Well the interior of the SC is more comfortable of course. But I completely changed the interior of my STi. Its all black now. Black suede headliner, rear seat, black Recaros up front and oem black carpet and floor matts.

My friend has a Mr2, its not my type of car plus i like power steering
I kept thinking about that e36 m3, its one of the cars i will own at some point of my life, but not now i can't keep up with the maintenance with that.


Well hopefully a 05 STi will come by me for the right price and if not a 04. Most likely i'll be looking as spring ends.

Common now Alex!

I'd say do the 1JZ/R154 swap but you prob won't so looks like STi.

Oh wells, you got time to figure it out.

I second the gsxr option. There's no feeling like riding. Accceleration alone puts my need for speed to rest and I haven't even talked about hanging on turns.

Plus, with 1000cc bike, you can smoke 99% of what's on the road.

These cars are so much fun to drive and cheap to modify to be fast.

I agree, 240sx are cheap, handles nicely and are fast if swapped. Living in Cali doesn't give me the privilege to do the swap without been harassed by the cops. My brother had a sr20 on his s13 and got popped and had to sell the car.
