Sorry I don't understand. Do you mean cooler-looking? ...or cooler temperatures (as in engine/oil/coolant)? ...or are you talking about better air conditioning inside the cockpit?

If you're talking about cooler-looking, then a good set of aftermarket rims, and a nice 'catback' exhaust system will add a lot to the looks of the car. You could also upgrade the stereo too, since the oem Mkiv Stereo uses sound system technology from the early '90s. Again, be sure those aftermarket rims are a lot wider than stock (imo at least 11" wide in the rear), in order to get better traction for drag racing. For more advice on looks/bling, let's wait and see exactly what we're working with after you purchase your Supra...

For what it's worth I say keep looking. Fixing up a wrecked Mkiv Supra Turbo properly will be very, very expensive. Don't forget this isn't a pickup truck or a geo metro. It's an ultra-high-performance GT sportscar. For example, if you take a written-off Mkiv Supra TT to bubba down the street to pull and weld the frame, then to bubba's 'kissin-cuzin's ex-husband' for bodywork&paint, it's very doubtful that you'd end up with anything close to the reliable high performance capability as a 'good' (un-wrecked) Mkiv TT.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
