$100 for that car? That's a deal!! The body seems to be in great shape (except for that big dent on the passenger rear) !! What's going in that thing? Looks like it's time for a 2JZ!!

Lovin' that super charger!! SC on that car takes on a whole new meaning!!

the guy let the motor run out of oil and supposively siezed the engine. but the windows were down when i seen the car i asked why and he said its the way the car died. it makes no sense. what does the battery have to do with the motor? im thinking the battery died hehe. i asked the guy that originally owned the car what all had been done to it and there is a stand alone piggy back systme in it and he said the thing made 450 to the ground but he de-tuned it before he sold it to the kid i got it from. the guy offered me 500 dollars for the supercharger so if anyone can go higher than that it would be awesome.
