u may be underestimating the WRX...it is very driver friendly...easy to drive, easy to handle, feels safe, predictable, not edgy like some other turbo cars...can drive slowly like a normal car, and when pushed, still easy to handle...

adding a turbo to a NA 1.6 may not be as easy as you think, and may not be as cheap as you think...and reliability is questionable, yet you cannot get much power...limited by up to 0.4 bar boost maybe?

if you are lucky, putting in a 2.0 turbo engine may not cost too much (for GC8 lah at least) as the ver1/2 WRX halfcuts are not that expensive...it is also easier to just transplant whole engine, instead of hybrid a turbo into NA engine...of course getting an STI halfcut will burn your pocket lah...

We have a gathering tonite...go to

Info

Can u give the address for the location in s'pore

so far my GC8C48D WRX (MY94) dun feel like RWD...not like FWD either...quite neutral, mild understeer actually...easy to drive and handle...predictable...friendly...

2-door GC8...only 2 in Malaysia i think...and one is my friend's...expect to pay like 20K more than the 4 door model...because rare and better handling...stiffer chassis...

i can get 320km out of RM58 of petrol...but i'm light footed...

why people selling...car is old after all...most of the ones for sale are the 1992 to 1996 models...9 to 13 years old...

many upgraded to the GDA/GDB, so people like me can have opportunity to own these old GC8...now only car i canthink off upgrading in the future is...another subaru...

maintenance...except for the nitty gritty usual stuff of old turbo cars, the car is very hardy...engine tahan lasak, chassis does not rust easily, parts are not super expensive (can get cheaper from Singapore)(cheaper than Evo parts)

the car also has a unique exhaust note, and has some kind of cult following...it is more than a car...it is like a way of life...

i'm happy to have the car...
