1995 Crapalier... it's got JDM parts

[sophisticated]

Those who don't know:
GM and Toyota signed an agreement in the 90s to manufacture Cavaliers in Japan, under the Toyota badge. Same body style, while various things are different. Over in J-land they are luxury cars. People love the things over there while in the US they are one of the most disliked cars because of their inability to be all that fast without a really really expensive build. Anyway, the Toyota Cavaliers aren't really known by most J-body tuners in the states. So the abundancy of JDM Cavalier parts is almost non-existant. The authentic TRD kit for the Cavalier... only three in the United States. Get the picture?

A 1995 Cavalier, a 1970 1/2 Camaro project car, a 2003 SE-R Spec V, a 1996 Eclipse GS, a 2002 Civic Si, a 1995 Eagle Talon ESi, and 67, 95, and 2001 Mustangs.

"Team Sophisticated: A Step Up From Other Car Clubs"

Since when are any of those cars 'sophisticated' cars? Lat time I checked they are all economy sedans. Ok maybe the Mustangs and Camaros, but I'm willing to bet the 95 and 2001 are both 3.8liter automatics.

Why make a racing club with economy cars, that aren't even modded for racing? Now you man say, ok someone has a 700hp civic that I've seen destroying a TT supra, there is an economy car that is now a race car; but thats just the point it has 700hp. I really just don't see any point in what you guys are doing. Save your money until you can get into another car.. I love how you have a kitted out celica on the front page and it says "Rice of the Day." What do you think your cavalier and all the other cars in your club are?

You do realize that 99% of people out there won't realize that they badged it as a Toyota in Japan, and will just think that you are a complete idiot for trying to make a Chevy into a Toyota, right?


Do people in Japan buy Chevy tags to make their Toyota's USDM?

I don't get it, but it's your car, so have at it.
