The 1g Mitsubishi Eclipse is a Turbo AWD 4G63-Powered Legendary Budget Street Racer
THIS is the first generation of the 90s and 00s street weapon of choice, the DSM deluxe, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Maybe there’s a Talon TSi or Laser in there, maybe there’s a GS-T or two, but they’re all powered by Mitsubishi’s legendary and long-lived powerplant found in the Lancer Evolution: The turbocharged 4G63. This is the Evo you can afford, but can you deal with the owners and what they’ve done?

The Infiniti G35 is the thinking man’s Nissan 350Z
The G35: it’s a rear wheel drive Altima, but is the Infiniti a cheaper or better buy? Is it cheaper than the 350Z? Are there any actually worth considering on Facebook Marketplace? I don’t know if we answer any of these questions.

We’re joined again by racebndt to look at what could loosely be defined as a series of potential street takeover vehicles. BMWs, Miatas, Infinitis, anything with rear wheel drive and a dubious history could trigger your rise to TikTok stardom and/or a permanent record.

The EP3 Honda Civic Si can be the k-series king of your boy racer dreams
Today it’s the transitional point in Civic history known as the EP3 Honda Civic Si. Yes, this is the first Civic without the double wishbone suspension, and yes, it somehow costs the same or more than an 8th gen, which comes standard with 40 more horsepower and a limit slip differential. There’s really no reason we should be looking at these at all from a technical perspective, but man are they cute. Honda Civic Si EP3, the one you tell yourself you hate but you know the dark truth within.

Nissan 240SX Design Language and Aesthetic Explained by a Body Kit Manufacturer
Today DorkiDori tells us what kits he likes, what he doesn’t like, and why you shouldn’t like that junk either. This is an all Nissan 240SX S13 episode focusing heavily on the S13 240sx fastback, and you might not agree with him but by god you’ll learn something today.

The Nissan Altima is a highway missile for the people
Today it’s the 02-06 Nissan Altima, the problem child of the streets you want to avoid at all costs unless you’re in one. Get yourself an Altima, roll one up, and hit the highway because it’s time to cut up traffic with over 250 v6 horsepower to the front wheels. No 240SX can touch it, nobody with a credit score over 600 owns one, let’s go.

The LEXUS IS300 might NOT be the car for you
Today Puchii has compiled a nice little powerpoint presentation of some READERS RIDES. You’re welcome to send your own car into collectorcarfeed@gmail.com if you want us to check it out; we’ll start looking at new submissions after 25,000 subscribers. MORE readers’ rides to come so if you haven’t seen yours, please be patient. The Lexus IS300 and/or Toyota Altezza is the birthplace of altezza taillights, the rice fad that started the second Toyota announced this car and basically never ended. Thanks Toyota.

The Lexus GS is one bad VIP build waiting to happen
Today we look at Lexus GS400s for about five minutes before boredom sets in and we look at planes on Facebook Marketplace instead. Just kidding these VIP sedan builds in the waiting are a great place to showcase your $5000 three piece wheels that cost more than the car they’re on. 2JZ no ish or a million mile 1UZ under the hood, your pick, but they all come in auto best we can tell.

The Nissan 350Z is what you should actually buy if you want a 240SX
280+ horsepower out of the box, FR, probably already slid into a wall or two. It’s ready for you and it’ll cost less than the swap you want for your dream S13. Soon? No. Today. Buy a Nissan 350Z.

The Nissan 240SX is a needle in the Facebook Marketplace haystack
You can buy a Nissan 240SX in 2023. It’s possible. You can even buy a good one, not just a stripped S13 shell. But if you’re going to hunt for a Nissan 240SX in (current year) you need to temper your expectations. It’s almost all chaff out there, wheat is hard to come by. You might starve. Maybe you should buy a 350Z. Just saying.

The Nissan 300ZX is the only affordable 90s JDM halo car left in 2024
The Z32 Nissan 300ZX, Twin Turbo or NA, is the only 90s JDM halo car left that hasn’t skyrocketed in value yet, but it’s coming. Before too long, you won’t be able to buy a 300ZX. Think of it like a 240SX that went to college: same layout, more engine, more turbos, more money? Maybe not the last one. These seem like a good deal so get one before it’s too late. Today we scour Facebook Marketplace for Z32s and it goes pretty much how you expect.

The Nissan 240SX is an extension of your personality
Oh you want your Nissan 240SX just to be a boring stock original condition example of one of the greatest FRs ever made? That’s pretty lame dude have you thought about getting an NRG quick release, Prisma buckets, and letting people know who you REALLY are? After all, the Nissan 240SX is an extension of your inner essence. I don’t know about you, but I can’t properly articulate who I am unless my car is modified to match my personality, and that’s not a bunch of gibberish, that really means something to me. Sorry I’m a little early on this one, we’re gearing up for May Fools

The NB Mazda Miata is the cheapest FR touge machine you can buy in 2023
Mazda Miata NB, the most requested car in CCF history, is a 50/50 balanced FR roadster with a five or six speed manual, optional Torsen LSD, and just enough power to make things interesting but definitely not enough to beat your buddy’s (insert literally any car manufactured after 2010).

This Factory Five 818 kit car on Facebook Marketplace doesn’t look like the picture on the box
The Factory Five Racing 818S, at least on the Factory Five website, looks pretty sweet. It’s a mid-engine kit car built on the 02-07 Subaru Impreza/WRX, and seriously, it looks incredible in the press photos:
Sure, the body panels don’t line up just right, but black hides everything. Sheesh! This is FF’s most affordable kit, starting at around $11000. And it promises a great time: buy the kit, throw in your junker Subie (we know there’s a lot of those eating up space in a lot of garages), put in the sweat equity, and baby you’ve got a purpose-built street machine unlike anything else on the road. Fun times and mad props from Cars and Coffee dorks in bucket hats and Tevas are yours to be had.
Unfortunately, this white 818S is the more likely final product of your labor. I’m not saying this guy completely fucked up, but damn dude. What’s up with all the aggro vents? Why did you put a screen door on the back? Why are there vents on those… what are the bumps behind the headrests called on roadsters? Can somebody tell me? Anyway why are they vented?
This dude sunk his blood sweat and tears into this thing and wound up with what looks like a cross between a salvaged C7 Corvette and a Polaris Slingshot rented on Turo. He wants almost twice what Factory Five claims it’ll cost to build one of these and says you “can’t build one for what I’ve got it listed for”. I’m sure FF’s estimate is way off the mark, but damn dude, if you’re going to ask full price, could you at least have not built a kit car that rivals 70s VW Beetle kits in heinousness?
Anyway, if you want to lowball him, hit him up.
What could have been. -
It’s time to buy your budget dream car
Today it’s an S CHASSIS REPORT as we look at a ton of Nissan 240SX listings on Facebook Marketplace. We’ve got S13s, S14s, an S13.4, and who knows what else, but there’s plenty to pick from and you better believe those prices are all OBO. Lowballers will be ignored but that doesn’t mean you can’t try, hit them with 60% of their asking price, ask a hundred guys, treat it like applying for an entry level IT job, who knows what will happen. Worse case scenario you’re gonna own a 240SX bruh, get to work.
