yeah just b/c the car (NSX) was a mid enginge car and most of them are rwd, but are the new mr2 rwd too and what about the old 94' celica's. They have a wider rear end indicating a rwd but is that just a mistake by toyota

MR means mid engine/rear drive so i'm assuming ANY MR2 is rear drive. if it's not then toyota is a big fat liar! oh and i think it was '86 when toytota changed celica from FR to FF

Starions were very cool cars in their day. Nothing special by current standards though.

When you guys say FF (front?) and FR (rear?) what does the "F" mean?

I am more familiar with the terms:

FWD = Front Wheel Drive. RWD = Rear Wheel Drive.

Tiburons are FWD for sure.

A very popular old Toyota that is used for modding is the Toyota Starlet. Also RWD.

I'm sure there are a few engine transplants for this car too :)

I dont think there is such thing as RR, unless your talking about gokarts or something. Maybe you meant MR, mid mount engine, rear wheel drive.

Tino: hyundia is korean

not_a_porsche: looks like someone was doing their homework j/k

240sx2nr95: yeah or even the superchargers they're some bad a$$ f^ck'n cars my girl-friend has a 95 with 260 i think she said and she's going to put a charger in it with a performance ecu

driftalcholic: thats the dumbest thing i ever heard or Euro's come on their imports just like we are imports. Euro's are IMPORTED in to this state from Europe IMPORTED and "import" cars are imported from korea, japan, and china so i guess IMO we should make an alliance with the euro Imports and take over this mustang, camero trans am, ran country!!!
