It's already been too long
Believe it or not. And the trunks were huge so it was usable too. And that neat electric rear window.
Needs the new Civic 1.5T motor and updated styling.
My baby
>>16277678
I almost got one with 66k miles this year. I didn't get it because the owner cut the springs and every panel was fucked, mismatched tires, and the roof was leaking

A real Z car, none of this bloated pigfat shit with 1980s dashboards we have now.
2.5L turbo 6 would be a nice start if they can keep the weight under 3000lb. (I never thought I'd say that. 3000 fucking lb is considered light today)
>>16277839
its pretty much all i could want in a car. big v8, big comfort. only thing it needs is a manual gearbox, but those are quite rare.
I really want a new celica GT4. Toyota needs to step it up. Doesn't even need to be a celica. Just something turbo, with a real AWD system, and with a manual transmission.
>>16277688
I feel like Toyota would have to make another MR2 before GM would resurrect Pontiac and revive the Fiero.
>>16277917
They could revive it as a Chevy and call it the Corvair for all I care. I just want a new MR GM econobox with a 4 cylinder or a V6.
>>16277910
Well technically, they can do it. They have all the parts. The Auris/Corolla iM has an AWD variant IIRC, and they have that new 2.0L Turbo in the Lexus IS200t and NX200t. All they really need is a 6 speed manual and a nice DCT automatic because that would sell. If there has to be an automatic (and knowing the buying public, there does have to be one), I'd prefer it be a DCT
None of that hybrid bullshit. Just an incredibly reliable, sportier version of the Civic.

Just bought a 2011...jesus fugg, this thing is a beast.
260hp that feels like 360hp. RWD. Body on frame. Feels like you're driving a goddamn tank everywhere. Bash plates all over the bottom, you can run over anything and not give a fuck. Washable interior with no stupid carpets to get shitty and gross. Manual transmission if you want it. Proper 4WD with a dedicated transfer case and shifter. Guys getting +600,000km on their engines without a rebuild.
North Americans are fucking retarded, this thing is 10x better in design and build quality than a Wrangler, yet it failed to sell at even a fraction of the rate that Jeeps did.
Why are you so retarded North America? Why can't you recognize an amazing vehicle when you see it?

Toyota doesn't hire shills, it's why Scion failed. It's also why the FJ failed.
If they shilled harder, like Chrysler with their CALL OF DUTY packages and maximum blacked out niggermode packages, they'd be selling swarms of FRS and FJs.

Come on Mazda, just give us another cute coupe based on your family hatchback (or better yet, your sporty roadster) and give it another tiny V6 that sounds absolutely amazing.
>>16279869
holy fuck that is some twisted conspiracy you've concocted

The FJ is actually p cool, though.

>>16279889

FJ failed because it's was an irrelevant, overpriced, ugly nostalgia circle jerk over at the Toy factory. It's such classical Toyota arrogance that causes them to blame everyone else for failure of a product nobody wanted.

>I thought there was no difference in the running gear between the [STi and Forester 2.5XT]?
The Engine is very similar (but slightly different) and is effectively the same. The turbo is smaller on the XT. The XT has the breakable 5-speed. The STi has THREE glorious limited slip differentials which I'm guessing the XT does not have. I've had an STi; I want an XT.
>>16280060
If you had the STi, why do you want the XT? Was your STi an Impreza or Forester?

I want a new integra but i dont because they will ruin it just like every other restart of cars recently. ie nsx, civic, probably the new supra, the new cancelles hybrid rx9.
>>16280060
Actually the 5 speed in the foresters were known to be stronger than the WRX five speeds. Possibly because of the 4.44fd though
>>16277710
Would have gotten one of those but parts are probably hard to find in the USA and expensive so I got a Xterra instead

>>16282742
I might agree if we're speaking of 1st gen Mazda3. Later one's are just meme tier mom cars
>>16282751
Yeah, first gen 3 was what I implied, but the second gen wasn't far off compared to the latest gen
>>16282742
The 3 never got all the variations the 323 had, though. Just hatch and sedan.
No coupe, no wagon, no AWD rally homologation special...
ten years ago my father drove his little honda civic out of the driveway and never came back; he was hit by a drunk driver.
Sometimes I still expect that little silver piece of shit to come clanking into the drive around 4 pm.
>>16282782
323F BJ only had hatch and sedan as well.
And i doubt it had AWD, unless US-spec Protege5 had variantions?
>>16277691
more like boosted k20a mid engine rwd keep rear hatch glass so you's can see it all
>>16282797
Nah, just protege5, no other trims, just options packages
>>16282797
I'll admit I was talking about multiple generations of 323, the BG GT-X, GT-R and GT-Ae are the rally homologation specials.

