FTO was my first sports car, Good memories and good fun with the club. Picked my one up for 1200 euro. I moved onto a 1JZ Chaser, MKIV Supra, MR2 spyder and now drive a 350z but the old FTO had a character all its own.

[@Bajue]

they look like a walmart version of Supra, looks fun to drive

[@CanuckBacon]

A great cheap car for enthusiasts would be something like the Buick LaCrosse 2005-2009 with the 3.8L engine $2000 for a clean low mileage example, easy and very forgiving to work on, built on the w-body platform which has almost unmatched aftermarket support and though it is fwd, it's built like a sports car and has so much weight on the front, a bit of negative camber in the back, and some lift-off oversteer, you can easily break traction in the back and corner hard. And a little suspension work and it feels like it's on rails. I also am going to mention the 3.8L is a beefed up engine as they also came from factory (on the pontiac Grand Prix) with a supercharger? It's super easy to get kits for it and push 300+ horsepower on stock internals. The truest definition of a sleeper. Non-descript 4-door sedan beating mustangs? And sounding amazing while at it? Yes please!

Rx8 isn't as bad as people make it out to be tbh....I've always loved that car

[@QuickshiftCars]

Same! I will own one someday...

[@jo-qp7mz]

Love love love my RX8 drive it more then my Evo!

[@vmrre8267]

yeah, but ngl the thing doesnt just use gas, it drains it

[@Outatime]

The FTO is super underrated and such a lovely car.. Shame its so hard to come by in Poland cause I'd buy one without hesitation

[@malachilatroy]

Super rare by me also and it's only autos :(

[@Outatime]

@@malachilatroy i don't really care as much if it's auto or manual (although obviously i prefer manual), i just wish it was easier to get

[@malachilatroy]

@@Outatime Would it make sense buying it auto and swapping it? If it is do-able then i won't mind an auto

[@Outatime]

@@malachilatroy oh i have no idea ive got zero knowledge about car mods and the mechanic aspect in general sorry I'm of no help here haha

[@malachilatroy]

@@Outatime sigh. It's okay man but you like them even though they're not as fast and is fwd?

Im so ready to get my rx8 yes that's a bigger mx5 from its day

I've owned a 2011 mx5 since new, the chassis is amazing.

Selling a nice 06 rx8 with some mods 106k 7500$

[@alexeiutgoff7955]

Always liked the FTO. But the FWD ruined it.

[@AdultsAreTalking]

I definitely agree but one could argue it's the king of FWD JDM sportscars

[@erpiks1449]

the most underrated ones are the toyota mark 2 and the cresta jzx100

[@AnthonyTrifoglio]

Check the prices again. Now they're unaffordable

[@royw2249]

10-30 grand? in Canada you can find a s13 skyline r32 r33 etc for 20-30 grand granted some are above that but that is not cheap for some I’ll take a skyline over a chaser but I like 2 door cars 8-15 grand makes a little more sense for cheap

[@Sim.Motorsport]

Personally i just buy a mitsubitchi eclips and it a insane track car and it look incredible

[@roomtemppudding4025]

Could just get an MR2 or an s13 for these prices if not way less

[@ConnorTubeYT]

My dad has an FTO gpx, and trust me its as cool as the video makes it out to be, handles like a dream!, and has a beautiful v6 roar to boot, if you ever have a chance to get one, i would grab it without a second thought

[@gooo1762]

Thanks for the video!

[@excluzo]

97-02 mitsubishi mirage coupes are like 2 door versions of lancer evos fun to drive and nimble u can afford one less than 3 bands

[@MizuSL0860]

FTO is a really good car Chaser is also really good RX8 is good but you NEED to drive it like a sports car and do the up keep of well... a sports car

[@silverfang2047]

[@chariots7646]

Awesome video! This is the next donut media!

[@gregoryballestero4369]

Ahh yess the FTO, the car that should have gotten the eclipse gsx engine but never did, also barely left land of the rising sun, I wish they imported FTO's instead of the eclipses Edit: RX-8 & Renasis motor = doodoo brown

[@lovelyme01]

Horrible list dude😂

[@whassabe9941]

make a better one then

[@RamzaBeo]

Just look for a manual Miata under 5k and you’re golden lol

[@foxtrotyt8898]

My dude's definition of cheap os a bit off 💀

[@Yabadabuzzy]

fto is a nice car

[@alexthegrt6786]

The 350z is pretty good and cheap for what it is

[@toshidarobber2207]

People think the RX8 is underrated? But yet I still would choose a Mazda 6 speed over it

[@Knowles860]

I thought that chaser had a chevy steering wheel lol

[@WoolfJ35]

Anytime I hear RX8 I think engine swap lol

[@SheddysGaming]

Good.

[@mikelatta7938]

What does "JDM" stand for?

[@Republican_Extremest]

The RX-8 was filled with gaudy plastic all over the interior the navigation screen was prone to breaking and they put so much plastic under the hood to quiet down the angry Dorito. Catalytic converter costs 1,200 per and there are two on the underside. And depending where you live it requires a specialist to do the work or dealer costs. Ours sat on the car lot for almost a year. It smoked every time we started it up. Found out later that it was just rich from the short starts and stops. I ended up using it to get parts and that went away. It was definitely lacking the umph you'd expect from an icon with an rotory motor.

[@andrestrd]

Is it expensive to rebuild a rx8 engine with blown apex seal? I saw one here in ph for about $3000

[@javierleija8513]

I want the chaser

Top 3 CHEAP JDM Cars to Go Fast on a Budget; proceeds to show 25k price

[@onlinepcshow3419]

There are no cheap JDM to go fast. Your starting with an economy car motor for one that will take totally new internals no matter what JDM. Maybe S2000 cause it had racing pistons. But past that you need to make up the JDM gap (Gap in HP between JDM vs Euro and JDM vs American) You have usually a 200 hp gap with JDM. So past getting a way over priced car, you also need to drop 50k plus in parts to catch up to rest of cars. You want to save money go american muscle. Its by far best bang for buck!

[@Republican_Extremest]

Too bad the FTO wasn't an option in the states

[@user-lb2je8kx6y]

@@NicoKyunKyun you can just repair the stock engine for 1200 bucks or just buy a junkyard LS and just hope it will run

[@neil5679]

You can even get those build it yourself kit cars with Miata engines haha

[@justintowers8230]

the FTO shares he same fate as the Celica SS-III. terrible gear ratios. though i feel less sympathy for Mitsubishi. The FTO came in a track edition Version R and they still didnt address the gear ratios. theCelica SS-III without a track version, is still faster than the FTO. So its actually the true underdog. i havent seen any FTO version R in the states yet and its been 25 years already....

[@jorgeguzman9518]

hey bro u might see one soon since i’ve been working and saving up to buy a version aero in february

[@Dominik189]

... the FTO sucks ass. It's not fast nor really that Tunable. It is neat, but you're overrating it.

[@gloriousfiber1754]

Yes you forgot the 3000gt vr4

Romans 3:10-11 "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth, there is none that seketh after God". Romans 3:21-26 "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (substitute) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus". We have all sinned, but Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins in our place, and it's up to us to recieve that gift by faith, and according to that faith, we will be judged when we die.
