Honestly.. I would say no. Although.. you probably have a hell of a parts car :) For the $$, you can pick up one better.. but thats my opinion. Plus.. its a NA.. I dont have a clue what your rear end is like, but my concern is rear condition on the body. Front can be fixed a lot easier than the...

In answer to Flateric, I cant think of a single one. However, I bought the Supra at the tail end of my "owning cars" lifetime. I considered many as well, vettes, older Camaros, Firebirds, etc (pre-70) and considered a new car (there are some "spiffy" ones out there), but in the end, I just...

If I was in a rebuild situation and had an N/A.. I would either go with the 1JZ or 2JZ swap or do a complete rebuild with forged internals (approx. 10,000 just for the build.. thats including a fully rebuilt and ported head). I think the swap is about the same or slightly less than a full...

Ummm... no, but the factors are pretty rigid. Either you got a lot of skill and free time (and equipment) or you travel the money pit. And... there is a difference between "decent" Supra.. and your Supra. I have truly tried to plan and whittle the $$ down to make my car what I want and not break...

Heya Daniel. Welcome to the forums. Good to see a youngster (1/3 my age) on the site. : ) Pics would be nice of the car

Nice car. I would do a couple things right off the bat though. Check your brake lights when its wet for condensation inside. If you see some.. replace the brake light seals (not difficult to do). Look closely at your hatch seal as well. Then.. stick your hands inside the rear quarter panels and...

I would think the above is pretty well a guideline with the exception of the Engine upgrade and system/interior. Done properly you can probably cut that in half if you start out with the correct plan. Unfortunately.. those that keep with the entire project will probably meet that cost in the...

I was very lucky, having built a car in my youth.. I went and picked up a cheap 3/4 ton truck to haul around parts in.. it became my daily driver. :)

Hmm.. maybe you and I need to talk about a little sale.. :P

Very nice. The 19's are monsters! Love it. Limiting myself to 18's, but that has such a nice look to it. 2 questions.. what intercooler are you running and what fogs are behind the grilles? I just put the very same bumper on my 88 and I didnt notice how the curves went on the bottom vents until...

I have a question for you, is that DM Spearco replica intercooler and piping just bolt on or did you have to modify anything. Love the shaved handles by the way, but Im a skeerdy cat when it comes to that.. lol.

I think most people's Supra experience (first timers...) goes kinda like this... EXCITEMENT - you found it!!! Disappointment - you found more than you bargained for... I know of 3 instances where people have bought Supras just this year near me that have went like that.. one died about 1 week...

Or.. you can consider that you have 4 controlling factors ... SCOPE (how large your rebuild project is), COST (your budget), TIME (how long you will take and how much personal time you will devote) and QUALITY. You cant affect one without affecting all. Decreasing any of the 3.. will decrease...

After reading all this (good "wise" post btw), and I had to put my 2 cents in. I understand the budget part.. and I have 6 kids and 3 grandkids... which means I have been on old mother earth for a little while. :) The baddest part about the MKIII is it attracts young'uns with a lot of hope for...

Welcome to Supramania. Cool that you are in Barbados.. I wouldn't expect many MKIII's up there.

:naughty: Car is primed and ready for paint this weekend... The sideskirts arent shown (or the spoiler... or the new taillights, etc... ) I love the Shineauto bumper addons and front bumper though. Going to have to do a little work on the inside to make sure it doesnt break too easily mind...

Aye to that!

Yes, I consider 6000 the low end for a MKIII even though you can pick them up for less. The reality of the car is that to fix them, you cant do it for a small amount of money. Currently they are severely undervalued on the market to what their actual worth is. As they get rarer, I think that...

Good find : ) and you got it for a Civic? Very good find.. lol

I was actually planning on taking my steering wheel right out. I bought 2 1000 Watt light stands for this.. lol. My garage is split into two and unfortunately the furnace is in the other side and they are predicting a very cold winter up here... I may borrow a space heater and put it in the...
