After looking at the pics, I have one thing to say:
You molest that mint car, and I will personally hunt you down and make you wish you had never even heard of a Supra....

I'm all about jz's but for that car re-torque BPU and leave the SOB alone, tasteful P&P mods only.
P&P meaning real JDM mods
HKS turbo 75mm catback, 3" dp
KEEP the cat
14 PSI
retorque the head
HKS 3000 pipe
HKS intercooler kit
Some suspension.
Maybe a 5 SPD.
thats all.

You know, it's just begging for a big block and a blower poking out the bonnet
i was talking to my friends earlier about this car...i'm without a doubt getting it as long as things work out
my dilemma is what to do with the car
this car is EXACTLY what i have always wanted in an MKIII, minus the R154 and 1JZ which i have...i could keep it the way it is and it would be exactly what i've always wanted in a MKIII and i'd end up keeping it pretty much until i died
on the other hand, it screams rare...i could keep it all original and everything because taking the motor out would almost be doing a disservice to the MKIII community...if i kept it stock, i'll probably keep it for a few years then sell it...even though making a profit really isn't my goal for this car
in the end i know the decision is up to me if things work out and i get this car, but i really appreciate your opinions

When I found my supra it only had 36k miles with the original owner and was bone stock. Its a great ride and has no issues. I will admit that bone stock feels bloated and heavy so today its what I call sleeper stock. The catback had to be changed because it looked like swiss cheese. Go with the HKS. It looks stock. The downpipe and a lipp elbow were next on the list. Under hood temps went down, gas mileage went up and the 7mgte woke up. That's it no other mods even the stock cold air intake is still there. If you lift the hood all the heat shields are in place and you would be hard pressed to find a mod unless you were a Supramania member and knew what to look for. I get plenty of kudos for keeping it stock. Little do they know but thats my angle. There's nothing wrong with stock. There are plenty of members that wish their mkIII were still stock. Don't screw around with the interior either and start adding gauges and radios. Leave the rims alone. PLEASE!! Oh yeah and one more perk of stock. Stock is inexpensive to maintain and reliable day to day just the way Toyota intended.

So how much is he asking for it? Have you made an offer on it yet? Just wondering.
I say do whatever makes you happy. You the one paying for it right. In the end its your car! Well actually not yet! haha!

he didn't know what to ask and had me just tell him how much it was worth
i made an offer, but i'm not going to say anything...i genuinely would rather not say

i'm king ricer...i quote those movies for homework
Leave the engine bone stock, put wheels and suspension and thats it.
Or if you're set on doing a engine swap, 2jz 6spd swap.
