Miata is always the answer, right? Dead wrong! We put together this list of 7 lightweight sports cars and they’re all cheap, plentiful, have a ton of aftermarket support, and most importantly: they’re not Miatas. This is D-List!

All of these cars are out of budget in my area (Canada), even with price conversions...
Where are you in Canada (province) and the civic shouldn't be, you can pick a running civic for 1000 or less.

God, I love James’s failed drag racing story. It’s a wonderfully realistic story about drag racing on the streets.
I believe it to be true all day...
@@aaronlawrence3965 I was driving... fast, and passed by an old civic hatchback... i went to change lanes a few seconds later and the car i had just passed by doubling its speed was next to me, i was dumbfounded.
@@biggabenne Years back I was headed home in my Stealth with cruise set at 70. In the left lane I see a set of Civic headlights approaching. He backed off and was hanging at my rear quarter panel. Knowing what he was up to, my cousin was in the passenger seat and asked if I was going to race. I said no, just let this guy keep playing. Well, then the guy starts the whole, goose the throttle, back off, goose the throttle, back off. He finally annoyed me enough, and I tell my cousin to hang on. The next time he dropped back I downshifted to 3rd and dropped the hammer. I pulled on him hard, grabbed 4th, still pulling, grab 5th at 120. I look in the rear view and see him approaching, FAST.
I look at the speedo and I am at 130 and just at that moment he passed me like I wasn't moving. My jaw dropped, my cousin was like WTF was that? I simply said, that's one fast ass Civic is what that is. It is a memory that I will laugh at forever.
Checkout the movie Better Off Dead with John Cusack, that drag race story is in there,funny
@@brianm6117 I've done this with my 2000 Camaro. Some dude in a nitrous civic wanted to race and he said bet pinks. I said no but you can buy me gas, I proceeded to show him that 500hp and my own nitrous works really good. I made him give me his nitrous tanks lmao.

None of the 1990-1994 motors experienced crankwalk, as far as I'm aware. As for the 1995-1999 engines, I think it was a bit overblown. It apparently was only a problem during low oiling scenarios. I never had a problem with my '97 Eclipse although I disabled the clutch switch as soon as I was aware, as I hated the idea of putting pressure on the crank with zero oil pressure.
You guys are so amazing at cramming details into the video

I had a mint 1994 325iS 5 speed when I was 21. I put it through 4 pieces of guard rail after losing control going through a turn. I still miss that car every single day, was amazing. Eventually got an E46 and just wasn't the same.
Man the e36 caught me off suprise. I've had mine for only 5 months now but I loved every single second I've driven of it
Porsche 944 owner here:
A $1k 944 is called a “part car”.
They're hyped up so much as "the cheap project car" recently that they've gone up in value so much in a few years.
I have a friend with one. It's a great cruiser, very comfortable. It certainly isn't fast, and corners like a soft 80s car. What it has though it lots of character.
And half the parts on the 944 are vw.
@@fastinradfordable they're mostly similar to VW but their parts are 3x the price. Just take a look at door handles for example: mk2 VW handles ~$15, Porsche 944 door handles ~$50 and they're literally the same except Porsche ones are either a different color or have Porsche scripted on them
I can't wait to get mine I've become obsessed with this car im hoping by mid 2021 I will have it
"Nothing is more expensive than a cheap Porsche."

Helps to do your homework though, some mercedes are junk, some are bulletproof. Stay away from the cheap entry-level ones, ones that scream abused, and no air ride helps.

Another good things about the foxbody is that fitting large engines is much easier than 1st gen Mustangs, which are close I'm weight. I used to have a 460 in my 84, different mounts and bolts right in
OMG ur fav is the mk3 golf. That's so reassuring. Generally the mk3 is kinda left out but I have one and I love it so much.

dawg you guys needa change the “no project cars” rule bc that would make a fire series
I'm 6'4. My first project car was a '64 Valiant. With a 340 V8 and a 4-speed, that car weighed only 2870 lbs, which was about 90 lbs less than my buddy's 327 Vega. Terrible stock brakes, but with some parts juggling I was able to swap to 11.8" front disc brakes from a '70 Imperial. Had to get custom-made headers done up, though, there isn't much room between the fenderwells.
6'3 and I've owned three NA Miatas. never felt cramped...

Panther platform cars are so cheap to mod, you could make one handle like a sports car with just some poly bushings and sporty dampers in the rear. Probably just $400.

