With the money S chassis Nissan’s are commanding these days, that would make an amazing basis for a drift build.

They also had tobhaul 1000lbs less around...

Got any pics of the completed Focus ?

Yep, but it was still called the Piranha in the game.

That’s a very nice AMX and no doubt some mid-life crisis boomer could afford it at that price. As for me, that’s the only Piranha I can drive for a loooong time.

But what if all the off-road racing I want to watch is the NORRA Mexican 1000 ? Dat rooster ‘57 chevy...

The market is bigger than just the USA though. Up here, it’s still much cheaper to run an electric car. Specially with our relatively low kWh prices and government incentives. I know I’d rock one if the infrastructure in the old part of town where I live would allow it.

They do lack crumple zones, which is mandatory in North-America.

Pretty sure Kei cars have less strict safety regs, hence the 660cc, 63hp limit.

They simply won’t pass safety regs.

The Forenza was à rebadged Daewoo Lacetti, hence it’s crappyness. Real Suzukus are always slow, but reliable and fun to drive. My family owned a 1993 Sidekick, 1999 Vitara, 2002 XL-7, 2005 Gran Vitara, 2010 SX4 Sport and 2013 SX4 Hb AWD. All if them manuals. Some of the smoothest shifting transmissions I’ve ever used…

It might be ridiculous as a special edition, but that Mitsuoka’s livery is amazing.

What the ?! I was able to do them fairly easily on my 3.1 z24 at 16. Was the first time doing any semblance of work on a car. The worst ones were the front 3. I still have scars on my knuckles from the fan shroud -_-.

Most of those are at least as quick as the beloved Fiesta ST...

Kia has come a long way since its arrival here. From laughable "I-couldn't-afford-anything-else" to something actually desirable. My brother's Forte Koup actually impresed me, despite the slushbox.

Firatthw agreddy aGTR, now thème s ? Man, I remember when D1 was 40% 86's, 45% S chassis and 15% oddball.

So...essentially a colt gt turbo with fancy aero packagr and wheels ?

Mitsubishi really was on top of their game in the late 80's-early 90's.

The hacking part might be a huge plus. Imagine uploading a custom gauge set that displays all the info that's already monitored by the ECU but not shown such as boost pressure, oil temp, lambda values, etc. I know the saab guys have been doing iy for a long time.

Pretty sure 70k only covers the engine and swap kit.
