Thoughts on a cheap turbo car (manual).....UPDATE
G'day fellow rexers... my son has decided he wants to move up from the Excel, spend is limited to around $6-7k. Obviously this puts him on the outer as far as any Subaru badge is concerned, 'cept maybe an RS Lib or the rare Vortex
Carsales and other sites regularly checked, this one caught his eye and didn't seem too bad at 1st glance but I'm thinking the claim to running 11's maybe a tad far fetched. Any other opinions on this, based on the stated mods? Anyways, if anyone on here has, or knows someone who has a manual factory turbo car which fits the $ frame & needs a new home, shoot me a PM or reply here. All drivetrains considered, but AWD is the obvious preference.

If he is also interested mayb a VL. Easier to find parts for and a lot cheaper for parts if things go wrong.

My brother just sold his R8, bought a cheap (like 3K or something) 626 turbo as a run around til his new car arrives and its already costing him money! Alright if you want a project car or have spare cash lying around but most young people probably dont. |
