Final Lap posted:80s Sucked Bullshit. These were the glory days for the Japs. Aw11 MR2, All-trac Celica, Supra MK 2 & 3, 280zx, 300zx, RX7 MK 1 & 2, 323GTX, CRX Si, etc. loving 80s rocked. Flip up head lights, boost, and mesh wheels.

Final Lap posted:I never did say that the 80's sucked. Anything from Japan made from 1980-1993 owns, and owns hard. Do'h.  Completely misread that as "cars available to America" kinda thing. Carry on.

VideoTapir posted:The Camry may have owned in terms of practicality and economy, but it never owned hard. There were always other Japanese cars that did as well but weren't so boring it hurt. You could have the Camry with a 5speed manual + V6 in those years. Way more exciting than what they are offering now.

Noise Complaint posted:http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/2377893059.html It's a bolt in affair since the Escort GT AND Probe of that generation were Mazda based and shared some motors. Only one motor mount is different than the normal Escort set. Good price if everything works properly.

Synonamess Botch posted:the only option Northstar V8 is harder (and way more expensive) than a simple 3800 swap (not even S/C). I know a local Fiero guy who has a few modified ones; - 3800 swapped daily driver - 3800 S/C swapped fast car - Son has a Northstar swapped Fiero The two 3800 swaps went super quick. The S/C swapped one not only sounds awesome, but retains some room in the engine bay to work on it.

Negromancer posted:One of the most sought after aw11's is the '85 "stripper" model(manual everything, no sunroof or any options really) since it is the lightest one ever made. Personally, my favorite is the '89, since it has the LED spoiler, and all the other nicer body parts of the 87+ models. Oh hey, I have one of those 85' stripper models and the nicer 87+body kit in the garage. AW11 heaven.

slidebite posted:For starters, nothing on the air side of that turbo at all from what I can see. I can't figure out what that small pipe at the bottom center of where they collect at the turbo flange is doing. Is it going to another turbo or something? The Nissan KA has a forged bottom end awaiting new pistons to seal the deal. They can withstand quite a lot of abuse and make that Altima move rather quickly for what it is. The tail lights (probably head lights too), paint, stupid can exhaust, decals, and wheels ruin a rather quick sleeper.

The Altima brakes of that generation are an upgrade for the USDM 240sx. The Altima came with the same brakes found on the JDM 180sx.
