MR2 AW11
Supra A60
RX7 FC
R32 (less realistic i guess)

looking hard for an MR2, currently drive a stock '90 cressida. My family keeps trying to talk me out of buying an old car. They want me to get a civic and they probably won't help me out if I get an older car but hopefully I can find something good under $5,000

Funny you should say that, there's a kit out to mount a transverse 350 SBC

There's also similar kits for LS V8's that aren't the LS4.

It's fun to drive, gets a lot of comments from drifters. the I6 and the 130k mileage gets them excited. Just trying to sell it for a decent price but I fucked the front wheel up in an accident so it may take me a while. Not a fan of the color either, wish it was charcoal

Always wanted one.

240z or FB Rx7 for sure.
Both of them are terrible to find in PA. I've even thought of flying to Arizona to buy a non rusty 240z, cost 9k down there are 25k up here. Absolutely retarded.

To be fair though, it's really the A110 that is crazy expensive.
Later models are neither very rare nor that expensive in France. They are not cheap but still attainable.

They won't fit. The engine is too wide. That chassis was designed for a pushrod flat 4. Not a DOHC or SOHC flat 4. I looked into it when I realized I loved the styling but not the engines.

I want a z31 so bad
i initially wanted the 2+2 but I'm thinking of getting the 2 seater

>>16507691
If you can, aim for a later model turbo. Looks nicer, and it's easy enough to squeeze out a fair few extra horses by adding an intercooler and upping the boost.

1st gen Nistune also works on the Z31 ECUs, definitely worth looking into.

>>16504758
hnnng I want this so bad
a bit heavy though and floppy chassis I hear.
worst part is trying to find something good. even knowing the engine doesn't always help since there are big hp differences even for the same displacement engine.

>>16507701
there's quite a lot of late turbos here. But I kind of wanted the 4 seater since I'm a young guy and I figure having the possibility to carry people could help my social life which doesn't exist

>>16507725
I owned an early model 2+2 and there was barely enough leg room for children in the back, adults would have a really tough time fitting in there unless you and your front passenger are both quite short.

They're also a bit of a cunt to work on, the VG30E was a mess of wiring and spaghetti, I can't even imagine what the ET would be like.

>>16507231
Mines better than a gslse

Did it come with the 13B? I vaguely remember the Aussies had a 12A turbo option sometime in the FB era as well.

>>16507844
12a but doesn't matter they are both gutless as stock
12at was only option in Japan.

>12a but doesn't matter

AHA GOTCHA

I kid, I'm sure the 13B was not much better. I only ever drove a 12A SA and FB myself. As far as I'm concerned, the best thing about the -SE was the wheels although the LSD and all-disc brakes would have been nice to have as well. I really like those stock wheels.

>>16507750
>adults would have a really tough time fitting in there unless you and your front passenger are both quite short.

well I must be in luck, since I'm a turbo manlet

I need to move drivers seats almost all the way front to push the clutch fully
