It's one of the more popular cars since the earlier days of drifting. Under-powered by today's standards, but still popular

^^^

But it was not always popular... at least not on this side of the earth.

In Japan is another story but in America it was only known after Initial D.


But think about it... there are good reasons for it's popularity...

Cheap
Rear wheeldrive
Under 2200lbs with full body
Almost 50 / 50 weight distribution
Tons of aftermaket support
Lots of engine swap options well documented

This car is the ultimate beater... Is 23 years old and the chasis is still really tight. Everything works ok.

Is a great car to learn some driving skills...


Back in the day... this car was way ahead of his time!
