like it says there, willing to negotiate. ill do what i can to get it for 110 if not ill find a few bucks. haha believe it or no i know how to get what i want from people. :icon_surp

I have a ct26, and I did have a spare head but I gave it to my buddy who has suffered a BHG. I doubt the ct would be worth using lol they don't flow much air. It would be sweet to get on the show as a community and take down either a domestic or go against another japanese car, I just hate that the car that represented imports against domestics on the show was a POS civic with an even shittier driver, LOL.

If we get more people in on this *cough* IJ *cough* Ill donate what I can.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

valve cover gaskets here, Intake plenum, exhaust manifold, and maybe even the 7m block can go if we do get somethign started.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

for sure. did you guys check that link? so if i do get this car for 110...where are we going to start this at?

 

[Yellow 13]

Ive got a spare 260K N/A block/crank, 260K head with stuck valve I could fix, 100K head that needs thermostat housing/EGR bolt replaced, N/A cams, Turbo intake manifold and a bunch of other goodies I can part with.

I saw a turbo supra rotting in the driveway over by a buddies of mine I could ask for a donation or maybe get them to sell for cheap.

Wheres Honolulu, California at? I thought Honolulu was in HI?

Im in the bay area if its anywhere close.

BTW I think N/A-T would be the way to go.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

lmfao i know, its a joke, anyways i just called the guy, and he wont let it go for 110, someone made an offer for 350 so he says around there...damn you person who make the offer. i asked him and he said the place where the plates go is gone, so basically just the front is messed up or damaged, i wouldnt really know he only put a picture of its rear.

see what you can do about that gte.

Makes me kinda wish I didnt send my 2 shells to the scrap.

Ill go talk to the people tommorow if theyre home since I gotta go by my friends. If not I might be able to talk my other friend into donating his black GTE thats been sitting for almost 4 years in his garage with a blown head.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

awesome. lets get this shit started...but i still want to get that damn car just to start a project car or parts car...but i dont think itll be worth it, my project partner wants a running car...

 

[Yellow 13]

If it comes down to it Ive got my project supra sitting untouched. Ive got just about everything to make it back to running except an intercooler and exhaust. I was planning on making it FFIM So I never bothered putting it all together. If you can find out whether you get to keep your car or not thatd be great cause I dont feel like giving up my baby.

Specs: Stock 66K GTE bottom end excellent shape. CT26 never used it but looks like its in really good shape, no shaft play. I have everything to make a fresh head with some good shape Turbo or N/A cams for it. I can get the 4.3 diff out of my N/A im rebuilding right now. My friend goes to Wyotech and is an excellent fabricator so I can have him make me some stuff cheap (Exhaust,DP maybe even a Ron FFIM replica) Think the only weakspot is Im running a W58 instead of the R154. The cars all gutted and Im fabbing lightweight FG dash and such to replace whats in there.

Oh yeah I have HKS 1.2 MM HG but I need to get the head and block prepped, also need some ARP hardware.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

i noticed. that you and i are always posting here...i think alot of people are just scared to lose thier rides. but if you know you can win it then why be scared? is it because there are always bigger better rides? well i know/think that you can request an even race, meaning a car with the same power as yours...yeah so they can keep it simple. well fair.

 

[Yellow 13]

There are alot of cars that can easily be made faster than an MKIII Supra. So why risk losing your car?

If its like most shows were you go out, race w/e, you lose and hand over your car then get it back when the credits roll then maybe more people would be in for it. I still havent seen an episode of this so I have no clue what goes on.

Id like to bring something to the MKIII/General Supra community so Ill donate what i can to it if a project gets started. It'd be cool to see more people get in and be more like a community, but not everyone has the resources to do so.

 

[johnathan1]

hmmm...this is interesting. I have a thermo housing I would be willing to donate.

 

[Slow66]

If i was guaranteed i could get the car back, id go on pinks just for the exposure.....I'm pretty sure i wouldnt lose though

 

[jtamulis]

I could prolly put together a low 9 high 8 second drag MKII for less than $6k
out of my pocket. I just don't have an extra $6k.

 

[Slow66]

I just don't have an extra $6k.

I think that all of our problems...

 

[daledoe]

I've droped 5K in to my supra and to make it the way I wont it I need a nother 6k..... That is all of our problems!!!!!! :icon_mad:
