Default O DEAR LORD what have i done now (56k take lunch a big one)

well started the week bummed out about not being able to go to NEBF and was just cruising craigslist for junk and ran across a project to wast time and hard earned cash on ( like i have any of that to spare )
found a 86.5 supra for 400 and decided it needed a home near me ...like rite out front .

any how it needs a transplant good old 7M DOA lol ( none of the Toyota guys seen that coming i bet )

it is dropped 2" shaved door handles some body kit and aftermarket spoiler theas things are more than likely going away as soon as i find stock parts to replace them with .
any how that is the new addition to the house hold here

P.*. gojo has something to share as well

Hey its RWD at least, right? That means the possiblities are endless, or as far as your pocket book will allow.

If you do that, keep the kit and wing. they don't look that bad.

Mega NA build would be a lot lot lot of $, and would probably result in you being unique and not much else. If you're after the big power, stick to the turbo.

Snapped a rod eh? I've heard of it happening, if you leave your BHG long enough and leave a spun bearing long enough, it'll happen... but you'd have to be kind of idiotic to do that.
