What Should be my next Car?, A turbo Car FWD or AWD is what im leaning towards Options

[SlvrCelica09]

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?

Well since you are looking into a 2g I would recommend you stay away from that if it is gonna be a daily driver. For one they have 7 bolt engine. 7 bolts were far more prone to crank walk compared to the 6 bolts in 1g/gvr4, so most 2g owners tend to swap in the 6 bolt. They are much better as weekend cars since they can make stupid power for a decent price. If you insist on daily driving it though, make sure to stay on top of maintenance. The timing belts are key since they are interference engines. Many also delete the balance shafts as they can cause trouble later down the road. A nice reliable set-up would be mhi evo 3 16g, 272 cams, fmic, 560cc or high injectors, 255 walbro fuel pump, 2.5in piping with a good fmic, and 3in turbo back. That would net about 320-340whp on pump gas. When that gets boring you can look into get a pte 50 trim.
