So im left at a crossroads...what shoudl i do? If it had less miles and was a 5speed I'd definetly mod it and have some fun, but its not. so should i get a new car or 5speed swap and rebuild? Or something else , any ideas? Thanks -Anthony.

You will seriously thank yourself if you build the car. Do your research and do it right the first time. It's the best way to avoid disappointment. Swap in a 5 speed, do all the required maintenance, do the basics of exhaust, intake and bump the boost up. You will smile every day and for less money than another car.
boostin89 said:Im thinking of a 5spd swap, and mild rebuild. When i built my mustang i had a plan, so im making one for the supra. Tranny swap, Rebuild, Lower/stiffen, Bronzed 5 spokes, Re-Spray Darker Blue, And BPU+ We'll see, but for now thats the basic plan. I cant get any real estimates on the cost of the swap though, so i dunno yet...
