    Here i go again. Should i buy?

    my last few attempts at getting a nice mk3 just didn't work out and i recently tried a 2jz /r154 swap into an sc300 and that had to be abandoned because the cost of the project just got extremely overwhelming.

    I'm at it again. to buy or not to buy, that is the question..

    i kinda agree, there is absolutely too much work to be done and if there ends up being stuff missing, its probably gonna be more money than i would like to spend hunting for parts. Maybe if the interior was all there, i would deal with all the other stuff.

    JDM mk3 supra...uuumm?

    the MAJOR tecnicallity with shipping a parts car is the engine/powertrain HAS TO be in a seperate container from shell and shipped under different names and must not be picked up at the same timei, US customs is not stupid.. my uncle did this with and evo 5 from jamaica, then sold it for almost 30k.

    A/C R-12 to R-134

    check if you still have ac in the canister when its blowing, if it ran out you might have a leak. otherwise you can go to almost any local parts store and buy a converstion kit. my opinion r-134 blows cold as hell.
