Subaru WRX STI

What can I say this other than this has got be the car that started everyone’s cravings for driving like a manic down a dirt road pretending to be Colin McRae. With a name like WRX which stands for world rally cross or (eXperimental) it was destined to be one of the greatest cars to ever compete in rally races. With its unique 4 cylinders horizontal or boxer engine as is called putting out 227kw gave this all-wheel drive monster the ability to destroy all its competition whether on dirt/gravel or tarmac.

This vehicle has become a legendary icon over the years for its ability to be modified and the very unique deep rumble sound that’s it’s known for, which is due to its unequal length headers.

This car is not only fast, agile and looks good it’s also practical as it is a sedan with enough seating for 5 adults. It is one vehicle that is sure to make everyone turn heads as it drives past and for this reason it is why since I was little I had a wallpaper of this beauty in my room, hoping to one day sit behind the wheel and drive the beast they call the WRX.

The Nissan 180SX

The Nissan 180SX The Nissan 180SX was introduced between 1988 and 1998. It was often compared to the Silvia S13 as this was its sister model. The 180SX was available in either a CA18DET 1.8L Turbo, SR20DE 2.0L or a SR20DET 2.0L turbo engine. The SR20 turbo a.k.a SR20DET and the 5-speed combo is the top of the range SR20 180SX that you could buy. Overall, this car makes a great project car, being very rewarding and not too challenging to modify.  SR20DET 180SX This engine uses a square 86.0mm bore and stroke to achieve a 1998cc swept capacity, while its compression ratio is 8:5:1. The max power is 150kW (at 6000rpm) and max torque is 275Nm (at 4000rpm).  DRIFTING The Nissan 180SX was a famous drift car. We'd imagine that real care would be needed while driving on a wet road, though. The 180SX is also used in the motorsport of drifting. A famous example of this would be Yoshinori Koguchi drifting a Nissan 180SX at D1 Grand Prix competition at Fuji Spe

Mazda RX7 (FD3S) Rotary life

Mazda RX7 (FD3S) I don’t know about you guys but one of the most iconic cars that come to mind when you think about hero vehicles from the last 50 years has got to be the Mazda RX7. It was a futuristic car way ahead of its time and had an engine (wankel rotary) so unique that it became a legend in the worldwide car community. The cars engine and looks were very unique to its time period it was manufactured in, from 1992-2002. The engine put out a very healthy 188 kilowatts mated to a 5 speed manual transmission which gave the lightweight vehicle great agility and control. Over the years it has become a favourite among car lovers for its ability to be modified and also due to its iconic (braapp braapp) engine sound.   This is one of those vehicles that when you start it up you just want to go down an empty backroad, with the windows down and revving the engine to 8000rpms producing that invigorating sound that makes people smile

This is Mitsubishi’s Flagship sedan that many people to this day compare against the WRX for its many similarities and differences.   This car was mainly knows for its ability to smash rally courses in incredible times made famous by Tommi Mäkinen behind the wheel winning the world rally championship (WRC) from 1996-1999.
