I enjoy large amounts of time and money lost for little reward, along with my old lady bitching as the cherry on top.

4.The Eiffel Tower
5.The Leaning Tower of Pisa

Why do you make your supra fast?
I still cant figure this one out. Its because I have too much time, Not enough money and life is just not worth living without a toy to tinker with. Some have boats others have guns, rc vehicles, off road, wood working. Me i have a supra and I am dam proud of it, even though my girlfriend and my entire family hate the frekin car. I want to get rid of the one I have to start my new supra project.

Fast is a relative term. Faster than a turtle. Faster than a pinto, faster than a go cart. In your case faster than a Lamborghini. I'm faster than a turtle slower than a pinto. But to me with no good working speedo im fast, well thats what the honda guys say :naughty:
Meh, never really thought about it.
wait a minute...
WTF am I doing? This is ridiculous. Anyone want to buy a Mk3 Supra in nice shape? Lots of power...
j/k.
I like playing with things, and the Supra is my latest hobby. I take things apart, put them together, and when I have to replace things I tend to upgrade. Why buy more stock parts when they cost twice as much, produce half the power, and last half as long?
My first lesson with the Supra was my IC piping. It was all shot to hell, so I bought new stuff from Toyota. Months later, I discovered that hardpipes can be purchased for half the cost, and they never wear out or break.

Because I live in an area where parent's buy their kids corvettes and the like...
It's SOOOO funny to wipe the grin off their faces and put a smile on their girlfriends faces as I tear by them with the wastegate singing...

^^^ Amen, I hate yuppies. and spoiled yuppie kids. I live in a college town and see alot of kids fresh out of high school driving brand new M3's, A4's, Lexus', even Porsche's. it's terrible.
I like to work for what I get, upgrade when things when they break, feel as though I have accomplished something, and blowing past that yuppie bastard in his Boxter on the interstate as he wonders to himself "What was that car and what was that hissing sound!?!?" is the best feeling in the world IMO.

i like being able to say "i did it", or "yes, i built the exhaust." or even "i wired it, and tuned it and made 325whp/318ft trq on the stock turbo"
i guess we all have a common goal.
i just like working on my car, like Ian said im a tinker,gear head who wants to have some thing uniqe and at the same time fun and fast. smooth quite and agressive. some thing i can drop 50k into and it out perform a 500k car . or so i hope! lol
i mean if i wasn't there would be no reason for me to but a 1jz into a mkiii, or even a mkii, but that wont stop me, i'll dump it into a lexus before im done..
i guess also the craving for more then one T4 should really get me thinking about things..
shit's and giggles, can you tell whitch car's have the motor's in them?

Forgot the simple fact that a new car is expensive. Why spend more money on a slower car, that's less comfortable, and looks like verything else?
Reliability is one thing, but with the issues all my friends are having with brand new cars...

I own a Supra because there are very few around, and it makes a statement wherever it is at.
I want to make it faster because I need a re-match with a (&#$^! little turbo neon.
Revenge is sweet!

It keeps me busy. No other reason really, i could care less of what car i would own, i would still fiddle with it. Although the supra's do have something to them...
