this is a cordia.... I need to get pics of mine up but these will do for now...



Its an 88 model with 157k on the clock. 1.9 litre 5 spd. When in top shape it is a decent runner maybe a 16.8 or 17 second car. Not bad not great. I havent decided on what motor to throw into it yet though but here are a few pics of some different cordia's.

It looks a little like the old Supras and the Conquest...I don't like the rear fenders, though.

yeah that is my thing with it too.... I was thinking about cutting it and modifying it for a round wheel well.....



But the car handles well and has decent pickup with the motor it has... though the motor is on its last leg... but hey I got it beyond cheap!



yeah I have been trying to find stuff that looks good on it... I have decided to get a set of centerline rims for the car. I was wanting the black finished Centerline 17 inch RPM's.



The Conquest and the Starion are the cars bigger brothers.... This is the Pre Eclipse. Simple and easy!



This one I have has no power anything!

Manual steering

Manual brakes

Non Hydraulic clutch I am told

No sound deadening

No power locks

No power windows

No power mirrors

No power seats

It has A/C but I may delete it...





Hey shane thanx for the comment!

bwhahaha



I drove that svo and put it into reverse like I would my GT and the turbo kicked in and it slide sideways some because it broke them loose! lol



My g/f hates going fast backwards.







But this is my new project car....

Whether a mitsu engine goes in or a Rotary goes in it will be my daily driver as I will either sell my GT or buy a 60's mustang to drop the driveline into....
