Well i drove one today. My cousins 99 2.5RS........Oh boy that shit was fun as fuck. I've probably driven a AWD car 2 times before that and god damnit it was like getting a chance to have sex with that chick you always wanted to bang in high school but she would never give you the time of day until that one day 10 years later you went back to your hometown good looking and successful all the while she's working at mcdonalds but still look hot as fuck.......

In any event come next year when i get my tax returns i'm trying to put together 7K to buy an AWD impreza + go turbo with it. I'm not rich enough for a recent one and I really don't wanna finance anything......so I figure i'd go with a regular N/A impreza and throw an EJ20 in it. here's the few questions i have.

How are the differentials/transmissions on the regular impreza's VS the wrx/sti models?

How much work is it to go turbocharged on one of these?

Straight up no bullshit price, how much am I looking at to go turbo on one of these?(turbo, tuning, engine everything)

what are known things to watch out for when dealing with these cars?

Any specific year I should maybe try and get that may have an advantage over others or anything?
