Now, to the juice. I hate to break your ballz, but this thread reminds me of those Facebook selfies that females like to share. All you see is some pushed up breasts, yet the caption says, "Got a new belt today". C'mon dawg, to summarize your thread, you just really want to show us your Supra and get your cock stroked by the internet. Let's be real, do you REALLY not know what to do and are you REALLY seeking advice from the forum? We don't know you or your life. FWIW, I think that you should grow some ballz and think for yourself. Maybe grow a beard, too.

ps. contrary to what all these fools are telling you, your Supra will NOT increase in value as you Canadians have the luxury of being able to import JDM cars. Furthermore, NA --> turbo never holds value compare to original 6spd TT.

You do actually know the prices of Supra's has been increasing in Japan every year. For a good Turbo MT you have to pay a minimum of 1.500.000 Yen and at least 2.000.000 to 3.000.000 if its a late 97+ VVTI.

Further more the assumption that price's of the JZA80 will drop when Toyota releases a new Supra are wrong. Because just look at JDM price's of the BNR34 GTR, they just increased since the R35 was released. A good BNR34 cost allot more than a 2 year old R35!

But the r33 gtr that are legal are a pretty hot bargain for a mean jdm sports car.

They are allot cheaper than R34 but in no way cheap. I have been shopping for a BCNR33 for a year now and still haven't found what i'm looking for. Its hard to get a good tuned example unless you want to buy crap off USS auctions that can end up costing you thousands when the engine blows after a few miles.

I had an '87 Supra that I purchased with 5 miles on the odo until last year when she blew a head gasket..

It had 129,000 miles on it, and though I loved the car dearly she was getting old and I was too.

The FRS I purchased seemed to have the same spirit she did, though at almost half the weight! ;-)

I sold it to a Father/Son combo looking for a project car to rebuild.

They offered me "visitation rights" when they complete the project. I thought that was a generous offer.

Very similar to me and my Rx7. The Rx7 mostly sits in the garage, I take it out on weekends & the occasional trackday. It has currently been sitting in the garage for 3+ months without moving since I was in a motorcycle accident. I have contemplated selling it a few times because I have other cars/projects I want to finish. But I cannot do it, it is a timeless car that I will end up buying another if I get rid of this one. It has already happened once as this is my 2nd FD...

Sorry about your failed reading comprehension, but how is your reply relevant to my post? No one gives two flying fuq's about where the prices are in Japan. The fact is, the price of Supras have been over-inflated for years in North America due to high [fanboi] demand and low supply. Since Canada allows for easy access to JDM cars, it is only logical that increasing supply to meet demand will drive the price down.

You do realize that 3.000.000 Yen is only $30,000 USD, right? That is nothing compared to the prices here in the U.S when 97-98 TT 6spd models are still demanding $40-60k depending on mileage (I believe a there is a <10,000 mile car in NC for sale for $80k or $90k, atm).

Dafuq? I'd never pay more than ~$30K anyway. There are better cars to be had for that kind of money - I don't need to own a piece of history, because that's what you're paying for if you're paying that much.

I'm with you, but trust me, there are people out there who have the money and, perhaps stupidity, to spend that amount on a Supra.

There are hardly any better cars in that price range, actually there is one that i'm going with. A BCNR33 GTR.

I had this idea that what if Toyota made the Supra a supercar back in the mid 90s
