Stutopia Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 They seem to be available at not unaffordable prices and look like a ton of fun and are obviously JDM as **** The Internet at large says the transmission is made of chocolate, but a few owner forums say they're not as bad as that if the cars are stock and not hammered. Curious if anyone's ever owned one and how they rated it. Could it be a fun daily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I suggested some time back (just before buying the R33) about getting one of these as a fun car and I think it was Ricey who raced onto the thread and said I would be an effin jeffin chav if I got one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a future classic surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Ive not owned one but know plenty that have ........ when they work they are great but they have problems with just about everything. They probably will achieve classic status but I doubt you could find a standard one these days. Rarer but much better is the Mazda 323 GTR, even rarer than that is a Starlet 4x4 and youre bordering on Evo 4/5 money too. If you can live with FWD the Glanzas are excellent too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 They are that awesome that Polyphony Digital took them out of every Gran Turismo game since the 2nd! Could beat game in 20 mins with it. Only 22 left on the roads apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_Steady Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I've been on the scout for one for a while now, have driven a few and boy, they can move in standard guise. The gear box isn't as bad as you may think and there is a trick to saving it from being minced by doing something to it. Not sure what "it" is but you can easily get 300hp out of it with the standard turbo, box and supporting mods and show a much more expensive car your arse. To me it's the most beautiful car in the world. I love them. I had one a few years back and I should've never sold it. As a daily runner in standard form its O.k, not great. I used to get 30mpg out of it when I wasn't caining it. But the metal is thin and they are rattily, and you know you're in an early 90s car, that's for sure. But, and it's a big but, Handling set up correctly and with mild modifications, back seats out and rattily bits tapped down they can be really quick and an absolute hoot to boot about in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) My mate is cracked on them. His is lethal, an incredibly quick motor. Always winding up Porsche, Beamer, Jag and Audis, they just don't see him coming. And yeah, he's always fixing or tweaking it. Very fun go kart.
