what cars are in the 15-20k bracket that fit the following, looking at cheaper options to see if any grab me sufficiently to sway me from the 35k+ evo x

small/medium sized car, dont need a land yacht.

Turbo (minor mods will net ~200kw+)

decent factory options (if they have them and what), cruise, ok stereo, auto wipers/lights etc

fairly new 06+

can be had with fairly low km, 50-80,000km

so far the list is

Ford XR5 (5 cyl volvo engine (do rate), only comes in manual)

Mazda 3 MPS (good engine, bit laggy but makes butt loads of torque, only comes in manual)

WRX (has boxer engine, dont mind the sound, but not sure if i want that sound ALL the time)

Ralliart Lancer (Has DSG ONLY, but from owners of them i have been told the suspension is quite pedestrian as are the brakes)

MK 5 Golf GTi (Has DSG option, almost all have 100-150+ km, not the best of the GTI models, engines are a bit weak if modded much)

FWD is for teh gheys....

If after reading this your list has narrowed to 2 options, that is acceptable

If it is narrowed to 3, then GTFO

For that bracket/specifications he'd only have WRX, not STi though... I don't mind the hatch look itself. WRX was gonna be my suggestion, though.

Golfs, would only want an R really but they're more monies... same with the Sirocco (also it's fwd... should have made it awd like the R)... maybe mkv R32 or GTD ?

Thought about any euros besides the golf?

Not sure on prices, and they're probably into large car territory, but fg f6 is pretty powahhh. Or maybe xr6t?

Or you know... Just buy the X :P

MPS certainly doesnt float my boat, even though im FWD biased. Ugly, large, relatively heavy and somewhat complicated engine from what I can gather.

XR5 turbo comes recommended, but I'd go a bit further and go volvo personally. 3" inch straight through, tune and LSD and you're done

whos the biggest wanker here...

the gym wanker with spindles.

the bro curling wanker in the back ground?

no its the phone wanker in the gym. f**k you mate.

closely followed by everyone who ever went to a gym.

Xr6t , don't mind them but it's large and I don't need a car that big.

Haven't looked at other euros, don't want anything horribly expensive to fix though.

2 votes for the wrx hatch

2 votes for the xr5

my vote only counts for WRX if STI - otherwise vote defaults to evo 9 which I added to your list whether you like it or not

from what I understand it's a BP motor, same as the mazda GTR. That being the case it would be pretty to get 200kw from with no issues, and at 1 tonne that's pretty damn fun!

what's the gearbox like though, is it made of glass like the GTR?

Go to the gym, do your thing and go home.

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
