id go the B4 man but it depends what YOU want...not us

id go it because we've had STi's before as well as had an evo for a few days........the B4 is a nice big car...leather interior, good sound system.....all the goodies :)

but if you didnt need the car right away.....id be hanging out for the Twin Turbo Six STi B4...out in 2005 :)

Edit: add an r33 autech 4 door GTR to that list too :)

yeah i agree about the B4 and its goodies... not bad stuff and same with the price huh!!!!as for the STi B4 u got any piks of it??

im actually leanin towards the B4 or the Stagea 260RS if they ever come out here!!!!

i wish i could get the 4door autech skyline, but i think they were made in limited numbers... so im thinking the price for one of those would be same/if not more than a R33 GTR Vspec/II ......maybe!?!?

Well, I spose it all depends on how much you want to spend..... but I have driven both 2002 STi WRX and B4 and preffered the STi alot more. Thing that pissed me off with the B4 was the auto box, but I think the manual would be way better.

I would say both the EVO and Stagea would be better cars, but higher prices and probably higher insurnace too. With the subes you would get a warranty etc.

Twin turbo not a 100% guarantee for zippiness. Remember B4 is a heavier, more luxurious car & totally a different car to WRX. Motoring magazines keep saying that the sequence of 1st & 2nd turbo in B4 is not that great, too much lag, prob enough time for you to sip a cuppa between boost :). Still not as good as GT-R's or Supra's sequential tt system.

But WRX, different story, can't argue abt its performance, its lighter, so can go faster.

i like the idea the SUBs are bought new and have that manufacturer warranty..... with the other options they will all be 2nd hand.....

the b4 has a better power to weight ratio than the my01/02 wrx....so a subaru dealer told me.

as for the stageas...i think your in for a wait. there are a couple of 260rs's in the country at the moment, but they are unregistered and undergoing testing.

as for the STi B4, its otherwise known as the "Legacy S401..enjoy :)

No. It's a sequential setup, not like the GTR. It's delivers power nice and smooth, not in a rush. The B4 was never intended to go into production racing or street races. The power rating are all the same. It's how the car gets there that's different.

EVO's, never ridden one, but from what I've read about the 6.5 Makkinen, it's a hard ride and better left for the weekends.

Stagera with RB26 = $$$$. There not easy to find and when they are found, it's a nasty surprise to the bank account.

WRX, same $ as EVO but the EVO wins hands down.

If I was after a family car and money is not a problem, Stagera. Family car that's not too hard on the bank, B4. If I'm after hardcore performance, EVO.

Good luck.

I have been in a WRX and a B4 and I must say my impression was that the B4 pulled harder than the WRX. I prefer Liberty's to Impreza's anyday but that's just my pref. I absolutely adore EVO's and if I had the cash, would get either an EVO III or EVO V :(

why do you need 4 doors? family man?

if your not a family man, and your looking at car's of this calibre, what are you waiting for....r32 gtr, 400hp, street built, circuit ready. can pick up a nice one under 30k, 10-20k worth of mods and you'll be a *shitload* in front of any other car on that list.

if you want a 4 door, you seemed pretty cashed up, and you're not a family man and can compromise a little bit of practicality, then there is no question - EVO 5 or above. 5's you cant compliance, 6's you'll have to budget ~50k, 6.5 's budget up to ~55k to get onroad...

if you're family man, after practicality and still want 4 doors and performance then get the WRX (but which model? GC8? getting pretty old now), personally the version 6 STi (for about 40k these days) is a better bang for buck than an version 8 STi at 60k IMHO. 10k of mods on a version 6 and you'll be way infront of the version 8.

everything else IMO is boring as batshit...

Well the Nismo Stagea Autech is basically a GTR wagon and if you got the latest model would cost you almost the same as an R34 GTR. If you can get that you can pretty much sell it and buy the other 3 haha..

From what I've heard the Evo would be the best of the rest.

But if you can get a Nismo Stagea Autech why not just by an E55 AMG sedan second hand. Afterall isn't it the fastest 4 door in the world (production that is) and its a 4 door haha

    • Which are almost all nonsense. Ignore. Obviously enough, if it is not a porous block, then any such thing is a waste of time. External block surface? Would be a waste of time, if the block was actually porous. It would need to go on the inside, which is inaccessible, and even if the block was open deck so that that area was acessible, it would be unlikely to work. But seeing as this is all nonsense, stop worrying about it.   If the coolant is coming from the side of the block it is 10:1 odds that it is either a welch plug, or it is coming from the head gasket. Maybe from one of the coolant lines feeding the turbo, or even the heater. Liquids that leak from up high can travel sideways along casting surfaces or pipes, etc on the engine before finding a spot from which to drop.
    • Yeah rust is sadly also a bit of an issue on my car. Doubt there is many cars out there that actually have no rust in those aeas. The strut towers look fine but some of the surounding metal sheets show a bit of brown cancer peeking out from in between. I hope I can make do with external remedies and won't have to rip open the whole front end anytime soon. It looks somewhat minor compared to some shit I have seen online. I have worked on a few cars but I expect the RB26 to be my first 'engine out' job at some point.
    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
