Because all of the supras that I have looked at are automatic with targas because I hell wanna get some because my brother drives a 1993 Nissan 300ZX Man Targa and it is hell good.
I am only 15 atm but am a car fanatic, when I get the supra I am gonna replace all parts first for instance head gasket with copper/metal gasket, belts and then chuck a stezza system in with a pioneer head unit and a couple of 4 way 6x9s and yeah just take it from there, maybe king springs and coils, lowered, K&N Air Pod and Exhaust tip.
well to begin, the mk3 came in all combos: NA/turbo, manual/auto tranny, hardtop targa top. i have an 88 na mantranny, and a 87 turbo mantranny. as for the parts, looks like a good start with hg and belts. you also may want to look into replacing the vacuum hoses. you can buy a generic kit or whatever. i gotta system im tryin to sell if you're interested. pm me

what about lexus afm and 550cc injectors ya we might not need them like the turbos but more full usually equals more power just like changing the carb's on the old school muscle cars that and the most horsepower for your buck would be nitrous but only recommend like 50-75 shot at the most and a dry one at that and only for the "track" lol

i agree with u on that,
the nitrous system is still the best bang for ur buck
well considering the $:HP ratio

but it is abusive to ur pistons ur heads
and ur internals
they say a 75 shot of wet can be handled by a stock 6cyl engine

but did they say it can be handled by a stock 20 yr old 6 cylinder engine?

Probly a low milage one and i said dry i was told dry is easyer on your engine then wet and dry shot is so much easyer to install then the wet shot just depends i guess if i buy one im going to look for a wet shot and get me a lexus afm and 550cc injects
