One other consideration - daily-drive your n/a Mkiv unmodified, and save up the $$$ to trade for a TT. By the time you upgrade the turbo, and the brakes, and the transmission, and the differential, and the electronics, and the rims, and the suspension, etc., etc., etc., you'll more than pay for the difference beween the two vehicles. Do the math and you'll see for yourself...

Considering going back to driving my honda lol and just trying to sell this one for a little more then I got it for, i got a good deal from a long time friend. & he needed some cash now for his new daughter and that was just a weekend cruiser. so i'm considering just saving to buy a low mile TT in the future that has everything I want, (targa, and auto)

Glad you wrote that buying the exact Supra you really want (i.e. a TT) is still an option. However, I hope you don't mind if I remind you that if you're going to autocross, you'll be faster with a 6spd. 100% for sure. Roadracing too. The only thing an auto is usually faster for is drag racing.
