Not sure if this thread has been posted, but.....
I really love the leggie, especially since the turbo upgrade it is awesome, so much power on tap and 4WD traction is great, and the 'unknown' factor on the street, but the energy one has to put in to maintain it is doing my head in!
I am wanting a fast (like 12.5 sec 1/4 mile fast) reliable (like toyota corolla reliable) and relatively easy to maintain car to drive for the next 2 years until I finish my study and go live overseas...
Am I dreaming?? Give me some options?
So far I have come up with in the $25k range
1: TOYOTA: 96-98 Supra twin turbo manual with similar mods like this. Or a chaser... From what I hear an indestructible over engineered engine and driveline and can make 350hp easy with stock turbos. Reliable and easy to maintain?
2: Evo with breathing mods, high boost and flash tune = 12.7 1/4 mile. Essentially a stock-ish reliable car?? No? Something like this
3: Mazda RX-7 something like this but from what I hear not so reliable or easy to maintain?
Give me some input!!?
