Not really. Iirc Ryan spent around 5k for the engine and $5 - 6k for the trans, axles, etc.. So there's $10 - 11k just for those parts, not even counting the cost of the car itself or labor.

To do this swap with a decent car (around 60k miles) and gettin' parts on the cheap you still wouldn't be able to do it for $15k.

I want to do this swap myself sometime in the future and just getting a nice coupe with around 30k miles runs about $12k.

^^^^ but on the flip side, you know you will never get your monies worth out of mods....

especially when they are a swap on a older car. if you got 12 in FL i would be surprised. but if you can get more, and dont mind throwing away all of Craig`s hard work. go for it.


i know that there is a lot of heart and soul in that car, along with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. kind of sad to see you have all this done and to just get rid of it. right after you crashed it....

so how did the Supra TT turn out??? did you have to drive to Miami and look at it in a conex???

that's why a certain blue mk4 supra was aomthing like 3 time national auito-x champ? he won sideways at all the races.

Once he realizes how much he'll get for the scooby he'll keep it.

keep the car, or trade it to me for the s14. Ill take the damn subi wrecked.

Or sell it and buy a Honda. It would suit u well. cheap to fix for when u run into trees, cheap to maintain and can put up with a loose connection between the steering wheel and break pedal....hahahhahahaha
