Which car to touge???

I haven't been here long but I Tend to see everyone driving the same cars, regular jdm's and what not. If you think a car deserves a little more appreciation, list the car here and show it some love by tuning it and taking pictures on the mountain of it, and posting them in the "post your touge car thread" under multimedia........



I'll start
Mitsubishi FTO

My girlfriend.

Your mom.

Btt dont laugh but the '63 beetle is da BOMB on the downhill its like superfast on the acceleration and grips like a mofo

I would have to go with the S13.

Nobody uses the Mitsubishi Starion for no apparent reasons. I swear one day someone will get in that car and say: "Holy shit this car is REALLY good, now I'm gonna use it to be different." or some shit.

And I prefer the 240SX over the S13, the suspension travel is superior despite the car being heavier IMO.

The Forte SX/Civic Si (either)/FTO (actually wanted to tune this, but I love them so much I can't bring myself to change it from stock)/Tiburon. Pretty much any FWD SpoCom that isn't an EG/EK Civic.

Actually, I might take some time and build a Cobalt/SRT-4. I'm just a naturally aspirated kind of guy is all, but why not try a tarbo.

Never seen the 71' Skyline, with the right tuning I'm sure she could fly down. Also the GT4 seems like it could go ok with the right driver. I mean they aren't as good as the typical touge cars but they aren't common for sure.

My personal list of cars that have untapped potential (at least for RWD).
FB RX7
S13
S14
2000GT
71 Skyline
Porsche 550
84 Supra

All of these can get 4:37-4:35(the 550 actually gets 34's!) and if someone got really commited to one of these cars I could probably see a few of them getting low 4:35's, maybe even a high 4:34!

My buddy tol8iwin use the Starion and S13, I use all Sylvias But specialize in S15, hope i dont start seeing a bunch of ppl in S15s.

Oh god NOT the Porsche 550 Spyder I HATED that car so much! It was the equivalent of the Lotus Elise in FM3.

Yeah it is really good, that 34 was the first and last run in that car. It does have some wierd handeling though.

What about all the unsung heroes of the rouge, the beginners cars? Versa, Fit, 240sx, Yaris.

Well the 240sx I think has gotten a 4:37, don't really know about all of those FWDs though.

240sx is actually a good car, despite it being a bit heavy , got a 37 with a few hours of tuning, with some more time I bet 36 are possible.

Also the s13 could probably beat the 240, I applied the 240 tune and ran a 37, both these are good cars, whoever can master them can do big things in those cars!

i really belive that it depends on the car and how much time you wanna spend practicing with it.

lol I dunno the weight just made the car feel hunkered down to the road and it felt good

There really isn't a secret, it's more about how to understand how a car like the 240sx handles compared to other cars.

Do you mean the ones you posted or just FWDs in general? Either way I can't really help you as I am terrible in FWD cars.
