1992 Mitsubishi Expo LRV. 1.8-liter with a 5-spd. I ended up putting a custom cat back exhaust on it and a custom intake, too. At the time, I didn't really like it, but it was a hand-me-down, so I couldn't complain. It was actually a great little car. \ I ended up selling it an getting a 1999 Nissan Sentra SE Limited with the SR20DE. Lots of fun with that car, and it was my first real experience working on and racing cars. Intake, header, exhaust, KYB AGX adjustable shocks, Eibach springs, and a couple different sets of wheels/tires including these 16s.

I travelled around Japan in a 1992 Expo (named a Chariot in Japan)... and indeed, it "was actually a great little car."

I bet. Good looking ride. SR20DE is what the Infinity G20's came with, right? |

Not my first car, but my first really practical car. I bought a brand new 1978 Datsun 510 when I decided to return to school full-time. Drove this car for 4 years in Montreal and then 2 years in California. It was a great 2-door hatchback with a 5-speed stick... which was very rare way back then. The car proved exceptionally reliable with not a single problem for the 6 years I owned it. Plus, IMHO, it was a nice looking car!

Awesome cars guys and gals! Personally, I owned a 1989 Ford Escort LX that was baby blue for a first car. I was in high school and it was a good deal I got from a family friend that owned a Ford dealership. It was actually responsible for my love of small hatchbacks and rally cars. My second car was a 1986 Mazda RX-7, which I loved. It was mostly restored with new paint, new engine, GAB Motorsport wheels, and full custom dual exhaust. It was a mean car and made my neighbors hate me in the morning when I started it up (BRAP BRAP BRAP!!!) my third was a 2001 Ford Focus that I had lowered with Eibach's and mounted Ford Escort RS Cosworth rims on. I own my Yaris and my mother's old 73 Ford Mustang that's all original, California car with numbers matching. I hope to restore it and use it for my cruiser. Keep the cool cars coming, I'm really enjoying this thread.

Cool little Ford hatchy, thanks for sharing.
That RX7 sounds awesome. The 2nd and 3rd gen's are some of my all time favorite cars. |
