Got a Decision to Make in the Next Year

[MrScary]

Ok so right now I have a 92 Talon TSi. I love the car for the most part. Its got some problems: body is bad, bad axle and I need a new wastegate prolly. Well I traded my Subaru SVX for this and the guy owes me about a grand still. Me and my dad are thinking about maybe just taking back the SVX and giving the Talon back to this guy, and get some money maybe. Well I'm tryin to decide what I wanna get for a car, I'm in the military and I get my signing bonus next summer. Which is about 10k or more. I was looking at 02-03 WRX, Evo 7 or 8, or DA or DC Integra, or I would mod the talon if I kept that or the SVX if I got that back.

What do ya'll think??

It doesn't matter what car you get just loose the DSM whatever you do.

[Jim]

Get rid of the DSM asap, just wait till your tranny goes or something

[MrScary]

Well I was pretty much planning on losing the DSM. So now lets hear some opinions on the other cars I listed

[KA-T_240]

evo, or 04+sti.

[weshole]

I'm torn between the STI and the EVO. But (I'm probably gonna get flamed over this one) I think the EVO is easier to tune initially.

BMW M3 (E36), you can get some nice ones for around 20-25k (<u>Here</u> is a clean example). While maybe not as fast as an Evo or STi, you do get a nice upgrade in class. Plus the aftermarket is huge for these cars.

Around here there is more proven power being made with the 4G63 found in the evo/dsm. I'm admittedly a Subie guy, but I will give Mitsubishi its due by saying they make one hell of a car that can be made quick easier than the USDM subarus....now give me a Spec-C S204 and it's a whole different argument.

[amicheze]

get a wrx or try to find a used sti in your price range.

[MrScary]

Yea the STi might be a little out of my range. And really I think the Imprezas are just a little too flashy for me. I like the Evo just a little better. And I didn't think about the M3, I've seen some that are closer to my price range too.

[MrScary]

So I was lookin at EVOs and damn even they are way out of my price range. Unless I wanna make payments which I would rather not. Right not its looking like the M3 is my best option. Unless I go with like an Integra or Honda just to save some money for mods.

If an STi or Evo are out of your price range, an M3 is definately out of your price range.
Go Honda/Acura.

ya and the M3's mods are going to be more expensive as well as parts and repairs. why not save the money and save up and get something you really want, not just spend it to spend it. even if it take a year longer. sell the dsm and buy a good EG or something that well be reliable. and then keep if for a second car when you buy an evo, sti, M3 or what ever, cause you might not want to drive it everyday

[MrScary]

I was lookin at the E36 M3s. They go for around 10 grand or so. Yea I think I might just get an EG or a DA for now.

I'm gonna give him a call and see whats wrong with it. Don't understand what, "needs to be wired" means

[PSiedTSi]

It means the swap still needs to be wired.

[MrScary]

Ahh fuck, thats what I thought. But it also says "runs great"
