Hey guys! Here’s a link to my second channel if you are into racing games!! youtube.com/@giggity632

Owned an is300 with 240k miles did all the major maintenance, thing still drove like a dream cannot reccommend it any more, regret selling it :,)

The link is now added in the description, sorry about that I forgot to add it when writing description lol

I love the 3000GT. What you forgot to mention is the 3000GT from 1997-1999 base model is the only one starting around 170 HP. Previous years span at around 210-220. They also have AERO mode spoiler, tunable exhaust and a performance mode for shocks that stiffens them. Also rear whee steering. Id love one they’re insanely under-appreciated.

I bought my IS300 back in October 2021 for about $3200. For 200k miles it was in fantastic condition, it was bone stock and wasn't beat to a pulp. The more I drive it, the more I love it. I can't wait to actually start modding it, but I do wanna get all the maintenance and small stuff done first. After that, its go time.

This is one of the most underrated car lost of all time.. you definitely did your research. I can totally vouch for this list 💪🏽

Bro I’m Australian and thought the Mitsubishi 3000gt would be sick so I check price and it’s like minimum $30k aud. I wish there were more lists that accommodate for us aussies :(

Love your video!! Enjoying it Still!!

Hey brother love the content, im a new sub and i can confidently say I'll be a daily viewer! Wanted to say love the fact that the 3000gt makes your list, I'm currently building one and there awsome and extremely underrated, the 3000gt certified beast👌😍 ill be posting build updates, LETS GOO! Keep the content going I love it man ur great and very different from others on here!

I used to own a 1987 z31 and it was fun to drive. Underpowered and heavy, but I loved the smooth as butter 5 speed... just beautiful. Great sounding car, and don't forget those popups and t-tops!! The 300ZX Z31 only made 160hp unless you had the turbo engine, both of which you can get under 5k like you said

From one Mark to another... Good job on this list👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Love the vid, props for searching all the footage and putting it together, vid very well-put together. Keep doin what ur doin!

I'm happy to see you have an accord up there. They definitely don't get the recognition they deserve but I feel like the cd5/7 accords are more underrated than the cb7.

Love your vids keep up the good work 👍

This was dope!!

Lmao love this video, and caught the Dark Souls theme in the background

For a beginner I’d also recommend the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliarts. Nowhere near the level as an Evo but still fun to modify and lots of interchangeable parts with evos as well. Price ranges around 2-4 k.

Lmao the Dark Souls theme☠️. Keep up the great videos bru.

I love your channel!

Thanks for the vid, love the RX-7

I got an old Sentra as my first car cause it’s all I could afford, once you do the proper maintenance and play around with some aftermarket upgrades these cars handle so smoothly

Love the bugeye. The USDM Hawkeye was sold as a 2.55/2.57 though, they produce roughly 250/300 hp respectively and are drastically different than their 2 liter cousins because of their significantly higher low end torque. Also they blow up more ;)

Thank you fot this

My first and only car right now is an accord cb7 and I love it. Great for getting into the car scene.

Really appreciate how you mention that the car is either Rwd, Fwd or Awd. Much love from Mozambique!

those are some pretty good choices . prices can vary from state to state and even cities as well as for american sold models the mid range 222 hp 3000gt and dodge stealth are a good option and can still be found in the 5k range. the 160 hp Z31 are still under 5k the 200 hp turbo models are trickling up though an H22 swap in the accord is a good upgrade the 1.3 liter base RX7s starting with 146 hp then 160 hp from 89-91 are surprisingly fun with 227 hp and awd the wrx is a good all around for year round fun the american sw20s with the 2.2 engine 130hp engine was not a power house but you could build on to it. it is a shame that they did not ship over the BEAMS 3SGE models The 250-260hp depending on years LS400s are really good cruisers ive owned almost every car on the list and im always happy to see peoples till enjoying these vehicles

i see you, you lowkey gamer. i heard that skyrim overworld music. nice vid.

i have only watched a few of this guys videos but he reminds me of og tim the tat man back when he only had a laptop, and the ammount of work this guy is putting into these videos is truly amazing, i dont know why he is doing these videos wether its to get out of his current situation or just because he likes to but either way this dude deserves the world.

