That is a lot considering this thing is basically a dyno queen....The power band must be long with that big ass turbo on there....But hey if you have the money then shoot...

[IALuder]

good luck. nice car. but fawking 27K for a 93. damn.

either way get new rims and the TRD kit for it.

[thermal]

i dont think 27k is too much for it really. You'll smoke any brand new car out there including those hemi powered domestics and the new generation of ricer STi/EVO VIII. i just I just look at it different.... dont get me wrong tho, I wouldnt buy it. i rather buy a totally stock one and mod it myself...

[AzCivic]

a bank will finance about 16-19k of that, so you only gotta save up about 10grand. than make payments on the loan.

[mavaaoife]

Not really.. when I turn 21 I get an inheritence from my grandparents(Whichis in 8 months) They set it up for me when I was a baby... and it's supposed to "Pay off college loans, buy a car, and buy a house" so.. Im not worried about money... problem about a stock one.. is ya dont find many stock ones these days that havn't been atleast slightly modded that are worth the price they are going for.. We shall see..

[ChrisCantSkate]

wow thats a nice car

[JDMFantasy2k]

wow i just ejaculated, everywhere.

i'm picky about supras and that is just beautiful. But ren you'd always have to have your boyfriend in the car, otherwise you'd pick up so many guys it'd be rediculous.

[mavaaoife]

Eh.. guy would TRY to pick me up.. wouldnt work... besides.. me in that car... too much for most guys to handle anywho... jay kay

[ebpda9]

for that kind of money i would pick up a muscle car and fix it. and they would be more than dyno queens.

[mavaaoife]

i dont like muscle cars... Only other car I would get over this: a 2005 Dodge Viper

I know it;s gunna be annoying that I am repsponding to posts one by one, rather than saving all my commenst for one post. I haven't been here lately..so it's too much to try to cram in my head in 2 minutes.

So, bare with me.

I agree with Therm, I wouldn't buy a car heavily modded. No pride in it. Yes, pride damnit, I have pride.

I found it weird, I'm 18 and my parents have a money market savings for me..well over enough for me to live on for years and years but I plan on using it for school and who knows what else. I always found it odd that those whom obtain inheritance go splurge on a vehicle for status quo rather than something for beneficial. Like Willy from Eugene, Karen.

Ew. did I start a new trend?
JAY KAY.

Oh, and above all, that IS a very lovely car.

[GT40FIED]

Like VR4 said, that thing's basically going to be a dyno queen. Supras are great cars...but they have trouble handling more 400-450hp in terms of hooking up. I once raced an 800hp Supra that should've handed me my ass...he just never hooked up. And by never I mean smoking in first, hooking for a second in 2nd then smoking the tires, same deal in third. But hey...it's nice work if you can get it.

Oh...and the body kit is a bit much for me.

[VR4_Craver]

Like therm said about not buying a modded car....wel because I know I beat the piss out of my stock car let alone one that would be pushing 500+hp on pump gas.....I am almost willing to put money on it that he has raced that thing at the track on the street at least once....

[mavaaoife]

I have wanted a supra for awhile... Im not getting it for looks.. not for what anyone else likes.. this is what I want... I am using my money to pay off my college loans and down payment for the supra. The rest goes back into ira's because i am looking for land to buy so I can build me a house. I am using this money wisely. My brother spent his on alot of shit and blew his money within a year.. I dont wanna do that.. so.. My money will pay for my wedding, my college loans, and the rest goes back into iras to collect more so i can buy me a house..

[mylittlecivic]

supra:love:

[Racing Rice]

Nice supra, but damn I could never pay that much for a car. Good luck buying it.

B-I-N-G-O!!!
Seriously....It's like the people who win the lottery..and 2 years later..they have blown 4 million dollars....Yeah I've always wanted a nicer car then a civic/del sol..but ya know...My education is paid off...all by myself...money management people.

Agree with Therm and MissJDM...pride PRIDEPRIDE! I don't think there is anything cooler then doing your own car up..and not to be rude...but I think it's gay buying a car that is already done up. Too easy, too boring, too lame.
The car is alright..but the hood and body kit on that thing are awful...rims are shit....Buy a stock one..or a barely modded one..

