Getting a Supra!

SupraMan1784 · 10-12-2005, 01:21 PM

stock turbos can go up to around 500 to almost 600 hp...from what ive seen...maybe higher...they can handle a lot of boost and the stock tranny...can pretty much handle anything you throw at it...but you might have to change the clutch around 600 or 700 hp...otherwise you'll just melt the thing..ive seen a 2jz with stock internals handle 1000hp... thats incredible, these motors were built to last

Thanks for the reply. But lemme tell u my situation. I've got a deal going w/ a guy named David Smith, he just moved to England and I'm supposedly buying his '95 Supra for $7,600 (brought down from $12,500). It's been closed on autotrader so u can't view the auction. But here are some pics he used on the ad:

It can be viewed here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/271898

The owner's name is Cameron, so...I'm thinkin' this might be a scam. Anybody know who owns this Supra and where they live? Thanks.

uh-oh....it smells like a scam....kind of like all the other ones we have been reading about in those other threads...dont buy it yet...cause hes sellin it for real cheap...lemme look into it first because $7600 is real cheap..dont send any money until i see that this is legit...i hope u get this before you buy

i hate to break it to you but its a scam...all the parts and labor he put into that car are worth more that 7600 let alone the 12500 he originally offered... that car has got to be worth at least 40g's...i was reading the guestbook of that guy's site...apparently someone else has also been usin this guys pics, so this david smith...is a scammer...false name...this deal is too good to be true and as much as i want it for that price...we'll never get it anytime soon, sorry bro...the car is located in cali and it doesnt look like the owner is selling anytime soon..even though he also has an m3 to play with....dont send this guy money...cut off contacts right now....and for some of the other members of this forum...if you dont mind u can post the guys email and contact info so we can harrass him hahaha...but i hope this info prevents you from losing 7600
