what about the Nissan route? a silvia or skyline? then you have the choice of buying something cheap and n/a, and buying turbo bits later, or buying something turbo to start with? Unfortunately it will attract the wrong type of admirer...

Look for one of these in manual, has the same 6 spd box as the STI WRX's from memory. Not quite 200kw (190kw I think), awesome motor to drive, and have all the luxury gear as well, much nicer build etc than the WRX's.

Update:
The front right side is still about 10mm lower than the front left, so either the chassis has moved a little over the past 19-years or something else is wrong to cause that one side to sit slightly higher than the other.
