i wonder whats the drivetrain on this? certainly not a first awd supra I´ve seen a few.

interesting....

so it takes $30,000 to buy a bone-stock tt, several grand extra for a bad-ass turbo upgrade & supporting mods, and untold wealth beyond that....


....just so you can have a car as good as a $5000 vr4 with $5000 of mods.

haha with 10K total investment in a 3/s you couldn't even touch a bpu supra unless you bought everything straight out of the junkyard and only needed it to run one pass. Why even bring this up?

on a jdm (rhd) supra the ceramic turbos wont last very long even at 400 hp ~17psi. jdm supras also have much smaller injectors, different ecu, cams with less lift & less duration and smaller headers, smaller AR, smaller downpipe and cats, the stock jdm fuel pump is not enough for even bpu... usdm and euro supras generally got bigger and better everything. a "bpu" jdm spec supra is not the same kind of a beast as a usdm or euro spec with the similar mods.

sorry if needed to be more specific, gee. The general point is any 5K car is going to need a lot of work to get anywhere and a 3/s needs more upgrades than an equivalent supra. A 10K total invested 3/s car might get you a stock one that will actually drive everyday for years.
