Thanks pwpanas for your answer.
It s very complete !
It s difficult for me to have documentation about MKIV because in France when you go to toyota for have informations everybody don't know what is it!!
And i don't know this type of engine because is not the same conseption than european !!! So it s new for me and my garagist (it a friend), we always work on 2.2L or 3L gasoil !!! or 2.0 V6 volwagen sometimes !!
I ll buy it in 2 months normaly, after homologation (2-6 months !!!), i ll start the work, and i ll returns to this forum for adress or things like that!

I don't know what you mean here. The 3L 2jz-gte is available in both the Aristo and the Mkiv Supra, both of which were sold in Europe, right? Also, the non-turbo 2jz-ge was also sold in several Lexus models including the GS300, IS300 and SC300, all of which (I believe) were sold in Europe too. ...or do you mean "not the same conseption than" France? Please explain what you mean...

Again, what do you mean by homologation? Is that what you call France's import & customs procedures for automobiles?

the homologation is what i call France's import & customs procedures for automobiles.


In france, toyota sold nearly 90 toyota supra, it's the same for Honda with the NSX , it's impossible to drive a skyline because you can have procedures when you import it.

In france the most fast cars are germans cars! Nobody have modified car with 700 or 800 hp. Tuners often have small engine. Everythiks it's different. Do you ever see the Paris Tuning Show ? you may understand what i need !!! It's the best in France and i thinks a small meeting in the USA will be more interesting !!!

In the usa, where large-displacement v8s are common, a 3L inline six is considered to be a small engine too...

Unfortunately, no.

Since I haven't seen it, I'm not sure...but if I base it on some of the other auto shows I have seen, I'm guessing you're wanting a sweet ride that performs well, looks great, and has an awesome a/v system?

Are you planning to visit the USA for a car show, or for a Supra meet?
