    Decision is made, selling my rolla. Onto supra.

    Well, after wanting to do the 7AGE conversion, a 4AGZE swap, Turbo my 7AFE. I have decided to sell my rolla. I plan to get approx 3-3500 out of it. Thats everything but the subs, amp, headunit. Ill put factory headunit back in. Iv put approx 1500 into the car in everything but stereo. Stereo retail price comes to approx 1500 itself, hehe. Which is why im taking with me.

    But i will get an MK3 Supra Turbo. Inline 6 turbo, 7MGTE engine. 240hp. 3500 pounds approx!!! LoL. But after approx 1500 in upgrades, you can have the car at 300hp and doing low 14's. More mods more speed, 385 hp can get you into low 13's. hehe.

    I talked to toyota specialist, he said the best thing to do for performance is get a better car to start with. Either Celica All-Trac, MR2 Turbo, or Supra Turbo. He said labor for 4AGZE is 2000, and 1/2 cut is 2000+ about. When 4-5 thousand can get me a nice supra turbo with mods done. So its 1000-2000 dollar upgrade for me.

    What you all think of that?

    its hard to find supras round here. or anywhere in the us. you have to buy it offline of some japanese site and order your supra. then it has to ship it to cali to do the smog tests and shit. takes along time. and money too.

    there's this one car place near here that always has one or two supras for sale on the lot. i also see them all the time on the road. always a bunch of rich old people driving them, it pisses me off. its like the supra is becoming the new mid-life crisis vehicle. move over corvette!!!

    Yeah, i heard about the head gasket. But i will be spending about 4000, and most iv seen for that have had some work done to them already, so good chance i can find one with that replaced already.
