Lmao its hilarious how the owners just sittin in the corolla like wtf while the nerdy reporter (no ofense) goes over the history of toyotas and japan lmao
Love the AE92 coupe. Toyota was indeed in its peak years. Amazing it has had a single owner for 31 years in this town. So it's been through at least 4 historic blizzards, including a whopping 28" in January 2006.
Oh, man. My first car was a white NX2000 manual with t-tops just like that. One day I was trying to dig a half burnt join out of the ash tray and drove it through a telephone pole. I loved that car :(
I'm dailying a '90 Honda Prelude Si (B21A1 engine) 5-Speed right now. Surprisingly fun to drive. Still running strong with 193,xxx miles. Headlights go up. Headlights go down.
68Camaro RS/SS - I own four vehicles right now. My Accord is down right now, so the next best for MPG is the Prelude. My others are an F-250 and an air cooled VW Trasporter bus.
I had a black 88 Nissan pulsar twin cam. t-tops, 5 speed , big stereo, rear seat delete, rims. I loved that car. I wish i could get that one back. they are super hard to find now in decent shape. Great Video!
Good to hear there is still love for the 88 pulsar nx. I have 2 -twin cams still o the road In cali. Both with sportsbak, and for a little car history designed in Los Angeles CA, and in Japan it's called the Nissan EXA LA edition.
My wife bought the twin to that NX2000. GREAT little car! I wish we still had it along with the Sentra SE-R that I had at the time. Traded it on an Isuzu Rodeo aa we needed more room for the dog. SE-R had to go so I could go to college. I miss both cars to this day
Jeffery Smith that’s rough that they had to go, but at least you got to enjoy them. My bone stock 91 SE-R is in limbo right now after a bad fuel injector install, but in the meantime I got my 92 NX2000 up and running for commuting, so I’ll enjoy it while I figure out my poor Sentra. People who know just know how great these things are.
That lady's 30 year old toyota is absolutely pristine. Shes totally a car buff (whether she knows it or not). Also love this kind of show. Kind of like a jay leno for modern cars. Would love to hear all the details about modern cars like whats under the hood, interesting engineering and design choices, and the (economic, regulation, etc) factors that influenced them(stuff Doug Demuro doesnt cover enough). Would definitely listen to a full episode of this guy talking about a single car. Want MOAR!
I had a NX2000. It had a viscous lsd, SR20DE. Rev to 7000rpm. Great engine. Great 5 speed manual. Super fun to drive without the roof. I loved this thing. But mine was rusted. It was too much work to try to save it unfortunately. 😔
@@MostGenericUser yea! Anyone who lives outside of it should try to find one and buy it. Keep it alive and drive it! The chassis flex was entertaining lol. The t-top leaks weren't.
You got me at that Kia Optima. A well-maintained and loved car is a really happy car. Got show some love to all those proud owners of whatever they have.
11:18 I had one just like this. Same color and it was a stick shift. The T Tops were AWESOME! Got it after graduation when I moved to Myrtle Beach SC. Perfect beach car. Fast and fun, never had any issues with it except when a deer hit me kinda dented the front fender. Wish I had one again it was that fun.
I actually own & daily drive the NX2000. it's a '93 with the SR20DE 5spd, a truly amazing car all around. its a shame not many people know about them. they're a lot of fun with good gas mileage, pretty quick too for what it is and handle like a dream.
I had one of the Nissan NX2000 in white just like the one you found! Loved it!!! It was a super fast car!! Had a stick shift then traded it in for a Camry!!
I bought an NX for $800 in 2010 because I was so ridiculously obsessed with the T Tops, and the digital dash. It was like nightrider driving that thing around. Australia considered it the most unsafe car at the time. I transported a Christmas tree the one year using the driver seat and open top. I had it shipped to Cali then drove it back across country to Philly. It died in 2012 with something like 300,000 miles. I STILL miss this thing and hope that Nissan can bring something like it back. Can't seem to find them second hand anymore.
You guys should do the yellow Yugo cabriolet in the Bronx right by Manhattan College, one of 53 yugo convertibles ever brought into the US its parked on the side of the road all the time
Thank you for the video. I had a 1993 nx 2000. All black. I loved that car. Never gave me any issues. I miss the t-tops. It was....stolen. I'm actually looking for one now.
I find it sad that in America a manual hatchback is considered cool and rare... Over here in Europe they're considered normal, automatic ones are rare.
