That was actually smokin' in the early 80's!

Ya I was thinking the samething, It just didn't come out that way.

Looks like a mix of a starion/old supra and an AE86. Wonder what the production #s are though.

Thats a nice and light car! I converted the kg to lbs and its only 2270lbs. Thats how it manages a 15.9 1/4 mile with only 140 horses.

That would be a fun car to make rwd and 4g63 :) Hey mike you up to this? ;)

Sure, right after I build Allans 1.8 I will get on it ;) I have moral issues with working on anything that ugly or slow.

Haha, I'm surprised Dane hasn't chimed back in with his love for ugly sleepers...

No hatin' on the Cordia. Its finally a topic I know something about since I've owned two of them in my life.

Cordia's do have a cult following in Austrailia. The 1.8L 4-banger is not the best engine by any means. But gearheads in Austrailia do swap in the 4G63 all the time. With a car only weighing 2400, a 4G63 can really make it move.

I sold my 88 Cordia turbo a couple of years ago. I had rebuilt the engine, but it still needed some other TLC, and I just lost the motivation to keep going with it. I bought by Spyder and needed the garage space, so the Cordia went up for sale.

The Cordias aren't a beutiful machine, but I love them. And as you can see, the Cordia was my fastest car:
