Japanese sport cars from the 80s?

You can't go wrong with a 94 Honda Civic Coupe.:ohlawd:

How about a Nissan Datsun?:ooh:

RX 7 looking sweet
I won't say not to, but know what your getting into if you decide to buy one. Rx7's have a different type of engine called a Rotary. Here's a video that can explain the differences better than I could


I wouldn't suggest getting one unless you like working on cars yourself and are open to learning how rotaries operate. Cause they have their fair share of problems. Like you might need a new engine after 50,000 miles :guilty:.
They're not necessarily bad engines, but they can be a nightmare if you're not prepared to deal with em.

It's like dating a fine ass ig model

Lexus sc300 :wow:
1995-lexus-sc300

It's got the same engine as the supra, just the naturally aspirated one

And way cheaper cause it doesn't have the same fast and furious hype

They also made the sc400 which has a v8 instead of a straight 6

I might cop one day if I run across a nice one for a reasonable price :takedat:

I'd go this route, plenty of used cheap SC300s and SC400s.

If you don't care about speed, get the SC400s. Decent V8. If you want speed get the SC300 then drop a 2JZ in it.

Lexus is a great platform in regards to JDM.

SC/GS/IS. If you looking for serious performance, a 2JZ is probably the best route. But that means money and I'm not sure how much it'd cost. Something like $15,000 long term. It'd be worth it though.

Or you can get a V8 in the SC/GS models. Not a lot of power, but there's small things you can do.
