Cars that are rare but shitty

What even is this?

did i win thread?

give it a 6 speed swap and sti brakes and you fix all of its problems

Why are these shit?
Is it the engine, 4wd system, or just general unreliability?

I was looking at buying one...

Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo
FWD
Aussie designed
Complete shit

Best W-body.
Had one as a rental, very nice. One of the few GM vehicles I actually liked driving and could consider owning.

Also these. Have only seen one in real life

Why do people on o keep saying this car looks good? It's hideous. And the only reason they are rare is because most are in junkyards

Capri?

Throw in a LS1 while you're at it

Auto only. Parts are hard to find. Overly complicated car.

Someone always asks, have a babby-camaro.

Take that back you fiend

If you think this counts as shitty you should cut off your dick and change your name to Caitlyn.

Auto only
V6 only

Fuck off cunt it's a great car

thats because all the boomers who bought one keep them in their garage

pic related from this summer

another one

I think it's the headlights and the Chin that trigger me. Also the fact that it's a v6

I saw one in Durham, NC yesterday on South Miami Blvd., turning onto 70 heading towards downtown. No hatch though. I almost followed the Mexican woman home.

That's a great car you dick. Veeky Forums loves the Oldsmobile Intrigue

Speak for yourself. All 80's and 90's GM is fucking shit

It's a good car but it's a death trap for inexperienced drivers who don't know about the snap oversteer

only the 4 wheel steering ones are rare but yeah, that's your mechanic's wet dream

>It's the snap oversteer meme again
Have you driven an MR?

My cousin had a tib and it was beyond shit, blew window motors on a monthly basis aswell as A/C. Brakes would grind like fuck no matter how new, handbrake would work half the time, had to manhandle into first.

The six speed in SVX is pretty much bolt on. You just need to drill some holes for the clutch pedal and thats it. Same goes for STi brakes.

>FWD shitbox
>1.8L 12 valve I4
>pop-up headlights
I've seen exactly 3 of these, all the non pop-up headlight version, all in the same pull-a-part junkyard.
Almost made me cry, dammit.

Oh hey. Didn't see you there.

Ford ZX2 S/R. Literally just an Escort ZX2 with some bolt-ons, suspension bits, short shifter, and some trim. Only 2100 made.

I almost bought one. The interior is fucking terrible, like every other early-00's Ford.

those arent rare or shitty

unless you get an automatic the automatics are complete shit

My aunt had the hatchback, pretty damn rare

>could've bought one of these for $250 from the owners front yard
>it included the weird canopy
i thought it was shit because it was small and fwd so i bought a dunnydoor off his neighbour instead for $300

>MR2
>rare

Literally all you have to do to avoid it is NOT brake or life off the accelerator while turning.

not shitty at all just unreliable and understood

>tfw you'll never be able to collect all the geos because this is so rare

toyota sera

>fwd
wat

how is it 90s jdm is still fucking so mysterious with all their weird cars im still discovering for the first time

Never fucking heard of this until your post and the Eunos Cosmo a couple of weeks back

i saw the JDM version a few years ago (Isuzu PA Nero)
I cant be the only one who thinks it's kind of pretty

I wouldn't say the Sera is shitty. It's not fast, it's basically a Starlet in a fancy dress, but it's pretty cool in it's own way.

how unreliable can they really be? wouldn't you just buy better parts when they break?

...

I belive a prizm GSi with the 4age is rarer than any storm

What about the missing 100+ HP.
230hp / 3500lbs
Come on now, or come on as fast as you can which would be pretty damn slow in that.

EG33s can take boost

you just need to play Gran Turismo

Wtf I own one of these, it doesn't run and the exhaust system fell off. Its been sitting for about 2 years now. I didn't know they were rare

It's shit, stop astroturfing with your faggot damage control and excuses you slut

>but it's pretty cool in it's own way.
Said no one ever except for a toyshill.

...

go go gadget [ S Y N T H W A V E ]

Transmission is glass, brakes are shit, and the bushing shit the bed early.

Still a REALLY cool car though, and I love seeing them on the street.

A horribly underrated car. It's a shame all the good ones are horribly overpriced.

>auto only
>Subaru only sold manual AWD SVX in my country
feels good not being a burger

no they didnt

not a single manual SVX came from the factory

all of them are AWD so no shit

It's not totally shit, it's just an inherently flawed car from the factory. Owning one is a commitment. I would own one, but I'd want to compile as complete of a list of fixes as I can before purchasing. I already know the tranny has to be replaced with one from certain Legacys/Outbacks, but there's a laundry list of other shit too.

>certain Legacy's/Outbacks
It can use any trans from any EJ car, the popular swap is the hawk eye WRX trans

MR2
>Shitty

Ah okay. I suppose what I read about it was written with the assumption that you weren't converting it to manual.

...

I would assume you would need something more powerful if you're gonna stay auto like one from an 04-05 Legacy GT

...

I would love one of these but when they go on market (which is rare) they never run right.

I would kill for one of these. Pretty much a geo metro with a halfway decent engine. Rare as hens teeth

Im hue, all SVXs here are manual, finding an auto SVX is actually quite fucking rare down here

Japan also got manual SVXs too, dont think that just because muricans cannot shift on their own all SVXs on other markets had to be auto

I think it was because the SVX was meant to be Subaru's "luxury" car, and automatics were still considered """"luxury"""" at the time in the US.

I looked at one of these before buying my first car, it was 90's green.
