Something i can really tinker with and fix myself without having to code everything. The only stuff i could do to this car is bodywork, interior retrim and go fast parts. None of which i can afford. Ive maxed out my possibilities.

    if i had the money id go with a scion or a genesis. i need rwd in my life. but instead im probably gonna go with a mk3 or a 240 if i decide to sell. i can do so much more with something that i dont have to pay payments on.

    I work for a Toyota-scion dealership, and from driving both the manual and automatic scion fr-s on the highway and other various places, i do believe you will be disappointed if you were to purchase one. The car might as well be fwd, and is extremely slow. I was disappointed when i drove the car, just a heads up to anyone whos interested in it...

    i kinda figured it would be. probably about the same as the 4 banger non-turbo imprezas. but speed things can be fixed. if i had a car like that i would focus more on performance than looks.

    Eh ive done the power stuff on old euro metal a few times and it cost way more. every time my turbo e30 broke it was at least a grand lol. But if you decide to start selling stuff off let me know. I'm getting sick of oogling your car everyday when I see it anyways

    Ehh dont sell the car for something older. You would likely need to spend a good amount of money to get all the repairs up to snuff before you can start to mod with out much hassel. Just remember there is a reason you got ride of the old MKIV for a MKV.

    In all honsety I am sick of being slammed at times and motor wise we are about the same. I like the ride height look but hate the daily doesnt help that my suspension is on the way out and need to replace it within the next year. What I have decided to to do myself is some H&R suspension have a modest to low drop so the handling doesnt start to suffer a bunch run beefier tires and new adapters for the rear to get ride of the negative camber that is eating tires up. Start to auto x the car and try and have some fun with it. I was ready to talk to quirk about trading in my car for a 08 .:R they had but didnt want anymore payments since I am about a year away from paying it off.

    Hope those wheels go to a good home.

    yeah i feel ya man. i agree with everything your saying. the only upside to having an older car is learning to work on it yourself and having parts cost half as much. im gonna be raising it a bit if i get 18's again. and it will be a more corner worthy setup.

    I had a 2.5, sold it, bought a 350z because I wanted RWD and blah blah...

    It IS fun to have a fast RWD go-cart, but fast forward 4 years - and I'm back in a Jetta because I wanted a car that can do more than just go fast and corner.

    Got nothing more to add, good luck with your decision making, it is always a trade off.

    oh i know man, the biggest kicker is just having a car that i dont have to pay monthly on. its still all up in the air. i probably wont sell my car, but if someone asks me how much, i wont hesitate to give them a price either.