2006 Subie legacy 2.5gt limited/spec.b (if you can find the spec b) literally just a wrx from the erra but cheaper and longer wheel base. Fast and fun car. Suspension is decent on it, they have some body roll and stock seats aren't very bolstered
The Crown Victoria. You can't walk outside without tripping over one, the parts are practically free, and it has, possibly, the most reliable engine ever made. And mods are everywhere, because it's basically a four door mustang. I've owned 3 and raced them all, until Chicago winters turned the frame to dust.
I think a huge part of why those aren't as popular with these car guys as other cars like the Civic, Mustang, and Miata is because of the auto:manual ratio. I've been looking around for a manual Crown Vic and there's very few around, at least where I live.
I have a retired patrol car 2010...they are slow and the transmissions were pretty weak. The other factor is when you are driving around town trying to get someplace the person in front of you does 35 in a 45 because they get paranoid. It kinda sucks

Soon as you started talking about the 911, my first thought was "Is the 944 actually gonna get some attention?" I've got an '86 Turbo set aside as a project. Still not sure if I'm going to keep the OEM Engine and mod it, or just swap it with an LS. Only 30k miles on it so I might keep the engine.
Former DSM owner here. The crankwalk mentioned in this video was only prevalent in the 2nd gen DSMs with the much maligned "7-bolt" version of the 4G63 2.0L engine. This was encountered mostly in 95-99 models, from what I recall. The older, 1st gen DSMs with the "6-bolt" 4G63 didn't have this issue, and so MANY 2nd gens had 1st gen engine swaps. The more you know. *ding*

@@keyworksales6241 I miss my 1987 Samurai JX convertible. It was such a fun ride.
Is James okay? He’s been looking depressed lately and I feel really bad for him :/ James if you hear this buddy, we love you and hope you get better
he doesn’t have the same vibe he used to idk i feel it
He's got a drug and/or alcohol problem for sure. Trust.
Yo we need to get this one more attention, so I’ve noticed this too and it worries me. Part of me thinks it’s just stress but I do hope he’s ok.
I heard somewhere that the high energy character he is on Donut isn’t really his natural demeanor, so he could just be easing out of the high energy-ness of the character a little.
@@BigStreams_ If that’s true then it make A LOT of sense. Sorta feel dumb for worrying, but it would make sense.
Pop-up up and down headlights
Crankwalk
Three more and we got ourselves a grammy worthy Donut EP
Just bought my first civic. Im loving it so far, its not powerful but man is it fun to blast through corners at full throttle
"...looking like my stepmom on the highway"
Does that mean that James' dad came back? 🤔
it means james’ mom wasn’t feeling the power of the kentucky cobra
New title: 7 project cars that are no longer cheap because we like them
Donut should make an album all of James's songs are STRAIGHT FIRE🔥
Great video James! I always wanted to try a GTI
Awesome video. I got a project car that’s not a Miata that’s also not in this list: An Audi TT MK1. It’s not going to be cheap upgrading but I love these cars.
Donut: The 944 is kinda neat
Me, a 944 owner: *excited screaming
Donut: we where gonna buy one but we didn't
Me, a 944 owner: *sad screaming
Donut :the 944 is pretty reliable
Me a 944 owner:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I was between buying a prestine 89 corvette for 7,000 but seeing as my dream Porsche was on this list I must ask you what am I looking at monetarily? I want the Porsche
I'm one upping the 944... I have my 968 being delivered tomorrow.

@@MrLayton1990 Honesty for $7,000 you can get a late '90s Porsche Boxster. It's a really fun car to drive and is basically a mid-engine Miata. It's my dream car and I'm gonna buy one as soon as I finish college and start working.
James: “MkIII’s are cool, I’ve owned about 16 of them”
Me: I guess they’re REALLY cool then.
Golf not Supra 🤢🤣
@@lebronjames4705 who said Supra guy?
i learned driving on my mum's golf 3... not that incredible. I've owned a VW eos for the past 10 years and it's awesome.. based on the golf 5.
If you owned 16 of them... it is because it break ?
@@ernestkhalimov177 no
We need an updated list 🥲🙏
The 90s Lexus cars, there were a few cool models and some had the 1JZ in them Others Had the 1UZ(8 cyl 32v 4 cam monster) which was also a pretty fire engine!
