[c1v1c]

honda civic's man! Also like the skyline gtr. i think i dont need any pictures of them.

[supra0405]

yeah civics are pretty sweet, there was a race wars thing around here back in march, and there was this guy with a 1993 civic EG hatchback running high 11's- low 12's he was beating GTO's and Stangs ;)

[DrIfToRDIe]

Honda Integra Type R!That thing has to me favorite JDM car or the the regular Cura Integra DA But thats me

[RedSXmodder]

Nissan 240sx, or a Toyata AE86 Treuno...

Later,
RedSXmodder

[supra0405]

Yeah 240SX's are pretty sic stock cars, and integras OH GOD lol ive seen a few RHD ones around here. and my freinds bro has a RHD 240sx (silvia)

[Mugen_tom]

The NSX all the way for me! :D :D :D Super overall car. (but not the best) I fancy the 90's models over the 00's models though. :p The ITR is also a great one, they're mean FWD sob's if properly tuned!!

[supra0405]

yup i agree the 90's car series are the best :)

[darkendblades]

hmm i would have to say a a integra me and my bro have one maybe i should get some pics and post it up

[supra0405]

yeah that would be great, i almost bought an 89 integra for 300 bucks, but it had alot of prolems

[vietazndude]

i dont have a favorite, but i like
Silvia S13, evo 9, skyline R33

[BlackSky909]

Nissan 300zx TT

[REDisFASTER]

Nissan 300zx TT

Brap! Brap! Z32 FTW! Yeah!

For me, I'm starting to have a thing for a nice '92 Lan Evo III GSR. Yes, like the one you can start off with in GT4. Its a nice car.

But my absolute favorite is a tie between a 1991 Silvia K's Aero (S13) in dark olive green metallic, and a 1998 Silvia K's Aero (S14) in black or a 1996 in white.

[Numbchux]

duh :)

[dr1ftGTR]

Toyota Supra, Lexus IS300, and Nissan Skyline GTR

[THE EDJ]

quite possibly the coolest looking japanese car ever built, the Mazda FD3S

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107/EDJ_RIDER/FD3S.jpg

And I gotta show some love to the Honda, with my personal favorite, the VTEC, Glass Top CRX Si

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107/EDJ_RIDER/JDMCRXSi.jpg

And my overall favorite car ever built, ever

[noturday]

one of these with a twin turbo would be simply amazing

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/noturday/s2kwithlambos.jpg
thats a fast 4 banger

[THE EDJ]

why would you twin turbo a 4 cylinder honda? i'm just thinking that really does not make any sense at all. although the S2000 is a cool car

[noturday]

i would probably drop a honda v6 in it and twin turbo that, and why would i do it? because no one would expect it out of a honda, and it teh only rwd honda so its awesome

[Sweed]

Turbo? The Honda's rev high, and a high-end turbo would get you lots of power of the upper range. Torque will be lacking (as ussual), but you get over that. It's a small, lightweight car anyways..

I'll take a 1991 Honda CRX in White with a K20a...

My personal favorite is the CRX or the original Honda's, like the AZ600's and the Original Civics....

[meme405]

lol if there was no background i could mistake it for an xmod...

[taiwanesekid05]

man... i had a whole list somewhere... oh well.

Honda Civic
Honda S2000
Honda Integra
Honda NSX
BMW M3
Toyota Supra
Mercedes Benz C-Class AMG

and some more... later.

[NinjaMonkeyx26]

i would have to go with the same as THE EDJ, that rx7 f'n rox.... i want one T_T

and what the heck is that last thing lol...

[taiwanesekid05]

Chux would know that.

well, the 2.0 4 cylinder 237 BHP V-TEC engine does have the most hp per lieter in it's class (correct me if i'm worng(now that chux said it, most hp per liter for PISTON cars.))... so a twin turbo would give it that extra little oomph... imagine that thing in a civic... heh heh...

[noturday]

its actually a 2.2L with 237 hp of couse its V-tech, and it would fly in a civic. sadly my dad's accord v6 had more HP and torque than the s2k. so if i got an s2k i'd drop a v6 in it and put at least one turbo on it. that would be a sweet honda

the S2000 has the highest hp/displacement ratio of any piston-powered car. the rotaries beat it by a mile.

problem comes when only 2.0l of air try to rotate a big turbo. get comfy, cause it'll be awhile before the power comes.

just read about the rx-7 on wikipedia.

the FD has a 1.3 lieter engine with 255 hp. you were right. huh. compared to the s2000"s 100 or so hp per lieter is a lot.

[NON_SKID]

a Fiat 500. coolest car when done right

But in the past the Rotary (Valken Motor?) was ineffieciant (horrible gas milage) and wore out fast.. But they've been used on Airplanes for a hundred years for thier sheer power.

[noturday]

is it still considered an import it it's a GM company, but its only in Austrailia?
you would still have to import it if you wanted it in the US.

i just found this thing last night and its amazing

its a Holden Crewman SS
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/noturday/crewmanwithavrear.jpg
it has the corvette ls2 6.0L v8

and so does this, the Holden Ute SS
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/noturday/UteSS.jpg

same thing as the crewman except its only 2dr

[xmodificationer]

HS that has a LS2? its fugly IMO but that looks like a nice sleeper...

[REDisFASTER]

But in the past the Rotary (Valken Motor?)

Wankel. Named after Felix Wankel.

Anyway, for me, it would have to be the Nissan U12 Bluebird Attesa(1989-1993 in Japan)!

We've got a variation in here in North American going under the name Nissan Stanza (1990-1992), but our rear-end and rear-window-slope is slightly boxier compared to the sleek one that the U12 Attesa has.

Like the name says, Bluebird, one of the longest running Japanese nameplates around, but its probably the most underappreciated and underestimated Nissan to go under the Bluebird marque, but yeah... Continuing with the name, Attesa. Meaning 4WD.

Here's a brief fact, the U12 Attesa (1989-1991 models) were the FIRST vehicle to be mass produced with the ever-popular SR20DET engine. You know, the engine the 240 boys are putting in their car to be JDM tyte.

The U12 was discontinued due to Nissan's financial situation at the time. They were working on two rally cars, but were only able to continue funding one. Between the U12 Bluebird Attesas and the N11 Pulsar GTi-Rs, Nissan kept the 'nicer' looking one and discontinued the U12. It was later revamped as The U13, known as the 93-95 model Altimas in North America. The SR20DET and the 4WD drivetrain was kept on the U13 models in Japan, but our Altimas came FWD. After the U13 Altima in North America, all other Altimas 1995+ have been soley American.

Back to the U12, the U12 was a counterpart to the Lancer Evolution, being its traverse-mounted, turbocharged, 2.0L 4WD characteristics. The Pulsar GTi-R was the counterpart to the many 'hatchback' rally cars.

I've owned the North American FWD version of this car at one point in time, and have regret selling it. Its impossible to find one in decent condition here in Canada... I've got a thing for this car. If given the choice over a Benz SLR McLaren and a 'decent' condition U12, even if FWD... Call me crazy, but I'm still taking the U12...

Anyway, here is a photo of a U12 Bluebird SSS Attesa Limited owned by the member Budgie of ANTRX. SSS stands for 'Super Sport Sedan'.

one of my coworkers drives a neglected Stanza. neat car.

But in the past the Rotary (Valken Motor?) was ineffieciant (horrible gas milage) and wore out fast.. But they've been used on Airplanes for a hundred years for thier sheer power.

well...the S2000 motor ain't goin for 300k miles either.

wrong rotary. aircraft rotaries are an entirely different design than automotive ones. the aircraft version of a rotary refers to an engine where the crankshaft stays stationary, and the rest of the engine (heads, pistons, etc.) rotate around it, and the prop is bolted to the cylinder block. this generated incredible amounts of torque because of the massive amounts of rotating mass. but, alas, still used pistons. the automotive version ditched pistons and crankshafts all together.

So how did it get gas? I understand that it would get TONs of power like that, but the gas and such confuses me...

Have you guys seen the air rotarty yet?

[XMDrifter]

well, my friend's bro used to have a RHD Kouki S13 (red) in mint condition and a Fairlady Z(RHD grey)

Im going to stick with my 95' nissan Maxima..
Im not into those fantasy looking cars,but dont get me wrong,they are nice..

[SPR]

that last thing was a Subaru Impreza WRX STi (remeber the lowercase i)
Chux would know that.

actually if you want to get real technical its a capital I now. in 2006 they changed from a lower case i to a cap. but they just kept the same logo since it was already trade marked.

My personal favorite is the CRX or the original Honda's, like the AZ600's and the Original Civics....

have you seen my 2 original civics?


oh and my favs

either the subaru S204

http://img.pconline.com.cn/images/bbs4/20061/3/1136218423141.jpg

or the STI forester.

http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/ForesterSTi2.jpg

yes the sti forester is a real subaru production car. not a swap. its just not a US imported car.
