A few questions from a newbie

hehehehe, get a supra, and burn him. If he wins, shim your wastegate and try again :lol: True, anything can be made fast, but some are far more expensive than others to make fast. Supras are overbuilt (well, besides the headgasket on the MKIII and the clutch won't hold much over 300 if I remember right), and will take more boost and fuel all the way over 500hp without internal modifications. Try doing that on a civic, and you're talking a complete race engine, that runs race fuel and tons of boost or nitrous.

Oh, another thing, I own an 82 toyota pickup, and toyota can still make interior parts for it...not for cheap, but they still have the molds and can make one for me, so I'd say you'd be able to get parts for your car in 20 years, either that, or the aftermarket will take over making duplicates or upgrades.
