1. You all think this car is worth it?? http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1400399244.html

2. The cars is automatic and the guy selling it says its only pushing 420whp at the moment. I want alil more power..like 550whp. What amount of power can this tranny handle, till i need a th400/sp400? If i do pick the car up i wanna do the trans cooler w/ spal fan.

3. Did some research on insurance costs, i got quoted 150monthly or 750 for six months. This alot for this car? i didnt even include my minor traffic infractions.

Thanks in advance! Hope to own one of these beauty's!
With the AEM, you have to be careful - it might be tuned great, or it might be tuned horribly...you just never know.
He doesn't mention the size of the single turbo. 420whp is a terribly low figure for a single turbo Mkiv 2jz-gte.
The oem TT auto can handle about 500rwhp reliably, depending on a lot of factors like how hard you drive it and how wide your rear rims & tires are.

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.
