Looks clean, but I must know why...an n/a supra is in the same vein as v6 mustangs and camaros. Or an n/a 300zx/3000gt, etc

Very nice! Why would you pull a 58k mi motor out to put a jdm motor in it? Why not na-t it and got r154? Just curious. I know v160 would be great and all but seems like a waste to just ditch the low mileage motor.

LOL at some of the dumb comments. The OP did it smart buying a nice/clean NA Supra and turbo'ing it when he can. Why spend twice the money on a "factory" turbo Supra lol. Shop smarter not harder. Some of the fastest Supras out there have built NA blocks and are not 6 speed.

Makes total sense then. Glad you got a low mileage MK4 to enjoy no matter if its boosted or not. Love the color too.
