Almost getting there for another car, Don't trip, not ditching my Celica Options

[Random_Stranger]

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 subaru 2.5rs. Very nice. I want one of these bad LOL. Also aren't all subarus awd? the sw20 would also be nice. I also considered a 240sx for a while and wouldn't mind one as a project. preferably an s14.

See, if I went 240sx, I wanted to just do S13 (of course with a coupe) and maybe get some rims and then just kinda tune it up for some fun drifting, nothing real serious.


I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source of information, but I read that there were like 3 different kinds of Subaru's. There was a 1.8L, and some 2. something engine and another that was the 2. whatever plus turbo. Then that there was FWD and AWD versions, then like 97 they stopped the 1.8L engine, and then after 98 decided to make all Subaru AWD. Not sure how accurate that information is, but I like the stuff there is no hype over, and an Impreza is sounding very tempting, as nobody has one fixed up or even with rims in this town. I could be the first again with another car here. :-D That would get me known, because people are already noticing the Celica. I am not the first in this down to fix one up, but I will be the first to be GT4 exterior, and I am happy to say the first for projectors, and I am also the first in town to sport red rims.

Why does it matter? Because I am 26 with nothing else better to do with my life, as I am not popular with the ladies (dunno why, I am good looking LOL) and waited this long to actually modify a car. I barely started my mods this year and I would like to think I came quite a long way in 1 year.

Anyways, a 2.5RS huh? That sounds interesting. Is that turbo? I know nothing of Subaru, but I hear they make great engines. I know that their engines are funky too, like most euro cars. I guess it is one of those flat engines?


If I could find an SW20 for $4k, I would be happy. Always loved that car and was never allowed to get one because of high mileage. LIttle did we know how reliable a Toyota was at that time. I almost got one once, but I was encouraged to leave by my mom at the time, because the man who owned the lot was making rude comments and I guess came off very racist.
