The 2JZ GTE (2nd gen, JZ family, DOHC (from G, WTF?), Turbocharged with Electronic FI) could have easily been called the "183 turbo," or "3000 turbo" for metric, and it'd be easy to tell what it was.

i dont know i just hate those old "classic" cars that people seem to like. Big heavy square boxes with no personality. With the exception of the grand national. Its big and square and boring but I still love it. Oh and by the way there are plenty of people who will do an engine swap on a civic for less than $500.

well i think the reason you see older cars on the road today is that when they were bought there was less places to go . Now days its no thing to put 100,000 miles on a car within 2-4 years . Avg life span of a car now days is 5years . then its time to trde it in for a new 1 . thats why all the car manufactors come out with new modles every 5-6 years
