should i buy it??

A friend of mine is selling his 340whp 1988 Toyota Supra turbo(upgraded turbo). It has 150,000 miles on it and the headgasket just blew. So he's going to replace it. Also comes with a no dent/scratch full bomex body kit and some wheels(cant remember brand/model) with yokohama tires. He'd sell it to me for $1,700....good deal??

P.S. i'd keep the civic still cuz i like it, and the supra would be my fun car just to toy around with, mod up, and embarrass RSX's with.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Never mind... I thought it said 98.
1700 isn't bad. How much rebuild does it need (I'm assuming some other stuff probably got messed up when it blew)?

A kid I knew from school had two turbo'd Supras. An '88 and '87 or something like that. They were consecutive years in the late 80s. One was dark blue, and that was his daily driver. The other was black and built like mad. It was putting down near 500hp.

That kid was cool.
