List: AWD under $10k

[blueapplesoda]

Nissan Hardbody 4wd....

[Deltron Dirty30]

2.5rs fer sure

[Moto-Mucci]

It's a little taller is all so essentially you just swap struts.

Then I imagine spring lengths and rates are different as well.

dont 2.5rs have bad headgasket problems?

i had a AWD legacy and i blew the engine the second day i had it. sob temp gauge kept acting crazy, over heated all the way back home and right before i pulled into my house car goess booom.

I worked with a guy who was huge into subarus and he said the ticket was to get a Forester 2.5 XT and to turn up the boost with some programming... Said the motor and turbo in the things were the same ones used in the STI and that because it had a 5 speed instead of a 6 speed that they actually did better in the quarter mile (didn't have to shift so much!)

So my vote kinda goes to the Forester XT... but that video with AWD Civic was sick!

DSM!

Yeah, I thought I put it with the post. Whoops, but yeah you just swap the spring/strut assembly instant STI toaster.

from what I've seen all Subaru's have headgasket problems. I can't think of another brand of cars that we put more headgaskets on. we have a couple customers we have put 2 or more on the same car.

I've got a 2001 BMW 325xi Touring. They are great cars, very low maintenance so far. I bought it with 98000 miles, I've put about 10 on it so far, and most of those are highway-ish miles.

Or, pick up a 330xi Coupe, also e46. Manual, mod, fun stuff.

Both can be picked up for a little less than 10k with less than 100k on the clock.

[Need4Speed1299]

325ix.

[Apps]

If I had to pick I'd take the e30 but I'm not a fan of desensitized steering...

[e34john]

I actually know a guy who has one. Bad ass car.

A kid had one back at school. His was the cooler first gen. models.

[e34john]

Try to find a used Suzuki SX4 you will still have warranty for a few years and just keep dumping money into the E30. Otherwise 2.5rs or Galant VR4 and then have 2 money pits.

Grab one a these bad boys ;)



Then you have like 7k to spend on something else. Like hookers and blow!






But yeah, get a Subaru.