/thread
I'd like to see another Subaru pickup. Not a 4-door only like the Outback Baja, but an actual 2-door mini-truck
>>16282804
So, basically, Protege = basic EU-spec 323F with low power and Protege5 = EU-spec 323F Sportive with higher power? Fucking hell with their market variations and renaming, cluttered shit. Too bad Yurop didn't have Protege5 for sale, kinda jelly.
>>16282806
Oh right, those were beasts and quite rare.
>>16282836
Nah nah nah, 323=protege, 323F = Protege5
The only high power model is the Mazdaspeed Protege which only came in 4 doors
Every engine in the Protege lineup was a FS in one form or another, but no ZE model
>>16282853
This is an EU-market 323F, sold in other parts of the world as the Astina. I think this gen was based on the BJ 323/Protege.
>>16282884
Oh, nah definitely didn't have one of those, or the Lantis, only the base style 4 and 5 door hatch
>>16282853
Oh fuck, right, totally forgot US got hatch variants as well. I always thought US only had base Protege and Protege5 was something like Mazdaspeed. So, with my mistakes, I want US-spec Mazdaspeed Protege in the end. Wonder why they didn't make hatch Mazdaspeed. Fucking Yurop with their shitty low-powered variants. I bet there's more BMW M3 than non-M3 in US.
>>16282897
I personally have a bit of a soft spot for the BG Astina/323F. Identical to the regular hatchback underneath, but now with popups.
>>16282884
This was *probably* facelifted 323F BA (before it had pop-up headlights), which also was sold in Europe under the 323F name.
>>16282817
>tfw no gf to go sanding with
Also fun fact, Reagan had one of these and kept it all the way to 98.
>>16282915
Mazda hated the US and never gave us any of the interesting models of the 323/Protege, fucking pisses me off the Japs thought the USA wouldn't like sports variants of cars
>>16282909
>I bet there's more M3s than non-M3s in the US
You would be mistaken friend, typical people here can't afford an M3 anymore than a 328
>>16282957
>328i is standart for US market
>tfw stuck with 320d wagons
Shitto. But that's because BMW is expensive to maintain, so Japs are probably mostly powerful variants.
>tfw US gets coupe civics with lowest of 120HP power
>Europe in the meantime has mostly 70HP models
>>16280221
Only if they bring it back as rwd, v8, and with a manual trans.
>>16282943
Reagan was such a bro and the fact that he drove a brat makes him that much better
>>16277772
Had these been RWD, probably would have shit on the Miata. I will always be sour at Honda for being so dug into FWD.
>>16277910
I have said it more than once: Toyots needs to fill the spot the Evo left. Subaru has the affordable, AWD sports car market cornered.
I want Suzuki back and I want the SX4 back. Fuck that S-cross BS they're trying to foist in other countries as an SX4.
>>16284049
At least they made the S2000.
>>16284089
No more Suzuki in North America :(
There's still shitloads of those SX4's left though.
>>16281585
i have seen exactly one of these in the wild and I was blown away
>>16284089
Is it true you can swap the Kizashi engines in them?
>>16284603
Dunno why you would. Most Zuki engines are low compression, have decently strong internals and like boost.
>>16284603
Well the Kizashi engine is just a stroked version of the SX4 2.0L, so yea. Bolts right in.
Personally, I'd forgo the swap and just install a turbo kit.
http://roadracemotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_48_33&products_id=345
There's even a kit for the automatic cars, but it's $100 more expensive.
From what I found on the Suzuki forums, you can modify forged Honda B-series pistons to work.
This is what i dream of coming back.
>>16284619
But there was two versions of the J20, the A (non-vvti) and B(vvti), was there any differences in the blocks between the two? From what I've read the only difference between the 20 and 24 is the bores but they don't say if there's a difference in the blocks
But I agree that the RRM kit would be better on the J20A, shame they can't tune it for shit

>>16284671
>There are differences, but they're minor
So you're saying you can swap a Kizashi into an SX4 AWD and it'll bolt up to the manual trans?
>>16284684
yes
>>16284706
Fucking sweet, new project to salivate over
>>16284711
it's never been done to my knowledge but the engine mounts are in the same place, the crankshaft's the same, and the transmission bolt pattern is the same. You'll likely have to use a piggyback ECU to modify the tune for it, but if you plan on turboing anyways, it isn't that big a deal since you'd need one anyways.
>>16277678

>>16284717
I was just doing more research, and the J23 from the Aerio has been mentioned as a definite swap candidate
>External mount points are the same
>Stroke is the same and has the same rods as the J20A
>J20A crank will drop in
The only problem I'm seeing with doing either the Kizashi or Aerio engines is pistons, as in there are none
>>16284758
>The only problem I'm seeing with doing either the Kizashi or Aerio engines is pistons, as in there are none
You can get Honda B-series pistons to work if you can order them in the diameter you need
>>16284822
I know that works with a J20A with modifications done by a machinist using B20 pistons, but I don't think that will work for either the J23 or J24
>>16284756
I liked the older versions they made.
The old 4 wheel drive ones were cool.
Not literal 4WD but just 4 wheel turning.
>>16285081
The term you're thinking of is 4 wheel steering, or 4WS for short

I know you're just trolling, but that would be the equivalent of that company just flushing money down the toilet. Brand image establishes itself through continually producing quality vehicles; not clinging to the past.

Sounds like VTEC kicked in too late.

Because those cars barely sell in appreciable numbers. In the US, the MX-5 gets 300-1000 sales a month. 86 was doing better at around 1500-2000 a month for the first couple of years, then around 1000-1500 a month since.
When Nissan replaces the Z it'll probably be another Cayman wannabe. Although who knows, they might just kill it and tell people to go get a 4-banger Q60/G37

except they're working to release a pickup body style of the next generation Wrangler. Not the same thing, but close enough since it'll go against the F150

You can have your turbo. I want one with that 330+ HP 3.6L V6

>tfw no new relatively cheap FR cars with a turbo trim and a manual option
>>16279808
Build quality and design are useless when they're applied to a vehicle that fucking ugly.

or you could just buy a yj/xj/tj and go actual offroading for 1/8th the price as opposed to mall crawling and fire roading.