I've owned many Nissans, including a couple of 280Zs, but the only one I still miss to this day was the weird little 85 Pulsar NX. That thing had some weird charm about it that was indescribable. Such a tiny, hard-lined, little go-kart with pop up headlights. It didn't put out much power but it didn't need to. It weighed so little. I love the sports cars that I've owned but it's the bizarre little grocery getter car that I miss the most. Wish Nissan would make the NX cars again.
Now to find a Mazda MX-3. I had two V6 models with the tiny 1.8L that you could easily swap for the 2.5 Ford Probe / MX-6 engine. Sexiest sounding V6 in existence! very similar to NX2000 in styling and size and very well made cars!
¿I guess the Mazda 323F (BA) was never sold in the US, right? It looks like the NX2000, but it's a 5-door liftback, and used the 2.0 KF-DE V6 (147 Hp).
They added LSD with NX2000 plus has removable roof panels in form of T-tops. One interesting thing about the NX SR20 is that it has titanium connecting rods which tells you Nissan was serious about making power. In 1991 when Motor Trend magazine did the first road test of NX, it went through the slalom either the fastest ever tested to that point, or a tie with Porsche 944 turbo. Great handling car that could hit 132 mph on top end , and felt it being so low to the ground!
I had a 1991 Sentra SE-R, basically the prettier but less special cousin to the NX2000. Absolutely love that thing. Light as hell, and the SR20DE sings all the way to 7500rpm! With some milds mods i was getting around 175hp, which is a lot considering the car weights like 2200lbs. I still miss that car to this day. The NX2000 is basically the same car with slightly better brakes. They are great autoX machines back in the days.
That Corolla lady was nice, the car looks mint. I hate to say it but city life preserves cars quite well, my cars are forever covered in mud and leaves in the winter.
In the UK we had that Nissan coupé but was called the 100 NX. It had a 1.6 litre carburettor engine. One of the last carburettor engined cars to be sold in the UK as everything else went to fuel injection due to European Union emissions regulations. That Toyota AE92 looks extremely cool. We didn't get those.
How cool is this! My first AND my second car both were Nissan 100NX (as it is called in the Netherlands) I became super fast in removing the roof panels.. I stuffed them behind the driver seat because my trunk was stuffed with audio (2 subwoofers and 3 amplifiers, which were more expensive than the car haha) Really miss those cars on sunny days..
Nissan Nx and Nissan Pulsar are two entirely different cars. The NX2000 and Nx1600 were only made 91-93. The Nissan Nx was my favorite car i have ever owned. Transformed the hatch back area into a bed area when you lowered the seats and put in nice speaker for the drive in.
The nx is hands down the most beautiful car ever made! Have my own I love it! The modular wagon was never taken off the ground. And it’s 140 hp. And a turbo kit away from 500hp
Interesting that you didn't see one pickup truck. Out here in Phoenix AZ it seems like pickups must be about 1/3 of vehicles. Lots of interesting stuff in my neighborhood out here, lots of car and truck enthusiasts.
A West Coast Carspotting episode would do you good - California of course is crawling with cars, and Oregon / Washington are loaded with good stuff on the streets too. My neighborhood in Seattle has lots of cool stuff to see - yesterday I saw 2 Suicide-Door Continentals on the street, one a '62 and the other about '67.
Back when I was younger, there was a Nissan Dealer that had them for 13,995. I guess they stickered around 17k. I tried to get more off of it and they said no, so I walked away.
Ahh... 1976 was the introduction of the Golf or Rabbit, the Convertable was made available in for the 1980s model year. The reason that Volkswagen kept them going through the Mk2 due to it costing less than making a new convertible for that generation....

That is one handsome little coupe if I've ever seen one, kudos to the owner for taking care of it so well.
every one who saves old normal cars through bad weather/disasters deserve to called heroes by the car community
Finally a little recognition of the NX! They're not as common anymore, but they're dirt cheap if you manage to find one. The 1600 got amazing mileage
This gentleman’s enthusiasm for the mundane is a pure delight. What a joyous way to move through life.

You don't swap the engine on the 325e, you swap the head with a 2.5L m20 and make a 2.7L stroker
This sounds a lot like a bit from rick and morty.
Yes! I totally felt like I was watching an episode of improvised inter-dimensional cable a-la Justin Roiland & Dan Harmon.