Love cb7! The popular swap for accords are h series motors. They come out of the prelude. Which is another golden honda! The f series motor that come in them are food for boost. So even tho it's a single jingle, people love em.

The F22 in the accord has a sleeved block from the factory, meaning it is great for boost. If you don't want a turbo, the other option is to swap in a twin cam H series.

So happy the accords got some recognition and love 🔥🔥

I’ve said this to my friends so many goddamn times. The cb7, the sentra, and the acura are so underrated, thank u for noticing the potential 🙌

I’m a Acura rsx owner 06 I love this little car it truly does deserve the top spot it was my saving grace when I was homeless so I really appreciate seeing the praise the car gets

Man uses Skyrim and now DS music 🤣 I love it

The RSX is in my top 5 favorite cars of all time. Good call!

Love your channel

The 5th gen celica is criminally underrated

I'm interested in the JDM cars. Ironically all the car videos you showed seemed to be all LHD. Driving on the wrong side of the car takes some getting used to. Back in the UK I bought a 71 Firebird Formula 455. It was 4 spd manual but had the stupid foot brake instead of a hand break which made hill starts a bit of a challenge. Driving on the wrong side of the road for the most part was fine but over taking was always a bit of a gamble. Getting back to JDM cars, do you have any recommendations for places to look?

THE SKYRIM MUSIC YOU MADE THE BEST CHOICE I SUBBED JUST FOR THAT KEEP THINGS THAT THAT GOIN BROTHER FUCK YEAA

Thanx for the info...

Hey, could you do a top (jdm or not) cars we can found in europe? Price are a lot higher in general for your selection (thanks for your videos btw :D)

Cb7 come stock with f22. H22 swaps are the go to cause they basically drop in. Same mounts. 140hp to 200hp real quick.

I love that you put the rsx as #1:) it is an amazing car

Been looking for an RSX Type S for ages, to upgrade my base rsx. Hard to find under 5k for the Type S, BUT thank you for making this beauty no. 1!!

There are a few questionable remarks in this video… 1. Rotary reliability - if you properly maintain and premix an NA rotary, it will be extremely reliable. Even turbo rotaries are reliable if you tune them right and properly manage the heat generated (I’ve owned and modified a FD RX7). 2. The 3KGT VR4, if you find one for under 5k, you better have 10k to get it road worthy… probably more! I had a 92 VR4, just to fix the trans synchros in 2001 was $3500.

I saw a running z31 sell near me for $2k. it was amazing condition. I tried to snag it but couldnt come up with enough in time. it sold in like a day it was crazy

so nice how bright everything looks rn

oooh this gonna be a banger i alr know

Celica, Prelude, and Eclipse should all be on this list.

I agree that the 3000GT is underrated, but if you can find one for under 5k that isn't ridiculously high miles or completely a beater, then I'd be shocked...When I purchased mine, it was a 1997 VR-4 and I got it for just over 39K. Mind you this was low miles and relatively good paint so there was that factor. However I would like to note that they come with serious mechanical issues if they haven't had much attention over there lifespan and my buddy and I have poured a little over 18K extra in repairs and cosmetics just to make it run in good condition. I got mine for a bargain in the grand scheme of the market for these cars which I find the good ones approaching 50-60K. Like I said, not impossible to find a beaten up one with high miles for cheap, but you're going to spend a fortune on repairs. I'd also like to note that the SL model does go for a little cheaper towards the 20-30K range, and finding any of the 1990-1993 3000GT's will make you pay extra due to the rarity of the Active Aero, tunable exhaust, etc. Things that would later be removed in the 3rd generation VR-4 models in 1994-1999.

