Default What to get? I知 after another scooby!!

So first time posting in ages but a couple of years ago I got rid of my blob wrx with Sti bits.. and ever since I’ve been regretting it as I went and got a 1.6 fiesta... I know stupid mistake lol but now I’m wanting another preferably another blob or a lower tax bracket hawk. I want the 2.0 ej20 rathaer than the 2.5 ej25I’d the hawk die the the horror stories of ringland failure and head gaskets and chocolate gearboxes? Is there a reason to avoid them as I’ve seen one on the bay for a good price but abit skeptikal because of the 2.5, but I really want to get back into the scooby! Help knowledge required please!!

depends on budget.

if you want a 2.0 then look for a bug sti/blob sti or bug/blob/hawk jdm

blobeye sti widetrack would be my choice, forget the wrx in any model and go for the proper model.

not sure what you mean by chocolate gearbox though

Yeah that痴 my thinking not really into the bug look and I致e heard the hawk gearboxes aren稚 that strong I thought they would have been the same but I致e read they strip syncros and just generally give out abit easier?

Theyve got got a lovely bug at paulbaileycarsales just up the road from me in Essex. Bought a few cars from him over the years and are very good to deal with.

What budget do you have as that makes the choice easier, I have my widetrack jdm in for sale section.
