They go here in FL for legal cars..... 9-15k.

Theres no advantage for a real soarer compared to a 1JZGTE sc300, unless you want to deliver mail and show off to m4d tyt3 honDA ownerz with real rhd.

Now you wanna put a 3.0 liter in a real soarer??? wtf mate

Engine size isnt EVERYTHING. I'd rather have the smooth progressive torque curve of a 1JZ compared to the spikey 2jzgte. Ive drove 11sec supras before, wasnt impressed by the powerband, totally unuseable til very high in the rpm range, then u gotta quickly shift. Everyone has their own flavor tho. But it is true the 2JZGTE is capable of more power, that we know of

well the fact is that more displacment is every thing. now the power curve can be easily controlled by any one who knows what they are doing with a car and how to size a turbo my little 60-1 creates a very smooth power band when tuned properly. fact is more displacement equals more power much easier. i understand some ppl are going for different things but what im looking for is something that most would tell you is way to damn much power to drive on the street. i didnt sink 7k into building my motor just to be an averagely fast car


but now back to on topic i really wanna know what i can get for my car... you gotta figure a 97 with a 1j would go for a decent amount

you really think it would sell for that much? i guess since its a pretty low mileage 97 and 1j but i dont really care how much i get out of it, just enough to pay for the other car im buying would be fine.

The thread title is how much would you pay for a RHD soarer, not how much would you pay for my car.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