[MissJDM]

Man, DelSol, you so rock. "Too easy, too boring, too lame." Good way to put it. It's not just that, but Karen, also ask yourself if you're ready to work on it if things go wrong. I know you don't know much about civics, but how are you and toyota? Be prepared to know your car if that's what you want.

I dunno, I'm just so nazi on the buying a modded car thing.

[GT40FIED]

Can a Supra motor even realistically push a T-78 on the street? That's almost big for MY motor. I guess it depends on the housing and A/R ratio...but my guess is that you'd have major lag and wouldn't even feel the turbo until waaaaay up in the tach...but then it would hit like a tank and start snapping shit left and right. Hehe. But then again I don't know much about Supras.

[MissJDM]

Ran into an old friend yesterday and her exboyfriend, aka dumbass still has a em1 and just bought a t66 for it..has 660 injectors or so and planning on getting 1200cc. :D

He's also the one that I mention often who is boosted, with a fully built longblock, head package and running 16s. :D :D

He must be one of those "bigger is ALWAYS better" dumbasses. I've seen guys slap 850cfm carbs onto basically stock motors and wonder why the thing barely runs. If anything, that turbo is actually hurting him by impeding the exhaust flow. You too can have boost...kicking in at 8000rpm!

[mavaaoife]

Am I ready to work on it? Of course.. Im not going to buy a car I know nothing about... and like I said I would buy stock if I could find one around here worth buying... I think stock is just as sexi as modded... It's not like I PLANNED on buying a modded car.. Just happened to be one of the good ones I found around here.. But all in all I have no need to explain myself on what I get and why I want it. I've had people tell me I'd be stupid to get a house at the age of 20 with my money.. and as far as im concerned I dont give a shit what people say... No offense to any of you cause I did post it on THIS board to ask for opinions.. but in the end all that matters is how I feel about it.. when it all comes down to the final decision... but thanks for your input..

Why did you post it then :pfft: hahah jk gurl

What's wrong with the car? What's the persons reason for selling it? sometimes cars like that like to have hidding problems...Hope it's not a lemon.

[mavaaoife]

The guy has 5 mkiv's hes trying to sell... this one was his personal one.. but he says he just has to many of them...

I have this feeling that ^ post had Lyna in mind at least 1%. :). I guess I just can't imagine you working on a car because I've never really heard you talk about working on your civic or anything. I'll tell you that I barely know chit about Supras, as far as motor work goes. So, what do you know about the Supra anyway?

Buying a house at 20 is NOT bad. My dad invests in RE and it's one damn good investment. If my parents would let me spend the money on a house, I definately would. Too bad they wouldn't. :no:

agreed MissJDM....
can you handle tearing apart a 2jz and replacing everyting yourself? What if you blow a hole in the block?

I could. I'm an expert on the 2JZ-GTE motors. Or not...whatever.

[mavaaoife]

Honestly Lyna im a bit annoyed with your attack of every single post I have made in the past couple of days... do I talk about working on my civic... nope sure dont... am I working on my civic... Other than the sound system which Scott and I installed and doing the interior in red.. nah thats all.. I figured if Im going to get a Supra why continue to do anything to the civic.. Now the question about what do I know about the 2jz.. and could i rip the engine apart... what the fuck does it matter.. If someone said they have wanted a ferrari and had the money so they are getting one.. I highly doubt you would ask them "do you know how to rip the engine apart". Now I posted this thread on here to get feedback, but if anything I post is going to be end up being an attack on me then I might as well stop posting period..

Alright chill out.
The comment about being able to rip apart the motor...it's cause that motor obviously has A LOT done to it. Since it has that much done to it...I'm not surprised if it hasn't had the shit beaten out of it, it's whole life. That's the main reason why I would be so worried about it. Cause man I tell ya, if I had that kind of power under me, I wouldn't be driving it like I drive my civic. I can honestly say that I would drive the fuck out of that motor. Cause since i have 5 other MKIV's, I obviously could afford to.

