New car time... !!!

[Divine]

Alright, I landed a new insurance job, which starts in 2 weeks, which obviously means new car time.

Currently got a BC4, however, if I had 4-6k to spend, what would you recommend in the way of Legacy/Wrx/Forester? Has to be manual, turbo isn't needed but preferred (Seeing I get cheaper insurance now anyway, so a 19yr on his restricted can insure these things)

Pro's and Con's people I prefer sedans, however there is just something about a sacked Forester that's appealing...

(No poll option :-\ )

Opinions away!!

That thing is the sex. Well worth it.

Yeah I noticed the huge drop in prices, so I figured now would be prime buying time.

that thing is tiiidy. I'm in the same boat as you mate 4-6k. I'm looking at gtb/rsb, you can a fairly tidy manual for 5k.

I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to subaru mods, but we all stated somewhere

Which translates to: I would rather not buy a stock standard job, if you get what I mean?

Ah that seems a little expensive to me. And the 180ks on the engine just seems like a ticking time bomb as rebuilds are pricy.

I bought my V4 STI RA with a full forged rebuild for 9k end of last year so keep an eye out and a mint well priced one should pop up

why not, itl be alot better then your current car anyway, there quick enough in stock form

They really are, bilsteins + 206kw is more than enough for an inexperienced driver. Once you out perform the car, then start learning mods...

id also save more and buy a nice tidy stock sti, i honestly would not buy one thats been had any more than basic mods, save urself the trouble of owning a headache

Divine: i suggest you remove that signature as condoning such driving makes you seem like an absolute tool.

if you drift or race on public roads you are an absolute f*ckwit.

This sort of shit is not what we want in here!

[Divine]

Righteo.

[aim]

You're alright Divine, wait untill you've got the cash, then start looking

[Divine]

Is that better for you OBD?

Oh how I would hate to look like a tool on the internet.
