This doesn't change my dream of an E30 BMW M3, but i would love a f20c swapped celica as well.

Back when imports tried to be American cars, and now American cars are more stripped down than thier gook counterparts. Good times? I don't know. They don't appeal to me that much.

anyone here have any old imports? i know someone picked up a few old rx's in the desert, but besides that i dont know.

actually, those imports are the worst peices of ---- ever made...

worse than 80s dodges...

this is where the whole japcrap stereotype came from.

the american cars in those days were far far more reliable than those

I worked with an older mechanic who worked at a toyota dealership when they first came to the us. He said they were all 30k -40k then they were ready for the junk yard.

If you haven't already, check out the galleries on the Japanese Classic Car Show website, that was what got me hooked on older imports.

Was that the show from last year cause this year was super sunny out and a few of those car were at this years show also. I love that white Celica with the F20C. The build on that thing is incredible. You should of seen what it started out as....nasty metallic brown with a vinyl top.

I think Julio has a photo of the Japanese Classic Car Show from this past October of a couple of the socal HMT crew and myself. Some of the Toyota and Mazda stuff I've never seen in real life while living here in Wisconsin. I love classic imports over anything on the right road...new...exotic...domestic..whatever. Next thing on my list is gonna be a RX3 or 71-74 Mango Corolla.

lol. The domestic youtube kids are just as bad as the ricers, they don't know ----.

One kid talked about LT4 "modifications" on a LT1. Who the ---- would pay money to upgrade a LT1 to anything LT4? Manifold = meh, camshaft = big meh. Especially after putting one in a 240? LT1 without great heads/cam = meh, too. The only motors people have put LT stock parts in are the Throttle body injected engines, the LO3 and LO5...which are useless.

---- people have the strangest impressions of american cars. V8's R UNRELYABULL!
