Check the link and pics. Nice car. If MG had built cars like this, they would still be in business.
Thats not bad actually.. A cool little Euro brit car all decked out, I like that and very rare to see around. I wouldnt mind doing a really old jag either.
you don't need to built a supra, just keep the stock 2jz-gte motor which has proven many times that the stock bottom end can handle power of up to 700+RWHP bone stock... with stock twins @ 20 psi, intake and exhaust is almost more than enough for someone who wants to experience what a supra can do.
Couple of guys (joe and chris locally that I know of) have gotten low to mid 11 second passes on stock twin turbos... but it depends on what you like - i like the idea of the 240 although nobody has given me a ride in an SR swapped 240 yet!!
No way on a supra. Im not forking over 20k+ just for the car itself. And this is a project car. Which means learning a lot and doing a lot. Not just bolt ons. for what id end doing, Id rather build a really cool old camaro with all the trimmings and have a much higher coolness factor.
Impreza L --> Ver V STi swap
No way in hell im working with AWD
Convince yourself man. If you need someone else to convince you to buy an import then maybe you shouldn't get one.
I really just wanna know whats out there
Build a DSM...DUH!
Cant stand the shifter or the pretty the whole interior over all.
