90'S Japanese Sports cars

[Killbill]

So as a carafobe and never happy with what i have,ive been looking at late 80's early 90,s J sports cars.
Really got a thing for Supras and Gto's and 300nsx and Silvas and the list goes on
Any how whats the one to have.
Iam not a drifter i like the looks rather that itll take 3000bhp with a few mods.

3ltr supra turbo with metal head gasket. used to be cheap to buy and insure but i don't know the deal now

If you can find one, a Mk5 Celica are still very good value.

I had a Mk3 Supra for a little while and was disappointed. There was a lot to like about it, it looked pretty nice, it was pretty fast, it had a manual box and tight LSD. It must've cost loads back in 1989 too, it had a really nice interior (unlike a lot a Japanese cars of the time). The problem was it weighed almost 1800kg and it felt it, it was absolutely huge too. An S-body might feel a bit more nimble but nice ones are pretty expensive now.

Celica Supra's look great too. A white one with 16" revolution RFX's for the touring car look.

I've been having similar thoughts about 90's J coupes recently, particularly the unloved Mitsubishi GTO

[smurf]

I've always foud the mr2 turbo to be pretty good

Had 5 mk2's over the years, fun to drive until the road gets 1 spit of rain, then its mega sideways smiles

An Early 90's J car that's virtually unknown..
(and very rare)
Toyota Aristo 3.0v (jzs147) with something interesting hiding under the bonnet, a 2JZ-GTE that was then put in the mkiv toyota supra....

In 1997 the mk2 came out toyota aristo v300 vertex edition again with the 2JZ-GTE but with vvti.. Ending production in 2004.

A bit of self indulgence.this is mine..

I'm not sure what engine they have but there are two Aristo's with that bodykit driving around at southern finland. I'll try to get them on camera when the snow melts and they come out from the garage again

^ So much WANT!

Really have a thing for 90s Japanese stuff right now. Been considering satisfying it with something like one of these:

Mitsu FTO:

(my bro has one, but won't let me drive it )
--
Toyota Mister 2:

Love the idea of a T-top too right now!

(Or a Mitsu 3000GT/MX5/Supra/300zx)

Had not heard of the Cosmo or Aristo before, they both look really nice too.

Fto's are fwd - yuk

I have had 300zx tt, supra mk3 na, mr2 turbo. All manual, the 300zx was almost fully rebuilt and I spent about 12k on it! Awesome car with 380hp in the end but 15mpg when being careful!
The mr2 was quick low down and around bends, bit of a hairdryer 4 pot, odd driving style though and the front locked up easily.
The supra na was the best to drive, mine was totally stripped, welded in cage, coilovers, welded diff, not massively quick but great fun and very driveable.

I built this rx7 in the early 2000s:



Was on the road about 8 months in 3 years and generally ate a lot of fuel and about £300 of parts a month.

If your bigger than circus midget it could be claustrophobic.

When it worked it was awesome though - according to DVLA its not been on the road since 2010 which hardly surprises me

We have quite a few aristo owners in Finland some pushing big power & manual converted

Not many have heard of the toyota aristo
Basically a lexus gs300 with a twin turbo engine,
They also did a mk1 zi-four version with a 4ltr v8 4wd