[mavaaoife]

As I have said.. and as the thread name says "thinking" of... I highly doubt your ganna find a supra.. stock or modded that hasnt been ridden to hell and back these days.. Since that bullshit of a movie came out.. but honestly the whole point of what I said was back the hell off of me with personal attacks.. I am not the only one who has noticed lyna and you sol attacking alot of my posts...

[GT40FIED]

Honestly Ren...I don't think Derek or Lyna were trying to put you down or whanot. I think they raised some pretty legitimate questions that everyone should consider...especially when buying a modified used car. Maybe the posts were worded wrong...I dunno. I don't think anybody's trying to make it look like you don't know what you're doing (at least I hope not)...they're just trying to make sure you know what you're getting into.

[KwikR6]

^^^Thank you Steve.
Man seriously you hit the nail on the head with that one. It's hard to read the tone of words on a screen.

[C's 94 InTeGrA]

She may not even have to even rip apart the motor. You wont know this until she gets it and drives it around and something goes wrong. And if she does. Heck find someone to knows a lot about them and they can help her. Theres always a first time for everything.

Enough said^.

Karen, if I want to put you down, I think you and I both know damn well that I would do it bluntly. I can just say, hey, you know shit about Honda, why try to fix yours up anyway? i didn't. I was just letting you see it from my point of view that getting that car under your belt brings a lot of baggage..inside that baggage would be skills and knowledge upon the mkiv. Oh, did you contradict yourself emphasizing that the post stated THINKING? Well, if you'd consider it, and only "consider" it, would that leave room to fix up your civic? Not that I'm puning your civic for being the way it is, hell, my b20 is in pieces right now scattered from city to city. I'm getting side tracked and too lazy to go back and rephrase things, but what's with the Ferrari comment? Dude, if someone got a high end car like that, of course I wouldn't question them. The thing is, you have to realize that your modded supra isn't that type of high end car..it's almost like apples and oranges here.


Blah this is starting to get a little boring.

Oh yah, don't forget
"No offense to any of you cause I did post it on THIS board to ask for opinions.. but in the end all that matters is how I feel about it.. " :-D

yup.....
Lyna..I'm with you

[MissJDM]

More and more people[on hst] are refering me by Lyna now. :no:

[mavaaoife]

*Slaps self* Yeah thats my fault... Ill starts calling you MissJDM again...

[MissJDM]

It's normal from you and Darin, because I talk to you on IMs. Well, I talk to him on IMs but I've "known" you for awhile now, off of HST.

[mavaaoife]

Damn me for not having the money now.. look!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=174808741&dealer_id=53266936&car_year=1996&make=TOYOTA&distance=50&lang=en&max_price=&model=SUPRA&sponsorModel=&end_year=2006&min_price=&certified=&address=30329&search_type=both&advanced=&isp=y&start_year=1981&cardist=8

[GT40FIED]

Damn...that's some low miles. It looks unmolested, too. I wish they'd had a better full-view pic of the car, but it still looks nice. Is it worth $21K? Probably not...unless you want it that bad. What is it with people charging outrageous prices for older non-limited production cars. Something like a mint '68 Shelby GT500 I can see...but look at Buick GNs. People want like $12K for stock cars with close to 100k miles. That Supra has ultra low miles...but $21k for a 9 year old car? Not my bag. I bought my limited edition car for $6K in pristine condition and it was 14 years old at the time.

[mavaaoife]

ANY Supra these days are outragious....

Yeah...what's up with that? The TT ones were pretty cool...but even then not worth $21K in my book. I think I'd rather have an RX-7 turbo model. Those things handle like go-karts.

[mavaaoife]

whats up with it? The fucking bullshit movie the Fast and Curious... j/k
I looked up on Kbb and the price there says its worth about 19,430K..:confused: :confused:

even a 96 300zx TT would be going for about 15-19..

[MissJDM]

FC turbo II.

SO sexy.

mmmm 300ZX.. my favoritest car ever.. You can actually find them for pretty cheap. My friend told me if I gave him 15k he could find me a nice 300TT that is in good condition with low mileage
