    👉 Do you agree with our list? WE really think these cars need more love and appreciation from the JDM community. ❤

    The Prelude in rear-wheel drive would have been legendary!

    The prelude aged so well

      Would you agree that it would have been better if it was rear wheel drive?

    Only the germans Knew the art of producing RWD cars after the 90's and now every RWD cool car is expensive expect for the european
    talking about the used car market in europe of course because we ain't got cheap g35's or 350z's or Miata Which we call MX5
    there is alot of cool FWD cars existing tho but bro RWD is a status symbol nowadays
    but the other rwd cars are old or expensive or old and expensive if you want to have unique car
    BTW Preludes and every other remotely intresting is expensive for first car status and don't get me even started on the japanese ones because the prices are hyped for new and old ones.

      We feel you bro... We are all suffering from the heavily imposed "Nostalgia Tax". We love JDM cars, and, like you, have been victims of speculation which has caused all these old cars to go up in prices 😑

      You can do a RWD drive swap and have a really amazing car if you can afford it.

    The celica was fwd ever since it stopped being a supra, you could also get it in awd but those models were rare since the reason they were made was so that Toyota could use the chassis to build a rally car

    Probably would be a drift tax on the prelude 😬. I would probably have one less car in my fleet if one of the generations of prelude came RWD. Also the SH prelude handles 👌

    • @jdmlifeline
      @jdmlifeline  Год назад +1

      That's the good thing of being underrated. Some what jdm tax is negligible.

    • @AnthonyTrifoglio
      @AnthonyTrifoglio 9 месяцев назад

      Perhaps, but it would have have been a competitor to the s13/14. And competition lowers prices.
      It's just a crying shame they kept it fwd

  • @AresakaWilku
    @AresakaWilku Год назад +1

    If you know the mechanics quite well or you have a person who understands this mechanics at an advanced level, you can do a RWD drive swap.

    • @AnthonyTrifoglio
      @AnthonyTrifoglio 9 месяцев назад

      It's master level stuff though. They requires fabrication too. It's definitely more involved than even a more advanced engine swap because you can't just fabricate a drivetrain; you have to find another drivetrain & meld it into the chassis

    Yes true I agree 💯 with this list.

    T160 Celica was a FWD/East West platform. Only the GT4 varint that came in 4WD.

    • @jdmlifeline
      @jdmlifeline  Год назад

      You are correct. We believe it's the first celica to have a 4WD variant on its class.

    1986-1990 Toyota Corona (Carina) GT (either lift back or sedan) 3SGE up front fwd. Rwd it would of been the first Altezza or a 5 door Celica.
    Its so unknown as a sports car most people don't know it exists but it absolutely flys T-VIS Pegasus and a LSD 140+ horsepower.

  • @prds25386
    @prds25386 Год назад

    the fwd shift on the celica actually happened with the 4th gen (celica T160)

    Honda Prelude as a rear wheel drive with a Honda V8 twin turbo or in a all wheel drive version as we'll🥺

    • @jdmlifeline
      @jdmlifeline  Год назад

      That sounds hectic. Maybe a v6 from the nsx would be more realistic on Honda's end, would you agree?

  • @sau3rk1ng
    @sau3rk1ng Год назад +1

    IMAGINE if the MX6 was RWD though, that wouldn't JUST be the MX-6, the Ford Probe (which looks much better imo) would've been RWD as well

    • @jdmlifeline
      @jdmlifeline  Год назад +1

      From what we know, the ford probe was supposed to be a fwd version of the mustang but ford received alot of complaints from muscle car enthusiasts almost at the end of the development of the probe. So they kept the mustang RWD then release the probe as FWD. The Mx6 looks more like a 2nd gen Mitsubishi eclipse. Now if the MX6 was RWD, would it be successful as the MX5?

    • @sau3rk1ng
      @sau3rk1ng Год назад

      @@jdmlifeline the MX6 probably wouldn't have been more successful than the MX-5 but would've been more remembered than it is today because with RWD it'd be seen as a cheap drift car imo, which would be the same as the Probe as they are the exact same car on the exact same platform, Ford just designed a different body and interior, the 1st gen actually shared pop up headlights with the FC3S RX7

  • @bubot17
    @bubot17 Год назад

    Maybe one reason most passenger cars are fwd is because a 100 horsepower rwd car can be a handful for the average driver, whereas the fwd is much more forgiving

    actually i like the win in 91992 but they ended their winning streak in 97 when they did a turbo booster limiter, then when the FIA regulation people checkede it they found it and toyota was DNF'd from the rally

    • @jdmlifeline
      @jdmlifeline  Год назад

      That was really a clever thing toyota did. But yes they were really pushing the limit of a "loophole". Would you consider them genius or down right cheaters?

    Where's the Acura Legend???

    • @jdmlifeline
      @jdmlifeline  Год назад +1

      We forgot about it. But if it was rear wheel drive using the nsx engine. It could have been more legendary. Would you agree?

  • @Siteax

    awd and fwd is better than rwd so they are better
