looked to be an n/a pewter car, as i was getting on the 990 near school. it was in nice shape, one of my favorite supra colors. just surprised to see a car like that out. i definitely did a double take while looking in my side mirror. anybody see this one before? how much would be involved in buying a clean base supra, and plopping an engine with turbo setup into it, along with supporting crap? ---

If your talking about buying a NA and going turbo its not really cost effective. When you factor in all the costs to convert it to a turbo, its probably going to be in the range of 5-10K. NAs sell generally for around 10K less than TTs. Theres more to factor in but that is the basic idea, dont do it. ---

True, its the entire TT package (brakes, suspension components, 6spd getrag) that makes the car. Factor those in and you are probably spending more than an actual TT. ---

what about just doing a turbo swap? i.e. no 6spd, no tt brakes, no tt suspension, etc… ---

You can turbo a NA fairly easily, the NA block is not much differnt than the GTE block. If your looking for a cheaper swap go buy a SC 300 which is basically a NA supra. There are some stealthy turbo SC300s out there, and you can pick them up cheap already done. ---

Maybe, if by grayish blue he means the purple one, targa top, stupid clean & 100% stock one… then yes - sort of. His name is Mike, lives in willyville, is a friend of my wife’s coworker. ---
