the ra 29 celicas are a good starting point for an old skool ride. The 1975 through 1977 celicas will take all m series supra motors, 1gg's and jz's. Also they don't have leaf springs in the rear, making them alot easier to get the rear suspension to work right. Coronas are similar if you are looking for a sedan. Datsun also made alot of cool cars in the 70's and the early 80's. The early s110 or 200sx has an awesome suspension and rear disc brakes (1979 through1982 or 3) They came with the naps z22 engine and would probably take a ka engine without much modification. they might even take an L28 from a 280z. The naps z engines can take a fair amount of boost also. If you can find these cars they are usually cheap. Datsun also had many different styles of the b210, and some late 1970's HL510's (not the PL510 that everyone knows) Also check outthe late 70's datsun 310 or sunny series. They are the cars that competed against the starlet for many seasons. Opals are isuzus, and Isuzu made some cool rear wheel drive cars called the gemini, or the I-mark(1984 was the last year for rwd I-marks) Also don't forget about other mazdas. The glc is a cool car and so are the early 626's(rwd) esp. the 2 door coupes. Have some patience and look around. There are many cool old skool japanese cars out there.
