RE: i thinking im drifting to the yellow side
Terminators are not that easy to find though (I live in FL)... Lots of people are looking for those, but it's a great move and those cars will be collectors items without a doubt.
I know it sucks to have your car messed up the way he did and that would make me depressed but since he's allowed to take his mods in case of a total loss, he can find a low mile GT and swap it all.
Just a thought.

Funny... I sold my Supra to get a 'stang...
Don't do it. Supra's are great and all, but to get big HP, you hafta live with big lag. Also, parts are getting harder to find, and finding one that hasn't been flogged like a rented mule is harder than you would think.

RE: i thinking im drifting to the yellow side
People need to stop buying into the "Fast and Furious" rep this car has.
They handle badly and need money spending on suspension and brakes. Quite a bit to be fairly competant.
They look awful now.
To make big power you have to put up with terrible lag and a tiny power band.
They are expensive to run and expensive to repair when something goes wrong which is definiately likely to happen on a 10+yr old car like this.
There are so many cars that are better. Just dont get why this car is such a holy grail to the rice fans.

Bad choice man, bad bad choice. You'retaking performance too far, and you're going to end up with an old car plain and simple. Is performance that important?? If this is your DD then you need to think more rationally. If you want better performance then fine, but get a recently used WRX or something, not a straight up oldcar like a Supra. Its from 1998 at the best! Yuck.

EWWW I'm sorry better put money on the side for repairs. If you want to go rice get something that is at least acceptable like a wrx sti or a evolution. Oh well at least I don't have to drive it
