bad news...
 
i had to turn down the lex sc400 promised to me. with gas prices + insurance, i wouldnt be able to pay for it. even tho it had one of the best damn engines for boost and rwd,

instead, i get a 93' toyota camry v6 le . it is auto :-X

looking at parts to convert it to manual right now. so if anyone has any info on boosting toyotas, please post it. at least its like mint condition, only 70k miles on it .

Should have just paid cash on a honda. Cheaper & easier to work on. Who needs that toyota reliability anyways?

Toyotas aren't bad for a car that you plan on keeping stock and driving to the wheels fall off with minimum maintenance. I've always wanted a T100 truck.. can't explain why, but just something to drive and drive and drive. I would most likely keep it stock-ish.

I wouldn't mind getting a Supra of course, though ;)

I have a friend whos mom just bought him a '95 supra as a late xmas gift. This same person was looking into getting an NSX, then decided on an s2000. Got the supra. He also has 00 EX civic. Too much money.

I'm still yet to check out his supra, I should call him this week.

My father in law has a 1987 Toyota pickup. Single cab, 4x2 4 cylinder. He has owned it since new, regular maintenance, and uses it for his construction business. It now has about 270,000 miles and even though it looks like crap now the engine is still in perfect shape.

I got to ride in a TT Supra once..like a 96 or something.. only supra around from those years... anyways, sweet as hell. He's only been doing performance mods, that kid is awesome.

to clear this up, i did NOT have a choice in the manner. I dont have alot of cash, parents do but they blow it out when they get it -_- . I wanted an integra to begin with, but my mom is kinda into cars and shut that theory down.

and whoever quoted ---- toyotas, i agree with you . The thing is i am kinda stuck with it for a while, and yes, TT supras own, stepdad in fla has a 94 TT targa top, =( they wouldnt let me have it =P I made some calls and found out it can be turboed using the stock manifolds, and i might do a total pvc charge pipe deal :D

Oh yeah? Well how about ---- Aluminum blocks? Notice- I target no particular make of car... You had to know there are some Toyota people on here. I like Hondas, I have seen some pretty cool ---- happen from Honda power, but it just seems that typically the stuff isn't as tough as Toyota stuff.
