    Default Favorite old school imports

    Just what the title says...what's yours? I decided to keep the EP as a daily, I think, but instead I'm going to buy an older import to build, and I'm just trying to get some ideas. No EFs or anything like that, nothing against them, but I've done it. I want something else...like maybe late 60's through mid 80's imports. Post 'Em up.

    Is that not an RX3?

    I also like the Mitsubishi Galant GTO. Haha...I like that mini-muscle car style of old Japanese cars.

    I think it may be. The only one I've ever seen in person though was an all out race car, so it didn't quite look like that.

    Hmmm yea...for some reason I only see those as race cars. I looked up some RX3s...I don't think that's what it is.

    How much did you pay for that thing anyways? If you don't mind telling me naughty secrets, that is.

    You know, it's harder than one might think to find a first gen Civic that isn't thrashed to hell. QD, yours really looks to be in pretty good shape, and I'm definately feeling it.

    -Id say old school Z car (240, 260, 280 their all good choices).
    -510 if you got some money to spend or know where one is thats a steal if its a low budget.
    -Mk2 Celica Supra (1982-1985) Cheap to buy, and fairly rare on the road.
    -Starion/conquest, but only reccomended if your at least pretty mechanically inclined.
    -CVCC
    -First Gen Rx7

    Thats a decent list...

    Referring to the blue car that Hypno posted, im pretty sure thats a 70's model Toyota Celica GT. Also a pretty cool choice

    Hmmm...I may have to look around for one of those celicas. 1st Gen RX-7 was my very first car, and finding pictures of it were what inspired my change of heart on cars. They're getting a little hard to find for a decent price these days though. I paid $650 for my old one.

    here's my '71 celica with a 18rg. stock 145 HP but i was pushing more than that with little up grades. these are cheap to fix up. a decent body will run about 1000 and a used 18rg/tranny will run another $1000. fix the interior, lip kits, and paint and you'll sure love the car. =)

    I love Rx7s. I've owned two first gens and a handful on second gens.
    The 1st gens are hard to find, but still around.

    Actually, i sold my last rx7 to a good friend and he still has it. I know for a while he had it up for sale for like 900 bucks, but i can't remember if he decided to keep it. Needed paint and interior, but ran like a top and had a straight body.

    Oh and i hear ya on the $650 part. I paid 600 for my first one, and 500 for the other lol.

    Fixed, but other than that you are very right. I know plenty of Ferrari/Lambo owners that have mad love for the 2000gt.

    My favorite 1987 Mazda 626 GT Turbo. 2.0 Single cam, non intercooled, IHI RHB5 that runs 8-12 psi, electronic suspension. Even has a turbo light that lights up once the turbo spools up, so unquie. I should have kept this car...

    The Celica and the C10 Skyline GTR are my favorites that have been posted so far. Good luck on finding a 2000GT...only 351 were made.

    ^I was going to post that but I didn't think it'd be "old school".

    That one is done up REALLY nicely...looks very sharp.
