I'm fortunate enough to have messed around enough to experience most of them and I share the same sentiment. I haven't owned a NA1 NSX yet but for what they're going for these days, even with rebuilt titles, a 6 Cyl Cayman or other cars with parts that aren't also unobtainium start to make more sense for similar money.

nah its fucking everything, the new import laws in the states have made the prices of shit like non turbo starlets shoot up 3x , a glanza-v is close to 10k now im happy americans can get stuff now but fuck it has fucked shit up

​@@mhtate3626I mean, you can buy a first gen R8, have money left over for a project car and a truck, or you could buy an NSX.

I want a 3000gt but parts are hard to find for older mitsubishis I’ve heard

I recently watched their Prelude video and yeah, that's just the market for Preludes. The cheap ones are junked out projects nobody ever got to. The really nice ones are museum pieces that you wouldn't even want to drive around. And the ones with around 120k and don't have any problems have tons of really stupid mods. I imagine things aren't too different for Celicas.

You don't have a babe what are you talking about?

Tell them do the worst Miatas they can find it literally never ends, there's so many of them.

I wanted one so badly back in HS (early 2000s) but my dad made the executive decision and snagged me a $4k car that would be fun to drive but not have enough power to easily get myself into trouble anytime I mashed the gas...a 91 318is. Fortunately I still have that car and have skin in the 90s prices surge game. Still want a 240 though lol. But dont want to pay 11k+ for any remotely clean example with a manual.

(don't tell this to the lunch table committee)

Mostly well off

Or in copious amounts of credit card and auto debt

OR fairly well off? Bruh, it's 90% being financially well off. The other 10% is *everything else*

Because they're the shit in drift world and 18yo's who havent worked on cars think it'd be easy to buy a clapped out beater with the interior ripped out and get it up and running because their favorite youtuber did it.

Because you have young people running on hype getting into a project that is more than likely way over their heads in skill level

Think they've got a recurring 240 video every week. Spend it on the tangy chili fusion flamin hot cheetos, those are bomb.

facts. I almost got a 155k original 350z for 8k bu the owner bailed.

@@prodyung829 that sounds really high to me tbh

@neo-filthyfrank1347 it kinda is but the market is terrible for em everyone is crashing em.

@@prodyung829 I've seen ones for about that mileage for like 5-6k tbh and nothing overtly wrong but who knows. I'm not hugely interested in the 350z so did not investigate in detail.

Im hoping they fall down here in Europe. It's been one of my dream cars since childhood, Mostly because my dad used to own one (1990 200SX Pignose). That and because of Need For Speed Undercover and Prostreet, your starter car is always a 240SX. Anyways, the market for japanese cars here in the EU is fucked, 99% because of the JDM trend in the US. I've seen a few of the big names drop in price, but the SX always stands tall. Clapped out ones start at around 9000 USD. Just picture that for a sec. 9000 USD for an unwanted project/beater 200SX. Yeahhh, no.

@@ThatTurboProbe Hey man I'm also in Europe and feel kinda the same as you! My first experience of the S13 was NFS Undercover lol, it's crazy to see someone else who remembers it from that game. I love your Probe btw, I have a GE 626, if you know your Mazda's it's pretty much a 4 door MX-6/Probe GT.

@@SomeOne_86 Hell yeah man, love the 626s aswell. I think the GE didn't recieve the Turbo F2T from the Probe GT/MX-6, but I might be wrong on that. It doesn't really matter though, the F2/T is pretty much bulletproof, seeing as it's derived from a Mazda lorry engine. I have never had any engine/gearbox related problems, but only electrical issues such as the AFM burning up, the entire cables melting and so on. Anyways, keep it, enjoy it and don't let it go. If you know anything about that series of Ford + Mazda collaborations, its that they are rare and hard to find in good condition. I've noticed that in Europe the MX-6 and 626 are much rarer than in the US, with the opposite for the Probe.

@@ThatTurboProbe I have the later GE IV, but it's only a 1.8 FP lol, I want to get a KL into it at some point but my country's laws when it comes to engine swaps are straight a$$, so I'll probably have to wait until I finish my education and move out of here. I've had some crazy electrical issues too lmao, at one point my wipers would randomly turn on if you had the left indicators on, I went to 4 electricians and nobody could figure it out, turns out it was just a ground lol. My biggest issues have been with rust, my example is pretty bad and will need extensive work since the former owners did REALLY bad repairs on it. Since it's an old car, registration costs on it are cheap so I can just keep it forever even if I'm not driving it often, so I'm not thinking about selling it, like you said-They're pretty rare.👍

