Colorado general chat...

I was kinda thinking about those, it is just hard to find any info about them for track use as most are used for drifting. I know that the 240sx can be pretty good with wide tires and there are tons of suspension options. I just don't know how good, if that good is in relation to other Japanese cars or all cars in general. I would imagine they are decent and probably have decent relations with the r32 or r33 Skylines which are monsters on the track at the Tsukuba time attack races.

S13? But good luck finding a stock one lol.

Miata?

rwd car
good on track
reasonable price
Japanese

Pick 3, because there's no way you'll get all four.

[325ix]

Honestly I'm not sure. I'm still learning these things

There is a tag on the diff that tells you.

BrrARrArAAAAAaAp!

Yeah, I know I can't get all four, but I am looking for something that is a decent combination of those ideals. I am thinking an s13 would be nice. There is way too much aftermarket support suspension wise and they can fit decently wide tires under them.

S13? But good luck finding a stock one lol.

Miata?

I was thinking s13, if it is auto it will most likely be stock. I can't do the Miata, S2000? Hell yeah!

^I would drive that in a heart beat!

Can anyone recommend another rwd car that is going to be good on the track for a reasonable price? Preferably something Japanese, I have wanted something from over there for a long time, I just don't know much about how they drive. I know they have tons of aftermarket support.

Define reasonable price?

Great track cars that are japanese:
Mazda Miata
Honda S2000
Honda Prelude
Acura Integra
Mazda RX7
Mazda RX8
Honda Civic
Mitsubishi Evo
Subaru Impreza/WRX
Datsun 240z
Nissan 240sx/S13/S14/S15

Not all of those are RWD, but they are all capable of being track monsters.

AE86 Corolla?

I hear they weigh like 2200 lbs and make 130 hp, and can be lightened to like 1500 lbs very easily, which gives you a great hp/lb ratio.

Aftermarket support is quickly dwindling for those.

And the price isn't anywhere close to reasonable for what you get.

[Bimmerman325i]

And the price isn't anywhere close to reasonable for what you get.

Yup. It's an ancient car with incredibly wobbly chassis. Not something I'd try to get into, even if it is light weight. Chassis needs to be stiff.

Great track cars that are japanese:
Mazda Miata - would be very hard for me to drive this
Honda S2000 - too expensive
Honda Prelude - too ugly
Acura Integra - I like these but I don't really like fwd
Mazda RX7 - I like the FD, too expensive though
Mazda RX8 - too expensive and ugly
Honda Civic - again fwd, already had one and loved it to death, in fact my first car, I wouldn't mind an EG hatch
Mitsubishi Evo - too expensive and I already have awd
Subaru Impreza/WRX-see above
Datsun 240z - hard to find
Nissan 240sx/S13/S14/S15 - I think this is my best bet. Aftermarket support, cheap and easy to find. I like the looks.

The civic and integra are second and third on the list for being obtainable for me.

EG Hatch! I love those things...



mmm

Have you driven a Miata though? They are amazing cars. Slow, but awesome.

Talk to Chris about the Integra, he just bought one.

My issue with the S13/14 is that too many of them have become drift toys. Find a nice clean one and rock the shit out of it though.

Other cars you should consider, since you haven't mentioned a budget:

early Porsche Boxster
Toyota Supra
<993 Porsche 911

[325ix]

I like those and the EP3s.

mmm

you're joking right? please tell me you're joking.

You met me at the wings night right? 18y/o =/= Porsche. I will look into a Miata, to me they just would make me feel akward, I'm not a fan of Verts. I am not worried about overall speed.

I think the s13 really will be the ticket, they seem to be good on the track and I want to make one that isn't a drift car.
