Well guys.. the celi is gone and I need another car. Currently Im driving a 95 C280 but its getting way up there in miles (250,000). So.. I'm looking for a new car with similar attributes to my old celica project. It has to be a turbo car, preferably AWD but I wouldn't mind a FWD car either. The car Ive been pondering about was a Eclipse GSX as it has very similar stats to the GT4. I can't afford any thing too recent like a EVO 10 or something, something in the mid to late 90s or possibly early 2000s will do. Any ideas?

anything awd costs more than anything rwd and fwd. Unfortunately.
When buying that kind of car I would obviously look at engine and then make sure that things like limited slip differential and drive shaft are in good shape. I test drove one 2008 evo and it jumped on every gear shift. There was a loud thump noise too. Car had a broken diff and it wasnt pretty. Dealer tried to con me into thinking that "that is how it should be". Also trannies are always knotchy on these things so shifting will not be easy. -------------------- Captain Pessimist
