Don't know if this is in the right section but her goes,i might have to sell the Z my wife is pregnant with our first child need some advice on a car i have in mind it's a subaru legacy gt-b twin turbo i think not bad spec for the money one on ebay at the mo for £2500 with 57000 miles on it and only imported last year anybody had one or know anyone thats had one any advice welcome.:cry:

The Subaru Legacys are not bad cars and very cheap for what they are. Most are autos though (not sure if that is an issue to you). They also suffer from what owners call the 'valley of death' when accelerating due to the turbos being sequential. Basically the turbo that spools up first runs out of puff before the second kicks in, which leaves a 'hole' in the power. I do believe that it can be almost eliminated by remapping the ecu though.

 

Have you also considered the Nissan Stagea? Quite a few about, same engine as the Skyline R33 Gts (RB25DET) and reasonably cheap to buy. That would probably be my choice.

stagea gets my vote, more reliable and a lot more load lugging capacity, you can pick them up for 2-2.5k in good nick, plus if you wanna go manual, all the stuff from the skyline can be used :cool:

Another alternative is the Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4, they are very competant cars, and bloody quick
