[Vteckidd]

he originally owned the car, so i think hes allowed to lowball

[EmminoDaGreat]

the ****tiest one. sucks previous owners cheaped out.

[Kyle]

It seems like every owner buys it with an attempt to revive it or turn a profit, but no one ever does.

[BALLER]

I was partner in a project and then I was bought out. Best thing that could have happened.

I wouldn't say we cheaped out, it was just done on a budget.

Damn it J is still logged in

[HalfBaked]

Hahahahahhahahahaha.

That car sucked balls.

I daily drove it for a while.

[Crazy Asian]

ugh I hate it when ppl say it's "jspec" JUST SAY ITS JDM **** IS IT THAT ****ING HARD YOUR FUKCING TARDS!!!!!!!!

[Slow Motion]

Yeah why buy someone elses sloppy seconds........asking to damn much anyways for a 10yr old car i can get something from the auction at less than half that price and still come out ahead w/ enough for upgrades.

[Alan®]

so when you say done on a budget what did they go cheap on during the build?

[Tracy]

Glad we turned down the offer to do it for the price it was built for. You can't skimp out on things like that. It costs what it costs to do it right. Too bad it has never been fixed.

[Vteckidd]

It needs the same things it always needed:

Driveshaft-$300
Single turbo (since the stock twins are prob shot)-$2500 (turbo, manny, wastegate, bov, oil lines, BOV)
Front Main seal(common problem in supras) $20
Cam Seals-$40
USDM water pump and Pulle-$300
Timing belt-$100

Speedo and tach dont work

so that puts you at around $13,000 for the car if you do the work yourself. Still too much money, its worth $5000 in its current condition, no more, no less.

COnsidering you can find a shell for $2000, you can almost build the car for that price with stock twins.

I mean you get a decent suspension and $900 wheels out of it, but $9500 is alot for a car needing alot of work
