Rally thoroughbred for the road, Great drivers car, Boxer engine, Cheap parts. If you like the sound of this and want a Honda which is going to be an investment we reckon the EG6 Honda Civic SiR made from is the one to have. The EG6 is an excellent chassis which has over the years proven hugely successful in circuit racing and rallying, even 25 years since its launch this model Civic looks fresh and its sleek body shape is now iconic in the tuning world, combine this with the all important VTEC engine and you have the recipe for an all time classic.
The EG6 civic is creeping into the grasp of US buyers under the 25 year rule is going to rapidly increase the price of these. Go for one in an original colour without a body kit, OEM options are very desirable.
Our choice for this list could really have been any of the S-Body cars as in years to come all will achieve classic status in their own right.. The S13 Silvia looked pretty dated by the time the S14 came along to replace it in , its angular design was showing its age compared to the more curvaceous design of the S As a consequence popularity and prices of this model fell rapidly and many ended up being drifted and generally bought cheap then used and abused by Japanese car fans.
Rust can be an issue, dashes crack with exposure to the sun, many have had a hard life. For long term investment go for a car without aftermarket bodykits and overfenders etc, period modifications and aftermarket extras such as the uber rare HUD clocks are very desirable. The chosen car was the humble Nissan Pulsar, rules at the time stipulated that Nissan needed to make a road going version for homologation of the rally car, this was a godsend for car fans as it lead to the birth of the Pulsar GTiR.
This aggression carries over to the driving experience, with the excellent SR20 and surefooted 4wd handling they will fight off competition from almost anything in real world driving conditions. Never heard of her. Produced in limited numbers these cars are starting to get scarce and values have begun to rise pretty rapidly. Get as good an example as your budget allows, with minimal or no rust, an aftermarket front mount intercooler is much more efficient than the standard top mount so is a common modification.
The AE86 has a front engined rear wheel drive configuration and is simply a blast to own. When it comes to styling, like so many other Japanese cars the AE86 is not exactly from the design houses of Italy but no matter which body style you go for; 2 door coupe or 3 door hatch you get an iconic shape which as time goes by seems to just look better and better.
Prices are increasing practically by the day, In a few years this car will no longer be an affordable option for most. Limited parts left, RUST! Getting hard to find, RUST! There are no rules, go for whatever car catches your eye and best suits your budget. My original intention was to put the Mitsubishi Lancer Tommi Makinen Edition on this list, but with prices now often 3 times more than the almost identical car on which it is based, the Evo 6, it really is a hard case to make.
So I went with the next best thing and when you pull up beside a Makinen owner at the traffic lights you can be sure you paid a lot less money than they did! The 2. This all means that even today the Evo 6 is a very advanced and properly fast car. Tommi Makinen Edition prices have exploded — it is only a matter of time before the Evo 6 gets some of the pie.

The distinct drop-top car borrows looks from influences ranging from Citroen to Fiat but certainly stands out on its own. The US eventually did come to know this plucky little 4X4 under a different name, the Suzuki Samurai, but that wasn't until the second iteration was made.
The first generation didn't even start out as a Suzuki but rather as a Hope. The Hope Motor Company had a line of tiny off-roaders but hadn't made many before being taken over by Suzuki and remodeled.
The plucky little off-roader even managed to compete in the Mexico Rally in 34 hours according to Motoringresearch. When those in the US think of Toyota sedans, most likely they think of the stalwart Camry as the flagship sedan of the Toyota brand. In Japan, however, the flagship sedan is the long-running Crown, which has been in production since Though it sold in the United States from the late fifties to the early seventies, it was eventually replaced by the Corona and the Crown remained a primarily JDM car.
If you want to know what car the Cima was meant to compete with, look no further than the hood ornament. It features a single acanthus leaf that Greece used to make crowns. The Cima is Nissan's answer to Toyota's long-living Crown, coming into production in The US would eventually know a version of the Cima as the Infinity Q45, but the generations before and after that we all Japan. The Land Cruiser is a known element in the United States, with early models being the indestructible alternative to Land Rovers and Jeeps and later models being the retro design SUV that developed a popular following in the US.
While for the US markets the Land Cruiser is a single entity, for Japan it represents a range of vehicles and in its center is the Prado. Essentially the Prado is the slightly more civilized cousin of the rough and tumble Land Cruisers that we know. One Suzuki to never make it to US shores officially in any configuration is the tiny but distinct Cappuccino. Built for people who think Miatas are too bloated and heavy, the 1,pound Cappuccino makes the most of its rpm hp motor.
A liberal application of Colin Chapman's philosophy of 'adding lightness,' the little car is reportedly a joy to drive. Japan has a class of car that they rarely export and are built specifically for the demands of their crowded city streets, and that's the Kei Car.
Built to a set of specs that keep the cars extraordinarily small, no longer than 11'2" and wider than 4'10" with cc engines, Kei cars come with a series of exemptions and tax breaks that make them attractive to overseas motorists.
Imagine a movie where a scientist creates a formula that when someone takes it they split into two different people, one with all of the athleticism and aggression and the other calmer, and more refined. If that scenario was a car, the Nissan Cedric would be the Dr.
Jekyll to the Skyline's Mr. Both cars share the same origin, having been the Prince Skyline before being folded into the Nissan lineup. The Skyline became the premiere sports car from Japan and the Cedric the performance sedan cousin.
At the time, the R34 was the ultimate Japanese performance car, producing a claimed hp from the factory. We say claimed because, in reality, the RB26 engine's power figure was closer to hp.
To top it all off, it was extremely tuneable, easily capable of pushing out 3 times that. But the R34 remains an unattainable goal for a few more years.
Once upon a time, Honda created an Austin Healey-inspired little roadster called the S featuring a cc engine in an equally tiny package.
