Most people with Sport Sedans (who actually care about performance) get newer turbos. ...but that's why I'm saying not to get a turbo model. They're more trouble than they're worth... so if you're not willing to spend more on getting the engine running well than you are on the car, don't get one. It's also why my major engine upgrade is a 2.5L NA swap rather than a turbo swap. I can get the same power out of a newer EJ25 than I can get from the EJ22T... with less of the complications and hassle. ...but don't most turbos spin faster than the engine they're attached to? | ||

Can it be used? If so, you can EASILY get a wrx for under 20k... 3000GT VR4 too. You can score a 300ZX TT for under 20k also. There are ALOT of options. | ||
