hey, i am about to buy some sort of very old, and cheap rwd car to do minimal work to and drive around so i dont drive my 240 as much. i am looking for a rwd car, does anyone know a web page that might have specs on older cars? i know the 87 and before corollas are, what about 200sx's in which years? or older maximas? i know u can tell by the engine placement, and usually by where the tail pipe is, but some cars i am looking at there are pictures of. any help is appreciated, thanks!

awesome, thanks for those links. yeah i was hoping the old 200sx's were going to be rwd, i like the hatchback look of them.

my basic idea for getting an old rwd car is to learn how to drift in it so i dont mess up my 240. i plan on painting it and adding a custom tin body kit, heh. get some really cheap rims and tires and do the exhuast myself....basically i am not paying labor for anything i do to this and going the cheapest route i possibly can. rip out the interior and replace it all...whateva, just have some fun with it...add a hood scoop, aw yeah! that way i dont have to hold back when im driving, because if i smash it up ill just go to the junk yard, get a new panel, paint it, and walla.

Hey wpg240, I bet you look out your window, but then have to duck really fast because a bullet just shot through the glass. :) (just kidding - bad winnipeg humor)

I would make a really bad joke about that exclusive club post, but it's early and I can't think of a good one. :confused:
