I've got a couple rides myself. My daily driver to and from work is an old, beat-up (but still running very well) 1985 Mercury Marquis. My other car is just about a polar opposite. It is a 1994 Integra, slammed with a Jackson Racing supercharger, AEM Cold-Air Intake, DC Sports 4-1 stainless steel headers, Mugen twin-loop exhaust, as well as Powerstop cross-drilled brake rotors and Metal Matrix pads on the front wheels and Auto Meter boost and air/fuel ration gauges.

Yeah, I think the US only gets the so-called Euro - Toyotas, ie the 2.2l 16v 4 cylinder and a 3.0V6, those are crap, especially the 2.2 with an auto box, a mobility scooter can overtake that I bet. It's a well known fact though that Japan keeps its best for the domestic market, and here in New Zealand we get them as second hand imports, so we've got the Camry 1.8 4cyl, 2.0 4cyl, 2.0 4WS, 2.0Diesel, and top of the line Camry Prominent 2.5V6, any of these would easily beat the Euro ones in equipment and engine performance, For example even the 1990 2.0 Camry has climate air standard, and the Prominent V6 has CD/MD, sattelite navigation etc, i think its gonna be another 10 or more years before the euro models catch up to that level

At the moment I have an 88 and 85 RX-7, both non turbo . I had an 88 RX-7 Turbo II, but it got totaled. I sold my 81 RX-7 a few months back.

Your friendly AF Admin

i thought the same thing in the beginning too- only a guy can own a tiger like 3000GT.... I was wrong. ---------- I've seen the future, and all I can say is go back.... |
