eBay Challenge: Fastest Japanese Cars For Less Than $10,000

When you're scrolling through your local classifieds and you spot a Japanese gem, the last thing you'll have to worry about is reliability or build quality. But how much speed does Japan have to offer for less than $10,000 on the used car market? That's this week's eBay Challenge.

Here are the rules:

• One entry per post.

• Cars must have a realistic selling price under $10,000.

• Cars must be operable/easily restored to running condition.

• Completed and sold listings can be included.

• You can add modifications, as long as it doesn't go over the total budget.

• Write a short reason why your car is the fastest Japanese car for less than $10,000.

  Start here and find a car that embodies the phrase "VTEC just kicked in, yo".
