Not exactly for me but, I've been looking for someone else... anyway

80's to MAYBE early 90's.... I'm thinking along the lines of AWD, or Turbo, or RWD ect ( But not like 5.0's or Camaro's ect, cars that are a little less played )...

What I can think of myself:
Cressida's
Obviously any earily Supra
MK1 MR2's
ST165 AllTrac Celica's
Z31's no intercooler, and a pain to work on, no aftermarket support
Starion/Conquests same as above, but even weaker
Mitsu Galant VR4 DSM drivetrain = broken parts
280z's
240z's
1st-2nd gen rx7's
Trueno's

Anything else to add? Thanks

I commented on some, the rest are cool.

personally, I want to get a C3 vette and drop an LS1 in it and DD it...

I had a late 80's 626/MX6 turbo fun little car, had like a TEMS (of Mazda) controller.

Also DSM's

Maybe Taurus SHO's? (I have no clue/info on these though)

Z31's aren't that bad... and I would only get a Starion to throw a Supra motor in it hehe. Galant's and DSM's just break because they get TOO much traction... if it was pretty mild modding it would be fine... most likely. Besides, I like the cars that aren't played out.

loki, mines a mk2, and pretty much in boxes right now, the years have not been kind to it, with a bit of hail damage, it'd been backed into, and it's sadly been sitting a couple of years, but nit before it's had about 500k miles put onn it.

hail will mostly be taken care of with a sliding ragtop, and new front end sheetmetal.i'll throw in some euro bumpers and headlights.before the motor blew, had replaced the cis-e injection with webber carb, and swapped it to 5 speed from auto, made a huge difference, next motor will be with big valve head, g-grind cam, keep the webber and add headder. thankfully yhe ignition components are seperate from fuel, makes working on it a snap, and i am failiar enough with it to do a tranny swap in about 45 to an hour, with snow flying and cold ass concrete out i the open
