No I was talking about my cj being old and unreliable. I still don't want something as old as an l series.

I think I'll stick to my rs thanks lol. Bit too old for my liking for a daily driver since I'll have another old unreliable car to deal with.

Yer if I could get a rex I would. I'll just get an rs. I don't know what an l series is but I assume older. I don't want older and don't want a project car that needs fixing im already about to buy an ~85 cj10 jeep.

Try g and s tires. Don't have any experience with tires that small but he specializes in 4wd tires and should be able to help you out.

But each to their own! Yes that is one way to go about it. But if the RS turns out to be a great car why not turbo it with the use of a half cut? Personally this would be the way I'd do it if I were in this situation. I guess you could do this, I don't know how well the NA engine would run - and I'...

I was just checking how much work and cost it would be. I think you might be right though i think ill just get an rs and then sell it and get an sti. All the intercooler and everything to do with the turbo would have to be removed to and would probably cost a bit to get it rewired. Thanks for your h...

You can legally put an engine from the same model car in without engineering so papers wouldnt say turbo and even if its cop bait they cant book me for anything if i dont modify it.

The time doesnt worry me i have more than enough of it lol.
Also just to clarify because i think you talking about the wrong thing. I was asking whether it would be a good idea to buy an sti model now and temporarily put a non turbo motor in till im off my ps then swap back to stock.

Hey again. Had another question. This is just an idea and with my limited knowledge I'm not sure if its a good one. If I was to buy an STI model, how hard would it be to put an RS motor in temporarily while I'm on my Ps? After this I'd bolt all the STI parts back in and have a real STI. I would like...

Its suprsingly easy to not get caught with a turbo. My brother has a 1jz cressida and just got off his Ps. A cop pulled him over to check out his car. Opened the bonnet shined his torch directly on the intercooler, then on the snail. Didnt notice a thing wrong. He did get caught eventually when he d...

Thanks I thought the RS was what I was looking for. When I'm off my Ps I would like to do some performance modifications. So what are the key differences between them? I assume the suspension, drive train and body are the same. Obviously the engine has different tuning and parts to compensate for th...

Closest model to non turbo WRX?

Hey guys just joined here and considering buying an Impreza for my first "street" car. I am about to buy my second car, another jeep, and want something a bit nicer to drive daily. I am hoping to spend $6000-$8000 and want a performance car which handles very well and is P plate legal in Victoria. O...
