Coolest 'normal' cars you can think of

I parked next to one of these at a Safeway awhile back.

I see you too like blowing trannies.

...

Does anyone know if '90s JDM hot hatches are any good/reliable? A seller near me has imports of a Starlet GT EP82, Mitsubishi Colt GTI and Toyota Glanza. Are any of these worth buying for €5/6k?

I know next to nothing about those, but if they're essentially Celica GT-Four/Lancer Evo gear stuffed into a small hatch they should be pretty solid since those drivetrains were actually built to handle serious power, unlike and .

My brother owns an EP82 with factory LSD pushing around 200hp on stock internals. Great little cars that are rare, reliable, very light and handle great once you get a rear anti roll bar, front and rear strut brace and good tires.

...

Also worth noting the EP82 and Glanza are near identical mechanically but I'd go for the Glanza as it has a newer slightly better turbo (CT9B I believe) and looks prettier imo.

So many in the UK

I think the maxima is a pretty nice car, the design is pretty good, especially the front, one of Nissans last good designed cars,

Saab 9-3 turbo X

I see your turbo X and raise you this

Imo those are one of the coolest hot hatch "shitboxes". They seem extremely fast since they basically have more hp than other hot hatches from the early 2000s and are only weigh 870 kgs

...

coolest van

Definitely, and once you get it running around 300hp, they'll bully a lot of modern hot hatches on the roads too. There was a really old option video I saw on youtube showing a tuned ep82 beating an R34 GTR on the wangan and around the track which goes to show how fun those cars can be.

Lotus Carlton is awesome, they seem to be fetching high prices nowadays too

i love me a saab 900

Damn this car is fun though

Toyota Crown, bounds ahead of any other vehicle for their time and you can get a fully loaded 6th-8th gen for under $4000 with like 20,000km on it. plus theres 200 million of them around

Love these things

some bong threw supercharger on one with dogbox
thing looked scary fast

there are 6 for sale in my whole country. (mixed gens)

> Have a 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero

So close and yet so far.

VR-4 galant.
older brother of the evo, stopped receiving as much love and attention as the evo once it started to show how good it was. typical.

i've never seen another one besides my own in person. only 4 doors, which are everywhere.

SRT8 Magnum

One of the better sleepers of the 90's.
Obese, but that woke kind of obese.

there's also its rival car, the sequential turbo third gen legacy.
both of them can be bought pretty cheaply as well. the twin turbo legacy's go for less than a grand in japan, and they average like 2k here in aus.

>woke

I wish more cars were like the Twingo

>unique adorable design
>practical
>cheap

Does this count as normal?

if its a fast one nothing inside a starlet will be stock. Your best bet will be to get a mechanic who knows about JDM stuff to have a look.

Starlets are dope tho, lots of fun

I've always liked crewmans

No, this is perfection.

>clio v6
>common

Here's a more common car.

I wouldnt call an Evo common, an Evo 2 sold for not far under 150k near me last year.

Obviously. But it's more common than what OP posted.

Cobras make me hard

This is very uncommon
At least here in the Netherlands

he said 'normal' not 'normie'

I only ever saw one in my life, and it was in absolute showroom condition.

So why did you posted it?

My parents had one of these for a month when I was too young to remember it and to this day say it was the best car they had driven.
I think it was the 3.0.

They've only driven 3>yr old German cars for the past 15 years and swear by them too, so I guess props to this car for breaking the German is best rhetoric when my parents bring it up.

I think the one imported in my country is a stock version, maybe slight tweaks but it has a 135hp engine and no other mods/ricing as far as I could tell

Knowing I will never own a turbo manual in exactly that condition will forever pain me....

how poor/black are you?

So an "A-traktor"?

Twingo 2 was okay, but only the facelift i found a little okay, though it defenately lost his happy face. Twingo 3 is a sin.. really can't see why they did away with the moveable back seats
