the 7m-gte, 7m-ge and 1g-gte and 1jz-gte all fit into the same chasis.... body is the same....

Only diffrence would be the mounting brackets / electronics and other htings along those lines

A well built 7M, 1JZ or 2JZ in a MKIII can make for an absolute BEAST. They're a very fun car and have an interesting way of grabbing attention and keeping it. These cars do tend to grab even the less automotively inclined owner and twist them into a Supramacist from hell bent on racing the planet in one of the BEST LOOKING CARS EVER MADE (just ask... that's what half of them will say).... or just looking damned sexy while faking it.

They DO cost more to maintain and even more to properly build than any Honda or Nissan.

In my opinion, my car's a beater... everyone else loves it. It's a f#$%ing Supra. okay... I really like my car too. It's ridiculously comfortable, has plenty of torque, lots of looks, and generally quite appreciated for how uncommon it is.

They do get alot of looks. But you have to be able to keep it running to get them.

Once you learn your way around it. It isn't too bad. But these cars require alot from there owners. Patience. Diligence. Discipline.

I can't tell you how many times I pulled 3 day and night non stop shifts working on my car.

Alot of people get these cars man and start to realize what's up and blame the cars when 9 out of 10 times the owner is the problem.

These things don't nickel and dime you. They hundred dollar bill you.
Sometimes to death. But when they run. You can really feel all the mod work you have done. They have alot of heart. But when they break.
They break and you had better have a cell signal or you're nike expressing it.

Well..., Good Luck and welcome.

I used to live in Long Beach right on temple by signal hill.

I used to work in Garden Grove.

If you want high horse powere get a turbo. Cause N/A's are like pi$$ing in the wind if you need that type of rush.

You want a quick little sticky car to roll hard. The N/A's are cool.

Buy the time you mod it out and delete this and that and get it running to spec. There won't be too awfull much you won't be able to repair on it.

But the down side is. My 91 has more in it than I will ever get out of it if I sold it.

Supra For Life.

yah i know, u never get what u put into the car back. but thats the car life am i right

but yeah im still thinking just get n/a cuz there cheaper and swaping in a 1j or a 7m-t but like always i always make a list of what i need done to it, i cant just swap in a motor and go, i have to change this and that before the swap u know, "water pump, spark plugs, thermostat, fuel pump, radiator," u know but yeah i just wanted to know if there a body diff between the turbo and the n/a mkIII besides lil cosmetics like the wing lights hood or stuff like that on most other cars.
