In all actuality, i think they would support me on this, haha.

If i end up being able to get a turbo for this car, im going to keep it.
See..... my parents want to buy me a car for graduation.. im getting into U-T Austin with a 100% free ride, WOOHA. So, instead of me making them pay for college, they buy me a car.
Whoa dude! Full ride? Way to go!

Subaru WRX, Honda s2000, or being able to spend big bucks for big bang on my G20.
A well prepared turbo G20 will kick the WRX's ass on all but wet and otherwise slick surfaces.

Both of those are cool cars though.

I doubt you could buy a new AWD DET these days. A factory remanufactured one (just as good) would probably run $10k or more. Basically, you could buy a core engine and have someone build you a killer tubo engine from top to bottom for less.

Anywhere from $1,300-$1,700.

From mid $3k to however much you have, can borrow, or otherwise get your hands on.

It's Scott's or Scotty's or something like that. I have to find my Houston SCCA newsletter. That's how I found them. They are just north of the Katy Freeway and just west of the Beltway. I'll find it for you.
