Look for copies of Turbo and High Technology, they have a 10 part build up of the Supra, aiming for around 900 hp. Lots of good stuff.

The Turbo and High Tech build up wasn't just about adding a turbo. It had info on strengthening the block and all the nice internal bits, improving head flow, and ALL the stuff that goes into building up an engine, not just putting a turbo on it.

Really!? That's all you paid? Where I live they go for somewhere around $20,000. I guess there arent very many here though.

I live in southern california, and they go for about $30,000 reguardless of mileage. For $15,000 you can get an automatic non turbo with really high miles (100,000+) So now that everybody knows that you are a liar, what color is you escort?

you know what, frankly i don't like people calling me a liar but you are entitled to your own opinion so if you think i am a liar that is too bad for me but otherwise the guy we bought it from was an idiot who used kellybluebook.com to get a price quote on the car and really i was suprised that it was so cheap but i am happy driving it and if you think i don't own it as i said before you are entitled to your own opinion and that is ok

Explain to me why Kelly Blue Book values it at $23,000 for dealership trade in on the Turbo Liftback (No TT models available for that year liar) and $19,000 for private party trades? Lets not forget that people who own Supras know that people are willing to pay more than KBB prices too, which are never upheld.
