I had a Domestic and I don't know how to post pics.

[skatamatic]

i had an old mazda mx-3 before this but i wouldn't really call it a performance car. it was alright though, not many problems and it was somewhat fun to drive being a 5 speed :).

[GT-Skid]

I had a 95 subaru Impreza. No major MODS. Fun little car though.

[AmyMcCoy12]

An old beat down 80 something Maxima ;)

[csirani]

1979 Toyota Corolla Sportcoupe...Not much in performance but it was a great little car.

[jdm-style]

first monster performance car----> 1986 Honda Accord hatchback. Mods, spray painted gold rims, aerodynamic dent on drivers side, removed airfilter, cut exhaust piping, conversion automatic to manual look a like, little temp gauge from type r that looked like a boost gauge, turbo sticker on the back....lolz i riced it out once i found out i was able to get the celi. wrecked it in the rain tryin to drift(fishtail) hit a side walk and bent the whole entire frame of the car...my hood wouldn't close after wards.

Hahahah, no way!! I got an '80 Corona liftback sitting out front, it's what I drive to and from school. Engine in that thing is unbelievable, completely underpowered, things gonna last a lifetime. In terms of reliability I can't say enough about that car. :thumbup:

[Jesse IL]

Does an '86 Civic hatchback count? It was the base model, carburated 1.3L making a whopping 85HP through a 4-spd trans. But can you say 1800lb. curb weight? :D Then I stepped up to an '87 Integra LS

Thats what I have for a winter beater...

[NeSyO03]

LoL, 23 replies and no pics of cars.

[Zsolt67]

That Isuzu I posted was a fast little car, sweat interior and handling like it was on rails, thanks to its Lotus tuned suspension, I had a Supertrap muffler with the baffles.:cool:

[Zsolt67]

Actually I had other performance cars before , but not a import. I had a new 1985 Camaro Z28 5 speed V8 when I was 17.

[Zsolt67]

Well it shows the age of this forum, most of the people the Celica was their first or second car.its like my 15th

Nice Eclipse. It's a shame what happened to your Celica though.

Mine would have lasted forever, except I was a victim of a cracked manifold--apparently a "known problem", not sure how wide spread.

I was able to haul everything in that hatchback.

As for reliability--absolutely right. I traded it in on a '88 Pontiac Grand Prix SE. Now that was a piece of ****.

I've had Toyotas ever since.

[00CericaRuss]

hehe... my 1st car, which I drove for 6 years.. ended up selling it.. should've done a 3S-GTE transplant, but oh well..
