Car tuning?
Does anyone know of any good car to tune that is JDM, rare, and AE86 like? I was hoping that Toyota created the Scion tC to resemble the AE86, I know it was a crazy idea... but still. (Then I found out that the tC didn't have a weight distribution close to 50/50.
Also, what would you guys think if I was to get a Miata? Just wondering. Cause I heard people think guys in Miatas are gay. Or now, the MX-5 |

you would be better off posting this in the road car section, but if you go for anything go for a MX5, good handling and good base to tune up

This is definitely more suited in the road car forum. Moved.

JDM?
I've often heard cars refered to as girls cars, things like MX5 and the Ford Ka- usually small cars that have a 'cute' look- I guess even the Mini (No, not the FWD BMW!) and the Beetle could have been but history has shown them to have a universal appeal. If you like the MX5/Miata then don't let a percieved image stop you- you are a free man are you not? |

Thanks Garcon, far too many TLA's around here!!
There's a lot in favour of the Miata/mx5- there's a quite big owners club and parts are easily available from the likes of Moss etc |

I think shaunx may be in the US if he is calling an MX5 a Miata. Not sure if you would say they are rare enough, but a turbo Silvia would definitely be tuneable enough and they have good balance.
