Don't get your hopes up Poppa. Best chance of him killing himself would be a front impact hit, which will probably end up ruining the motor. The tranny may still hold okay. Otherwise, I'd pray for a side impact collision that he caused by running a red light or spinning off the road and plowing into something.

1 Hour real-life working on cars is equal to 10 reading

trust me I used to think I was the fucking GM master, I start
working on cars and it's a humbling experience when you learn all
that information you studied doesn't mean as much as you
thought it would.

sure you can carry on a conversation about "he said, she said, I
read this and that" but can you pop the hood of a MKIII supra
and diagnose a problem, jerry rig a fan shroud (a la poppasmurf),
rebuild a turbo, fuel system diagnose, fuel component
replacement, etc.?

the most important thing I learned about working on cars, is how
to improvise, and no amount of article reading can teach you
inginuity.

I wouldntve been such a dumbass if I didnt finally get pissed off (again) at Kirk. I'm sorry, but I find it hard to respect someone who buys a Mk4, puts N2O (hell a NOS kit) on it with little to no other performance modifications, has been through 5+ different stages with it, finally ends up with (IMO) the ugliest pretty much you could get on an Mk4 also leading me to believe you singlehandedly started SupraMania when in truth, you only "helped", which doesnt really matter anymore since the minute you got your Mk4 you seemed to have instantly voided any love or passion you had for your MkIII.
You need to get laid sir. The after you get laid, get a fucking clue. Until you have actually owned a car and put in the hard work like Kirk and others have, stay the fuck out. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but in no way is Kirks car ugly, and least he didn't ask his mom to drive him to a Supra meet and pick him up. In fact its alot nicer then most TT's I have seen. The NOS is his own business, and the car hauls ass for what it is. I'm so sick of ignorant children like yourself comming and trashing other peoples shit. Stop talking about all these cars you are going to get until you actually own one. You don't know shit about cars like you think you do, and we all wish you would just leave...

As for you Shaun, I doubt you could even handle a mk3 if you wrecked the 350z, so don't even think of wasting another mk4. A camry is probably still to fast for you, get an old metal hoopty so when you wreck it you won't die.
I now a few people who race rx7's and own them and they all wish they'd have gotten something else. They are harder to maintain and with your knowledge you'd blow it up fast anyways.
