Not to burst your bubble... but a lot of the current owners screw up, rig, and break just as much as anyone in the car's past has.

not really "bursting" any bubble over here bro, i was just making a point, since the "current" owners are the ones complaining right now. sorry to offend you if you were an original owner.

I'd get a new camry or a MKIV. MKIV over a MKIII, because it's a nicer car and there are a lot less junked/ragged/POS MKIVs out there to be associated with.

Atom FTW! But, I think you underestimate the cost. A really bad ass one is going to run nearly $60,000.

Wow, I feel like I'm the only one here, that thinks Toyota did a spectacular job on the MKIII - That's why I got one in the first place. Ignoring price, prestige, etc - the MKIII is my all around best daily driven car to build on.

if I had 20 grand....... first I would finish my car with about 6k. and then i would buy a diesel truck. probably an old 12 valve cummins, or a powerstroke..... as for another fast car, if i was ever going to buy another sports car, I would get something different then my supra. i love my supra, but there is no sense having 2 cars that are really similar. maybe an 03-04 cobra, gto (6.0), or a vette. i like all kinds of cars, but im tired of this 275 whp garbage..... i need a t4 already!!!

Imagine real quick what a $3,000 AW11 MR2 with a $17,000 engine in it would be like.







Holy fuck.
well, i've changed my mind a little. I just got a busted ass '83 rx-7 for $500, soooo, how about $4500 for miscelaneaous(i can't spell so stfu) stuff like suspension, wheels, r-comps, interior work, maybe a little CF induced weight reduction, then $15,000 on a Periph-port supercharged 12A? i could get a 20B, but i like the thought of revving to 13000 rpms :) I wouldnt spare any money on a paintjob tho

twinturbo stroked 7m MK3 FTW!
a stroked 7M? they already make enough torque, mightas well hang on to the rpm range that you've got

Swap a ls1 in that could be done pretty cheap and it would be hella sweet.
