The Popular Show / Performance Scene Cars Growing Up

[Roy]

So I am 33years old and recently threw out lots of old mags thati had collected from when i was about 12.

I couldnt help but smile at some of the cool cars from the late 80s and early 90s from teh Sydney scene.

Cars that spring to mind are:

- War-300, mint gold RX3 with Simmons that did well in the Go-Whoa at Summernats one year.

- RIPS , Supercharged blue RX-2

- GHOST, neat black VP Commodore with twin throttle setup off a VN Grp A that made good power for its day

Its amazing how quickly cars changed in the 90s, with cars like ITSMAD and the cheap turbocharged Nissans and GSR Lancers with early WRXs.

I still want a neat RX-2 coupe, PIGB8 was cool except for the yellow highlights.

So, any other cars that people remember from around Sydney, or from other states?

was thinking, would be great if you could get a before and after pic of some of the old cars. just to see what they look like now

I remember the candy red/maroon Datto 1600 with the FJ in it. This was way way back, one of FF's early mags. My brother did a lot of the build of the green wrx "freddo".

90s?

And a few more for our collection

I still remember nostalgically how gasps of horror or admiration emanated from people's lips when the R32 GT-R came to town.

And the ordinary man on the street on the cusp of the 90s couldn't justify paying the price.

WAR300 still resides in a shed in SA to the best of my knowledge.

I used to own FF(&R!)'s 'Project Pizza Delivery' RX-2, and sold it to a guy in country SA who turned it into a drag car, but again I think that's gathering dust these days.

[Roy]

Project Pizza Delivery,. was a green 4dr RX2 ? or 3? From memory it had House of Benetton Recaro coloured interior?!?!? Or am i think of th ewrong car?

I was shocked recently looking around for a neat RX2, they are big money!

[Iron Chef]

Yeah green 4 door with the multicolour interior which was thankfully switched by the time I bought it. Man I miss that car, so much fun...
