Well, today i had someone bring me a 94 supra n/a 5spd, hardtop with some mods (i was looking for an NA to do a turbo conversion) anyhow, i drove the car, liked it, very tight handling car, i loved it, but its a 94 with some flaws and 120k on the odometer. it would cost me 10.5k so i would have a little money left over after the sale of my car.
Well, another guy wants to do a trade with me, hes wants me to give him my car without the wheels, plus 3500 dollars cash, for a 2002 Subaru WRX 5spd, black, tein type flex suspension, cusco upper strut bars front/rear, and a whiteline rear swaybar, with nothing more than a blof off valve. Car is flawless with 19k miles on it. you could eat off the engine, its so clean. Well, i drove the car and was amazed at how well it handled with the tein setup. Needless to say, i cant turn down a new car with an extended warranty. So im almost positive im gonna do the deal for the WRX. I love my fd, but i think its time to part from the rotary for a good year or two. I cannot be without an fd, so ill definately have another one later... maybe buy a project car in the future.
All in all, ive pretty much made up my mind. Im actually kinda excited about this.. heh. But yeah, i figured i would share it with all.. hopefully it all goes down smoothly.. Im gonna stick to the board, since i like it so much
maybe ill find my next fd here muahahaha.... anyhow.. rambling over.. sorry for it being so long..

the regular 2JZ motor doesn't handle high boost to well at all. are you planning on rebuilding it? the TT Supra had the 2JZ-GTE engine...basically an entirly different bottom end. there are 2 local guys that went N/A to boost, and they had to completly rebuild their motors.
maybe i should try and read an entire post before i get preachy well good luck man glad to hear you'll stick around.
