Re: Cheap RWD's
 

Those cars are fail unless you go coilover + some kind of setup with a panhard rod or watts linkage or something. From a rear suspension design standpoint these are about the worst cars ever made, which is a shame because the silly little Japanese grocery grabbers from the 70's had live axles located by 4 links + lat bar.


I vote 240 for ruckus or Miata because they're unbeatable, every other car on that list sucks.

Miata's kickass at AutoX.. that's all I have to say.

how about a 1987 grand national gnx?

F** yea!

If you can find one of the 500 or so ever made then it'll be at least $50,000.

A T-type will do though!

The title says CHEAP RWD's. I'd like to see a decent GNX go for cheap.

Re: Re: Cheap RWD's
 

fbodies use a panhard bar from the factory...

80s mustangs do have a 4 link rear.. not saying that they handle well.....just saying.

I'm confused about what Sketch thinks they have... leaf springs?

well i assume by cheap you mean. What decent RWD can i get for less than say 5 grand..... correct? It depends what you want to do realy.. Drag race? autocross? etc. drifting? HAH.

nissan 240s are pretty cheap/kinda.. a little bit of a mark up with the "mad tyte" drifter wannabes

merkurs are queer looking( i own 3) but fast and cheap, and they handle well with stiff springs

Mustangs fox bodies, well,, lets just say their strength is for straight line. but they arent exactly cheap for one 5.0 in good shape.


510s you can pick up a nice one with little rust and a few mods for 5 grand or less with a pretty much stock one. neat car, handle well, light

Rx7s Fcs and FBs are awsome cars for the money, they are light, good for drag racing and auto cross, good brakes.. cheap.. i think the Rx7 is an awsome chassis.


anyhow i forget all the others that are mentioned. good luck!

They use coil springs and the axle is located by 2 trailing arms, do they not?

neat.


edit: lol, just saw a diagram of the mustang's rear end... I'm speechless. I'm not chassis engineer, but it seems to me that if they had used parallel links with a panhard rod, it would have been cheaper and provided considerably better squat and allowed for proper articulation. As it stands the upper and lower control arms are facing different directions... which unless you're running ridiculously soft bushings would bind like crazy over every bump, or around every corner. Probably explains every fox mustang I've driven felt sloppy as a bag of shit (fun to drive though) .

VW bug - can be cheap if you don't mind rust.

Rust is awesome thats why I drive a Corolla; aka the gayest car in the world.

I'd like to see a beater GNX for cheap hahaha

geo metro stuck in reverse :D

how about a yugo in reverse? :)
