Check this out... its a very nicely decked out 2002 Celica that a bud of mine just got yesterday. Its got less then 25000 km on it. Rear seats have never been sat in. TRD exhaust (sounds sweet) AEM cold air intake and a lot more. Check out the gallery and let me know what you think.
We are going to put on a underdrive aluminum pulley kit this summer and look at putting on the VVTL-I head instead of the VVT-I head. This is the GT not the GT-S which had problems with the 6 speed. Very fast car and has lots of power right through to 7400 RPMS!

Yeah the 280Z was a sweet car, now too see that with a turbo 2.3L would be sweet!

Any foreign car likers out there?
I don't like all cars - only the ones with four wheels...
"Ooh, nice Celica... wow, cool Porsche... lookit that Hudson... sweet Model T... check out the Bugatti... " (sigh... Pathetic :no:)

I want a Nissan Skyline so bad. I've been in love with them ever since I first read about them.

But Hooptie is a loser, thus spends most of his time chasing storms and researching everything possible that was made outside of the US.

My daily driver is a 93 Probe SE that is kinda rough but it runs good and was cheap.
before that I was driving a 93 Mercury Capri XR2 turbo. Engine went out and I sold it.

My daily driver is a 2002 Mazda Protege5. At least it's 1/3 Ford in theory!
and FYI the Skyline has been around since the 50s ;)

Lotus Europa, Pantera, Bricklin, Opal Manta.... I could continue with the odd ball imports that I like but will never own.

If its Detomaso, I'll take a Longchamp GTS
Or we could go older and I'll take a Detomaso Valellunga.
Maybe a Bizzarini or a Monteverdi Hai.

I don't care much for foreign cars but if I had to pick one- 1970-1978 Lincoln-Mercury Capris.

I love imports, especially ones with lots of graphics, blinging rims, fart cannons, and giant spoilers. They make me laugh my ass off and look great in my rear-view mirror.

I had one of those. "Mini Vette" fun little car.
I like VWs (aircooled) and about anything that ever rolled off the Porsche line. And oddly enough for my size (6'2" 300+) I'd like to have a Mini (original Mini).

Yeah, me too. :D I had a few beetles and a bus back when I was a teenager. I'd love to get a twin to my '67 Bug. It was a 12V and originally painted red.

Holy crap! I go away for a 1/2 a day lol and boom! This threads outta here! The detamaso is is a nice car, but my favorite is the Lamborghini Countach.
Let's see. I had a 61 Beetle, and a 1982 Skyline (a.k.a. the best looking Skylines... ;) )
I'd have to say aircooled VW's and the Ford RS200's were my favorite imports. Although I'll only be able to own the VW. That's what I'm gonna look for around September after my move.

In this case we'd call the XR a Sierra XR4i.

This is my 2nd Favorite import..
http://www.pontiacs.org/pics/lilgreen1.jpg
This was my friend Wayne's Triumph Spitfire.
Powered by a 300hp 4.3 chev with bowtie heads
T-5 Trans, 240Z 200mm 3.91 rear, 2400lbs with driver..
It was a scary ride!
The Camaro in the background is a 67 RS/SS with a Dual Quad 502
After this one he built a 70 240Z with a 480hp SBC.
It had a TKO 5 speed and ran 11.73 @127 on it's first trip to the track..
Cancer get the best of Wayne and he never did get to race it again.
