SilentNight1647 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I find myself in somewhat of a unique situation I have to sell my '91 MR2 I love the car but the Navy wont ship it back with no motor in it. Spun a rod bearing three weeks ago and I figure it is time to get something new. So here I sit I want to bring the car back with me which means pre-87 model year (I transfer in August 2011). I have looked at all the common somewhat performance oriented cars but I can't seem to find anything that quite fits the bill. I'm looking to spend around 6.5k so most Z's are out of the picture (you would not believe what they go for here). I've looked into an 86 Corolla but I don't really know enough about them to make an educated descion. Any one got a suggestion for something I could pick up while I'm here?

Two80z4me Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I would say an R31 skyline or possibly a Cressida, but the AE86's are a great option as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) E70 Corolla. It's off the fanboi radar as far as I can tell. It looks like a dime to me Edited July 16, 2010 by FlatBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBlack Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Nothing is off of the fanboy radar mat. nothing. . . You can still get a running S30 for under $1000. You can't get any dime for under $1000. That's what I'm talking about. Edited July 16, 2010 by FlatBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I would say bring back something that you can actually get parts for over here in case you got into a fender bender or needed to do an engine \ tranny rebuild. It would be impractical to bring back a R30/R31 even thought they are as cool as heck..god forbid you need a fender or tail light, even in Japan they are getting rare! A KE70 really? You can pick-up those for a few hundred over here.... What about a MA70 Supra with a 1J? or AW11 MR2 Supercharged AE86 Kouki would be sweet Z31 with a RB20? S10/S11?? SA22 RX7 or FC3S RX7 TurboII? Mitsu Starion? Mazda 323 GTX / GT? Isuzu Piazza Turbo? Just some thoughts... Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentNight1647 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Looks like I am going to pick up an 86 I appreciate all the suggestions and insight. I'm still thoroughly pissed about my MR2 but life goes on we will see if the hachi is great as they claim.