@@SomeOne_86 Im gonna keep it honest, if you love that 626 and you wanna pour money into it to make it absolutely perfect, even if it requires moving away, absolutely do it. It was my plan with the Probe. I wanted to completely restore it and later on in life RWD swap it and throw in the V8 from the Terminator Cobra. Also, the previous owner was so fucking retarded that I can't fathom how and why he bought it in the first place. Let me throw you some examples: • He threw away almost all of the plastic clip buttons and screws and just used bath tile silicone to hold the interior trim together • He used the same silicone to hold the rear left headlight in place • He left the interior dirty and smelling worse than a rats ass (pretty sure he once vomited in it and didn't want to clean it up, so he bought a small plastic tub bubblegum airfreshener and just stuck it on the dash) • He let the car sit in the sun unprotected for years and even let that air freshener sit in the car all that time with the windows closed. Yummy. You can't begin to imagine the absolutely disgusting smell in the interior when I first stepped in it. • He didn't do basic maintanence and left the F2T with a lifter tick from not changing the oil and banging it arounf nonstop. I'm also pretty sure he drove it hard when the engine was still cold. You can see why I wanted to save it. I felt so sorry for the car being abused by an absolute dickhead and knew that it deserved better. I bought it for €2500 with a lot of spare parts and never looked back, even if my entire family (apart from my parents) ragged on me for buying an abused victim, and a powerful one at that. I had to hear "Its too powerful for you, you'll crash it" and "It'll be unreliable, you should've bought a Golf" nonstop. Unfortunately, they were right about me having an accident in it. My Probe was totaled on December 25th 2022. I don't want to get into the specifics but basically someone was overtaking on the opposite side and came into my lane. I swerved to not hit him and ended up hitting a ditch, sticking the front end into the dirt and catapulting me into the forest, hitting multiple trees whilst flipping and ending up on my roof. Of course, the asshole that caused it ran away and I had to be pulled out of the car by my best friend. Walked away from a crash that should've killed me with a dislocated shoulder and a few cuts from the glass. And my first words to my friend? "Is it bad? Is the car alright?" I guess I cared more about the car than my life lol. I was rushed to the hospital and got out a few days later. Then I saw the Probe for the first time after the crash in my driveway. The roof was caved in. The A and B Pillars were completely bent. The front glass was penetrated by a tree on the passenger side. The trunk section was completely caved in. I cried for days on end before I finally sold it to someone with, you guessed it, a Mazda 626 GT. He took the car apart, saved the mechanical components like the engine and gearbox, and scrapped the chassis. I miss my Red Rocket so much, but Its time to move on. Decided Im gonna buy a V6 Firebird and wing it from there, since my country had no Probes for sale and importing one in from Germany again is too complicated and expensive for me now since Im a student. Maybe later in life, I'll get one again and finish what I started. Just wanted to gush out a bit and tell you that you should enjoy every waking second with that 626, because you never know when someone or something will take it from you. Take care of yourself and drive safely.

50k before the end of the year for sure

I'd have loved to buy that and just keep it stock, but then I'd have to always worry about it being stolen.

Talking nonsense the GE head flows better than the GTE head

@@lieutenantdan8170 💀

@@fyfoxx listen here furtard on the exhaust side a 2J GE head out flows a GTE head and way out flows a 1J head, while on the intake 2J GTE out flows GE and GE outflows 1J. Only reason to put a 1J head on a 2J is if you already have manifolds and cams for the 1J and want a bump on displacement without having to spend more money.

@@lieutenantdan8170 💀

The quote I heard once sums it up great though (Think it was rad dan, dont quote me on that.) "The only reason you build a 1.5j is that you are either too broke to build a 2j, or you had a 2j and dont have the money to replace the head you blew up"

@@codyn8086 I do love garlic salt...are we talking a $2 bill or?

Beautiful car, very well done! Did you sell it or is it still available?

I gotta say, the LS swaps confuse my brain lol. My brain expects a Japanese car (or whatever, Yugo, whatever smells, drive feel, sounds) but then you get an LS, as if you're hooning a Camaro. Very odd. Biggest question is...do you go to JDM meets, or American Muscle meets? Very clean and well done though. A rarity these days.

@@carfriendsimulator9981 thank you!! I finally have two buyers. One way or another she's leaving soon!

If only they were sold in NA. We got the G8 and Chevy SS but both are fairly rare.

@@person.w9780 I'm glad they weren't. you guys would have made it cringe

We went front-wheel drive then all wheel drive starting in the early '80s panther platforms like Grand Marquis or scoffed at because their grandma's car

So one you can find at a junkyard and actually do on a budget and the other one you can't

The lq9 is better than the LS for turbos due to cast blocks

Not long I'm afraid. When Feed said why don't they just ruin an SN95 Mustang because no one would care, I thought to myself maybe we might live to see the day when people start doing dumb things with them and every RWD car becomes scarce.

@casualgamers3369 I think you're right. It's only a matter of time. I'll have to take a look at the production numbers.

@@casualgamers3369 At a certain point all of these tuners will start building their own cars from scratch. I already seen this at my last track day where more and more people are building their own space frame race cars instead of modding. So for drifting we'll probably see this. In highly modded drift cars there is barely anything left from the original car anyway except the frame, half the body panels and the dashboard.

No, the millennium jade S14 is a perfect example of a well modified car, keep seething tho
