Man some people just don't get it. Some of us here are Supra enthusiasts. To my generation, the Supra is like the 69 Camero or Mustang of my dad's generation. To mod out a Supra engine is cool, but to drop a Cougar engine in it is blasphemy. It'd be like droppin a Ford engine in a classic camero or vice versa. I personally don't care what this car is worth by Blue Book standards, I love it because it's a Supra. It's the last unicorn for guys in my age group. The ultimate ride in a class of imports from my day. To gut her and throw in any old engine is a cheap and soulless move. JMO, but then again, WTF do I know, right? :3d_frown:
of WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with you people.
Makavelli. Athough you did end your statement with it is just your opionion. It is a very misinformed opinon. Google the defenition of enthusiast before you use that word. especially in the context you used it in your post. That is not an enthusiast. That is an ELITIST.
Classic camaro with a ford engine. Seen it done with a 302, and a 351. It was actually a very nice transplant. I asked him why the choice of motor. To try something different his answer. So knowing this now , Did it put you in the hospital when they did that? Did it take your money when they did that? No?
hmm this is not a fucking religion. It is 4 wheels with sheet metal formed in a certain design and nothing else. It has no feelings and it does not think. You take care of it (maintanance wise) just liek ANY other car and it works. Hell people complain about HG. Fuck the 7m motors are running well into the 100k miles at least with some topping 300k miles (i was at 210k miles when my motor gave up) and all of you are complaining the 7m don't last??? If a 7m don't last i wonder what you say about a 459k mile toyota previa van........
I have another car that was said by the europeans that it shouldn't last no more than 100k miles as that is what is common over there. 130k miles and no sign of stopping. Why? Because I take care of the damn thing and keep it with fresh blood at all times.
It is quite simple to take care of a car to include the MKIII. What happens though is that most folks that are getting these cars get them and start adding shit to them for "powah!!" INSTEAD of repairing the 13+ year old crap that is in the bay!! THAT is why these cars don't last. Maintanance over power first and foremost.
