Top 10 Best RWD JDM Sports Cars For Less Than $5,000 in 2024!!

[@soupman3970]

I actually found and bought an Manual 1992 SC300 for 6k in Floria couple months back. they're great cars but for people that are thinking of buying one, listen: Yes, it is a 2JZ, Yes its cool as shit and the stock exhaust even sounds good; But if your thinking of buying one make sure to meticulously check it before buying one. They have a lot of problems being that old... Some things to watch out for: - Door hinges (the Sc has large ass doors and the hinges can start to sag. they cost a lot to replace.) - Valve cover gasket (For some reason they are infamous for leaky gaskets. i should know.) - Electrical... (So many little things i have to split it up...) - Fuel pump ECU goes bad - ECU capacitors blow - Electrical harness damage (if the car's suspension has been modified) - ECU-IG capacitor blows - Dash (motor in tach/speedo and also the needles go bad) - Power steering pump leaking on alternator (will kill the alternator) - Front suspension bushings - Timing belt And so other old car stuff... But if you can find one in good condition or have the time, money, and experience to fix one up, they are so fun. Alot of drift potential as well (just not stock lol)

[@daniel.m3257]

He mad to talk about sc300 and is300 being under 5k. You only going to enjoy the car if you build up to it potential. You need at least 8k or more to pick up a clean one

[@markroden]

Bro congrats and thanks for all the help for ppl looking for em

Let’s gooooo I’ve been wanting another JDM car video!!! Marky never lets us down!

[@markroden]

Happy to help bois

[@binkus9241]

Hey at the 1:02 mark of the video it shows a Mountain, I actually live there and can see that mountain from my bedroom window. The mountain's name is Mt. Diablo. If that car is actually near where I live and for sale I should go check that out.

[@kycilay]

I absolutely love my aw11. Doesn’t run atm and has so many issues, and on a wild goose chase to find an igniter, but definitely a great car. I’ve driven it over 200 miles with a vaccuum leak and it drove perfectly fine. Best $5k (more now fixing it) I’ve ever spent tbh

[@joshuabergenske6207]

I love your videos! Specifically, the deep dives because I always learn something new! Content has always been great, but it's been awesome to watch you improve with your overall verbal delivery. First video of yours I have watched in around 4 months honestly (sorry lot goin on lately) and you sound so much more confident. Great to see it. Thanks so much for all the content! I'm looking to buy my first JDM car soon and I knew where to go to get the best advice.

[@trilliamogdlocog4986]

At this point I'm just sticking to domestic vehicles to drift and build up Get a truck or Camaro, mustang etc and just send it don't gotta worry about beating up a upcoming classic JDM car...

[@TheBoss-pb1gd]

Hey great job youngster! Another banger video! You're killing it as usual. Hey do a top 10 ugliest jdm. Subjective, yet interesting to see what you find ugly. Then do the most aesthetic.

DO A DEEP DIVE ON the DODGE VIPER!!

[@markroden]

Haha ok

[@bensonbingle2578]

Yes

[@TangerineTypes]

best bet for the fc is to just rebuild the motor once you get it probably. If you're planning to turbo it, it's easier to just to buy a factory turbo one rather than turboing the na 6 port

[@markroden]

Yeah not a bad option at all

[@5lbcakemix501]

might as-well buy a 14k FC atp, new shortblocks from mazda (if you can even snag them before the shops do) is about 9k+. individual irons, rotors, or housings go for about 1.2k each on avg.

[@SwitchedPC]

Shhhhh stop bringing up the 240sx the price was finally going down again 😢

Great vid!! Have you ever talked about the lancer coupe?

[@raijin8718]

I hate to be that guy but the Lexus LS400 are not sport cars, SC300 is debatable. With that said another alternative in terms old luxury cars is the Infiniti Q45(all 3 generations can be found under 5k in great condition). Also as a z31 owner the engine bay is not bad at all, you can do a lot of the maintenance without removing the motor from the bay, people mix them up for z32 engine bay. Only bad thing imo are the wires on the plenum, which can easily be deleted and the oil filter location which was a common bad habit of Nissan with their older cars, its located above the starter if you want to remove from the bottom during oil change.

i think im stuck between getting an ls400 or a is300 when i save up for a drift car, i do love a VIP style of an ls400 but i also love the looks and possible power from the si300, any thoughts on which might be better?

[@markroden]

I’d choose the IS300 10x over, it’s smaller, sportier, lighter, has a manual, and the 2jz is easier and cheaper to build than a 1uz

Top 10 straight line speed cars? 👀

[@IamMortui]

Miata NB's or Miata's in general are so overly saturated currently. They CANNOT be found nowhere near around 5k without at least one or two of: rust, high mileage, mechanically unsound, rebuilt title, in an accident or terrible paint. They're not worth the asking price anymore.
