Introduction: Just liked I promised here is my Japanese car list. To keep is simple as possible I am doing JDM cars. JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market. Basically these cars were sold in America. Watch out for my Euro top 10 list coming soon!
#10. The last generation 300zx is a real icon of 1990s performance vehicles. From front to back the 300zx is 1st class. The interior was pretty nice in these as well. You have a few cool options with these cars such as auto transmission, 5speed manual, t-tops, rag top, or twin turbo.
The first generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was made from 1992-1994. It used the 4WD system from the Galant VR-4. It had around 247hp and a top speed around 146mph.

The Conquest was made from 1984-1989. This car was idenical to the Mitsubishi Starion. The Conquest had a 2.6L I-4. This car came in turbo and non-turbo models. Early versions were called the narrow body and the later ones were wide bodies. 1984-1986 Conquest carried Dodge and Plymouth emblems. 1987-1989 the Conquest carried the Chrysler badges. The Conquest and the Starion are said to be the cars that blue printed the way for the sport compact revolution.
*The Mighty 4G63*
This engine has a huge following among Mitsubishi and DSM fans. Its a 2.0L and came in SOHC and DOHC forms. You would have found this engine in the most early and some later model Eclipses,Lasers,Talons,Galants,Lancers, Evos, and some other Mitsubishi and Chrysler vehicles. What is great about these motors you can make some serious horsepower out of these. I have always heard even from loyal DSM fans that the 4G63 can be undependable and a money pit when modified. There is something I don’t understand a 4G63 does something called a (walking crank) maybe a reader can comment and help us explain what that is, I know it does not sound good.
Below are some friends of ours Darren Thomas and Giovannia’s fast 4G63 Eclipse making a 1/4 mile pass.
This is a 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 AWD 5 speed owned by Jesse Gaudlap. Jesse lives in the sunshine state of Florida in Jacksonville. Jesse has been in the high performance scene for most his life working on muscle cars with his family. After getting older Jesse still liked the muscle car scene but soon fell in love with imports. He has developed a DSM habit owning some eclipses,lasers, and talons. After owning mostly non-turbo front wheel drive cars he decided he needed more for his DSM performance fixation. After learning about these hard to find AWD turbo Galants he had to get one and this is how the saga unfolds.
