Car Suggestion

>Subaru

Get him an Impreza

>>16229037
Find a 2.5RS, and do a father-son STI swap.

>>16229037
>Front or all wheel drive would be necessary

If he has a different DD I don't see why this is the case

anyways

Miata
Nissan Z car
subaru impreza (first gen coupe with the 2.2)

>me and the mrs both have a subaru
Then it's settled, get him an evo

>>16229089
We would be replacing his lexus, no room for 5 cars, and it would be nice not to spend so much.

has to be fun, front-wheel or all wheel drive, no turbo and japanese..

here you go

>>16229079
This looks like a really promising car. Seems hard to find though

>>16229091
This, if you want your son to do better than you have, get him the subaru killer

Also I would have been hype as fuck if my dad bought me an evo at 17

Volvo 700 series or a 244

>>16229167
>Subaru killer
On the track? Sure. On the trail? Not even close.

>>16229181
Haha, true

>>16229181
Brings up the question: are you guys looking for a track-esque car, or a rally car?

>>16229202
He has always been a fan of rally and the culture that comes with it, ever since we played some rally game on the Xbox when he was 5 or so. But this car is not going to be something he would actually rally in.

>>16229111
Can't tell if this is stupid or genius

>>16229208
Then I'd say either look for a 2004-2007 STI, a 2.5RS to engine swap, or a first gen Impreza to engine swap.

>>16229230
Hardmode: Import a 1992 WRX from Japan next year. They turn 25 next year.

>>16229091
Forester and outback, there's no competition going on here

>>16229297
He would absolutely love to do this, I'm just not sure where in the Nebraska area you would go.

Take out a large life insurance on him and get him a turbo crx.

>>16229037
Get him a 3-pot Geo Metro.

Cheap to insure and loads of fun, and they sound GREAT straight-piped.

>>16229037
Dont buy a subaru. absolute money pits. NZ has the highest ownership of subarus outside japan.

if you are considering doing a car project together, dont pick something in the too easy basket. how about a old japanese classic car: something like a toyota crown or nissan 260C or a nissan prince/gloria or a old mazda?

Legacy or SVX

>>16229167

>Subaru killer

Only the evo 8 and 9 were better.. every single other generation was bested by subarus equivalent.

get a celica

confirmed get him an OBS, best car ever

>>16229142
you think you're joking, but that looks awesome

>>16229037
Forester XT's are super fun after you give them an STi conversion.

>>16229037
cheapest bet would be a civic. Modded, they can produce quite a bit of power.

Get your son an Alto and your family will rule the touge for generations

>>16230979
I'm not as much of a fan of how they look

Get him a Datsun 120Y and swap some V6 engine on it

Get an evo. Less head gaskets and more power

>>16229037
Can you be my dad?

It was banned in street drifting because it put Nissan to shame.

Might just be me but I wouldn't replace my DD with a project car. You'll need garage space to work on a project car anyway so you're gonna have space problems regardless from the sounds of things.

I would recommend a 350z, they are pretty fun to drive and under 10k now

>>16234358
Looking more around 3k

>sounds gud

>fast
>cheap as fuk
>bulletproof engine
>guaranteed to need some work since its 15-20 years old
Not really sure about safety, but parts are about as cheap as they get for japanese cars, and with a haynes manual you can do anything

in the US, bug eye imprezas like op pic were non turbo until i think 2003

you can get non turbo bug eyes pretty cheap, and you'll probably have to fix them because people treat subarus like shit because
>lol they dont break!

im telling you now though, if you have to fix the headgasket, just forget about it

>>16233466
Evos are way less reliable than Subarus

>>16235737
In what way? I'm curious how something with fewer gaskets, cams, and lacking a split block is much less reliable.
