Hey guys... I have been looking for a project car. So a friend of the family and my dad found a 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo.... body is in good condition, but it needs an engine or a rebuild. The seller even included a new/rebuilt factory turbo for it. I only paid $600 for it, but its gonna take a lot of work.

I want to leave the Civic alone for a while to keep it reliable.

What do you think about the Supra project car?

Its an auto... but... it has the targa tops if that counts for anything.

It looks like I am leaning towards a used engine. I found a place that has the JDM 7MGTE for about $700. Its 230hp stock. Or I can find a 1JZ-GTE 2.5 liter twin turbo Supra R motor for about $1400. Its 280 hp stock with much more potential.

decisions, decision...

although i do admit the supra's auto is almost as good as the manual, i don't think its faster. i would still get a stick

I am still debating on this one... there's a couple of guys wanting to buy the car... so I may pass it on for now. It probably not my time for the project car yet...

Might as well pass unless its an awesome deal. Wait for a manual car in similar shape or better. Ive thought about gettign one as a project car, or a 240Sx or late 80's/early '90's RX-7

nope, the auto IS faster, i know for a fact. it builds boost better, and the gears are closer together

LJ you are not making this easy for me.... I keep thinking about whether or not to get this car. I don't know what I want to do.