Nice to see someone giving the NB miata some credit :)

Totally slept on

WRXs are SKYROCKETING in price rn, you cannot find a decent one under like 15k nowadays bro it’s sad 😔

Should have added the mr2 spyder to the list, but it's a good list 👍

Oblivion sound track! Nice hahah

Love the vids my man. I’m in Montreal and I’m struggling to find deals. Could you make a vid on that

I'm in the tri-state area and I cant find any rsx type s for 5k or lower. Everything up here is 7-12k

Mitsubishi Galant (6,7,8th gen) is also a dirt cheap car that you can get in a v6(exept for the 6th gen)or the 4g63

Nice vid

love the skyrim music on the 3000gt, i drive a vr4 and i love skyrim, really gets me

been struggling to find an IS300 for

2004 spec v has 180 hp with 170 lbft. With bolt ons goes easily to 200, vq swaps are very common and plug and play.

Appreciate the Dark Souls background music. 👌

The early 00s sentra Spec-V is a great manual transmission daily driver with a suspension that says "you can feel the entire road" i loved it back in the day

Z31 is already around 10k here in europe......prices are crazy Also since you weren't sure if honda makes an F series motor when you were talking about the CB7 accord.........that accord only came with F series motors lol

would love to see a top 15 jdm cars under 10 grand ( add a integra in )

I’m a sucker for flip up lights and lines. Those old 300Z’s are absolutely gorgeous.

I currently own A Subaru Sambar, SW20 Toyota MR2 and a Toyota Mark II sedan. You might find a car for under 5k but it’s going to cost you about the same in import fees. The MR2 you showed was left hand drive stateside they are going for 14k+

Damn I wish I could find a mr2 for under 5k.

Love JDMs all my heart but sadly all these prices do not exist in Poland Only 300zx under 5K was one with smashed front

just noticed skyrim ambient sound in the background, loved it.

Finally the spec v getting some love. Amazing cars they come alive on windy roads only competition is si and s2000

What you use to record and edit your vids ?

Finding an fc under 5K is a stretch

Finally 5k😁 N hell yeah RSX💪🔥

Yes the CB7 is my favorite accord, it's just such a sleek and cool looking car.

I want the fc rx7 as my first car- In aus they're about 30k, for a non turbo one, well, that's my research so far.

agree to disagree the bug eye is my favorite looking car

Super underrated car is the Honda Accord 6th gen it doesn’t have a lot of aftermarket parts but once you find good o po arts and wheels your all set 🙏 pls add this in a video

13:31 I’ve had my 94 LS400 for almost a year now picked it up for $1300 the interior is a little rough and it’s relatively high mileage but I absolutely adore it!

The main driftcars in my country is the c33,c35 laurel and the a31 ceferio😌

fc rx7 has a 1.3l not 1.2l

So glad the spec v on here

You're finally awake my dear FC.

I think the 2012 Nissan Sentra SpecV was ok, it had like 200hp

Only real ones know where the background music near the beginning is from

i love the skyrim music in the background😂

Love you brother

I got a new edge mustang. Parts are easier than hell to find, and if you wanna go cheap they’re cheap as hell. Also, pretty reliable for what they are. ALSO, v easy to work on.

Skyrim again 🤣

Hey Mark! I just watched your video and (a while ago) bought an SW20 turbo, it's currently on stilts because i'm working on it lmfao

Keep on doing it

Mazda mx5 nb are not underrated at all, especially nb2, they are very desirable

you say the 3000GT is under rated but the Celica 5 and 6th gen base model are even more underrated.

12:29 When I was younger, my mom owned an LS400 and I remember zooming down the freeway. So much fun.

That Skyrim music filling me with nostalgia!

do a cheap american car list 👍

theres nothing under 5k if the car is in decent shape lol...... everythins worth a pot of gold right now

I think you should put a disclaimer on the Honda civic, although it is cheap to build and is reliable at FBO level, as soon as you start full blown rebuilding the car, the longevity of pretty much everything goes out the window. It becomes extremely unpredictable and parts will constantly break (this is also dependent on the builders skills). Now most parts are cheap but the aftermarket parts fluctuate but are going up, especially on older harder to find parts.

Here’s a fun fact for the Honda Accord. If you get an ex model, you can drill a couple holes in a turbo eclipse manifold and it’ll bolt right up and work. I did this back in the early 2000s
