turbo 4, preferably rwd but the choices are SLIM for 9... thats why i said i am between a s14 and an eclipse. i know the eclipse is fwd but damn the 98-99 are sexy as shit stock. one of only a handful of cars i find attractive completely stock

get an old school 240 SX........kinda cheap..and RWD

[flacopower]

^^^^^ lol trust me the thought has crossed my mind. they are VERY cheap...

[ACC0RD22]

Ae86?

Ae86?

Finding one of those on the east coast not rusted to hell would be almost impossible I'd think.

9K?

Early 90's 300zx
Early 90's RX7

a mid 90's Camaro/Firebird with room for bolt ons...

etc.

If you can FIND an AE86 I would be surprised. My thoughts are go with the S14. Mitsu's are crap. Poor reliability, mediocre power, riddled with problems... It'd be too much work just to keep it running. Besides, you run the risk of frying the piston rings and damaging your intake manifold, resulting in a catastrophic amount of pressure to your floor board nuts.

I've always harbored a secret love for the S14. Even the S13 has always made me go . And with the growing popularity of drifting, the aftermarket is exploding with parts for the beasts. If you look hard enough, I'm sure you might even be able to locate an S15. the S15 is teh win!!1!!!!!1eleven!1

Ae86?

You need to watch some Initial D mang. You'll really understand why this is such a popluar car. I'll enclose a pic of sorts.



Also known as the Corrola here in the states. it came in a flip up head light version known as the trueno, seen here, and a stationary head light version known as the levin. AE86 is the chassis code, just like CB7 is our chassis code. Can't quite remember what year they came in this style though. I do know that this style was the last time toyota made the corrola RWD.

why does everyone hate mistsu so much?? i think they have as many problems as other cars... my friend has one running 18 psi daily on stock internals with no prob but then i have a friend with a gsx that can't keep his car running to save his life. it all depends on how the car is treated.

Ask your friend with the GSX if the crankwalk light came on lol

well i know for all you import guys its hard to think but, get a turbo mustang (late 80s) there is a shit load of parts out for them and you can get them dirt cheap. Or even a 5.0 mustang. I would get a truck (i.e. 4.0 Ranger or v8 Dakota) Both run 15s with mild mods. and the v8 Dakota will eat vipers with the right modding. i have seen them hit 12s daily driven. But a 4.0 Ranger (auto mind you) with intake, chip, headers, cat-back will run deep in the 15s. Just food for thought.


FUNCTION!!! Hual ass

Oh boy. You're going to hate me for this...but wasn't the SVO mustang made in 84-87, and don't they have very low production numbers? It was the 2.3L turbo, used the in XR4Ti and Turbo Coupe I believe.

But I support what you're saying. Of course I wouldnt' choose a Mustang and get a 4th gen F-body instead, but yeah, there's some good domestics out there.

[flacopower]

no domestics for me homie... no v8's either
