there have been 2 guys so far try to "estimate" money-wise how much it will be to get a supra into the 11's. Those numbers are so far off, I've spent a lot of money on my car, and I'm still not there. They forgot all the little things that add up to be a lot of money and a lot of time. A built engine doen't mean $700 pistons. It means all the time if you do it yourself, and the machine work that goes along with that. Like boring and honeing is something like $100, plus getting your block decked is another $50-70. and if you need your crank turned thats more money. Plus shot peening your rods isn't done for free, and eagle rods are $475. all new gaskets (turbo gaskets, oil pan gasket, intake manifold gasket), all said and done probebly $100, not includeing a mhg $130 (which was left out). ARP hardware $175-200. Widebands $300-450, installed widband bung $40-50, suspension $600-$1000 (if yours is all wore out and soggy like mine), AFPR $250, oil catch can $85, some sort of bov $65 (if your cheap) $150 if your stubborn about quality. cams if you dare are $400-700. and if you really plan on running 11's, i doubt you're going to do it on a $450 clutch, im planning on getting a $700 hpf bronze. im not made of money, im 20 yrs old and a full time student at PLU. Im not pissing and moaning right now, but you gotta realize that there are a million unforseen expenses with our cars. however, done right you can have an 11 second car that you can ACCTUALLY DRIVE TO THE TRACK. if you are real determined on getting a cheap 11 second car, my neighbor bought a '72 nova with a small block in it. he had less than $4000 invested in that car. but he is still jelous of mine which is a low 14, high 13 second car. because i got good gas mileage, and turbo cars pull like raped apes...... ok.... ill get off my soap box now, but sit down and do a detailed budget, plan everything, and then double it...... just to be safe lol
