If you live in the u.s. You arent going to find an ek9 or eg.
Just playing i know what cars you mean. But thats the kind of stuff you'll get around here.

Are you into looks/speed/handling/mpg/rarity?

if you dont wanna spent to much... get your car, get a swap, and keep it bone stock. my project coast me around 7to8k and that is just the swap plus the NA buld( engine, engine parts, suspension, wheels, and exhaust) not including the car.

thats smart alot of people get one here and start rattling off the turbo kits and performance suspension parts they want when they don't even really know what they are. Just do your research

How old are you? When will you be getting the car?
