What's something like a Chaser that you can get in the US?

>>14957030
I helped two different friends swap in a W55/58 into an 89/89 Cressida.

Literally 3 hours of work.

>>14957030
Something new, you mean?

Is 4-doors a requirement?

>>14957211
No, actually hoping for pre-2000 because of styling, and 4 doors is not a requirement, but 4 seats is. I can't do 2 anymore

Manual, fuel efficient, four-seat, RWD pre-2000 highway car. What's your budget?

>>14957281
About 5k. Whenever I check craigslist all that comes up is E36's

The answer to your question is E34 5-series.

Why do you want a manual in your highway car?

Anything like that will be auto only in North America

If you don't mind AWD instead of RWD you could get a legacy or impeza

Chaser is not 4 seats. Its 5 or 6.

Japanese full size luxury cars are a new level of automotive pretentiousness for me. If I had lots of disposable income, I would import one. All it would need is fender mirrors and it would be perfect. Perfect in every way.

Import a toyota century

OP you may want a big coupe. How big are SC300 backseats?

Otherwise, BMWs are your best option unless you go really old like a Datsun 510 (barely in your price range).

It sucks how we have so few options for fuel efficient, RWD, manual sedans.

>>14957403
I just had a flash back to a memory I never had by looking at this car. We were kids and we all were saddling up to go to the pool with mom on a late morning in the summer. We were in our swim suits and we had our pool noodles and floaties. We all got into the new 77 Chevrolet Caprice and we drove away under the hot Tennessee sun...

>>14957877
it was weird to me that the shifter was on the left and the indicator is on the right

I have a question about imports. If I were to import a 2002 WRX from Japan, which is the same as the ones sold in America, would I be able to register if because it is "sufficiently similar" or would it not be allowed just because it's RHD?
I'm asking because there are a bunch of WRXs on japan-partner.com for way less than they cost in America, even including Import costs.

>>14958204
No, Subaru hasn't said they're the same in crash tests since RHD and LHD are individually tested. And they'll never say they're the same because they have nothing to gain and everything to lose

>>14957030
mx 73
740 Turbo
910 maxima
bmw e34
mercedes 190E

are all good sedans/wagons from around that era that have factory m/t.

740 turbo is super comfy and redblock stronk

>>14957811
There's a pretty big problem with importing a Century. Namely that you'd have one of a handful of them in your country. Getting parts, especially for the engine, will be pretty hard. It is the only v12 Toyota.
Plus they were all handmade.

>>14958514
W55 is the only direct fit though without having to modify the trans tunnel

>I want a highway car that's manual

>>14958473
Any century OP could legally import would be a hemi v8 not a v12

>>14958617
If OP lived in Canada or Straya, they could definitely get the v12.

>>14958540

What engine did they have?

>>14958662
I sure didn't read the OP. I just saw the fancy JDM luxury car and clicked in the thread.

850 is fwd and the never offered a usdm turbo model with the m/t.

You are this dumb.

>>14957313
Why wouldn't you?

>>14958514
R154 is a fucking meme. 5x the price for a trans that maybe holds maybe 80 HP more. Pathetic. A fucking built R154 costs more than a stock V160 that can already holds 600HP.

>>14958540
W55 and W58 are the same, except for the slightly different bell housing.

On the previous note, I picked up a R154 with a JZ bell housing from some retard for $300. Shit goes for $700 without a bell housing.
