I have some jdm powerfold mirrors I’m not needing anymore if you’re interested Ill check if the car am getting has those or not first. Do you have everything for them, switches, relays, etc. Also what color I'm selling my full car with a blown engine if you want to use it as a parts car. It comes with an Erebuni carbon fiber hood, JDM door sills, a GT-Four hood spoiler, ugly aftermarket wheels, and some other stuff. It has a blown engine and would make a great parts car for someone. The thread is here if you want to look into it. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=99241 Thanks but would only be interested in the jdm taillights i saw in one of the pics |

I couldnt find a cheap supra as those prices really went crazy so im getring a cheap gt4, which just looks like it might be a wrc.... As far as legacy and heritage people forget it was the official rally car at one point and it did win races despite its downfall so all that is debateable. But also not every car featured in a movie gains notoriety so the more i think of it im not sure the success of the supra or its price should be attributed to a movie. Eclipse, evo, wrx, rx7, jetta, s2k, civic and the list goes on. None really compare in value nor are they now considered collectibles when they are in certain condition. The question wasnt would prices get ridiculous but rather would and unmodified wrc be considered more valuable than a modified one, as time goes on... However i get everyones point that everything changes and one can never know and usually a stock car could be worth more compared to its modified counterpart ... Welp, you were the one to bring comparison to a Supra in your first post. ![]() The comparison was in terms of costing more over time as not many cars have this effect not in class. And production is lower on the wrc which is what made me curious about peoples opinion. by cheap supra i meant at RHD JZA70 TTR, their prices have gone up lately, this would be the only MK3 I would get, others are not so great in value. but anyone happy with a real gt4 and does not mind to pay 20K, and youre american, i say go for it. I sold my mk3 1.5jz single big turbo supra ![]() people seek the wrc because it was limited production number and easier to register?. even though theres no reason why you should get one over the original gt4. i dont understand why toyota didnt fit the Recaro SR2 confetti (found on the Supra)... to set it apart from the non wrc variant. Yea those seats as stock seats would have been great, i know they were fitted with recaros as option and if i find some for a good price i might buy them. people seek the wrc because it was limited production number and easier to register?. even though theres no reason why you should get one over the original gt4. i dont understand why toyota didnt fit the Recaro SR2 confetti (found on the Supra)... to set it apart from the non wrc variant. WRC cars have some of the WRC hardware that is disabled. Like, intercooler sprayers, piping for anti-lag injectors (I forget the rest). So it is a little different, though power output should be same. Someone had enabled the anti-lag injectors if I remember right, though it's not as easy as on some other FIA homologation special cars. If I were looking for a collector grade ST205, that extra hardware would sure command a premium. This is exaclty what am wondering. If left untouched it could fetch a premium over other gt4, and if that premium would be worth leaving it untouched ![]() |

GT4 price is only up here in the States because as Americans weve always wanted one, and importers saw opportunity to make some bucks, initially. Then sellers, saw what these could bring, and prices were even higher. what changed, from 6 years ago that i was offered a car at 8k, and then that very same care was 15k a year ago. NOTHING, NOTHING. was not featured in any movie, was not part of any good legacy, It simply became available to be registered in the good old US of A. When Americans want something, people see an opportunity to make bucks, would prices come down soon?, maybe. Id hate to pay pretty penny for a car that then would be worth its real price 2 years later. I wanted a GT4, but i did the responsible thing, got a cheap supra. not the F&F, lol, that would not be responsible.

I'm keeping my mods reversible, but mine didn't come with a stock suspension or exhaust, so I couldn't turn it back to 100% OEM without great effort, which I'm not willing to put in. I"m not going to go and chop up the body for a rocketbunny kit, but I'm not going to stress about the rolled fenders and little things. It's going to get beat up on track anyway. I agree with the rocket bunny, but man its tempting |

Thanks for replying and i was not trying to imply the st205 would skyrocket in price, more like would it be sought out more in stock form over modified, for purposes of collecting. What u say is what i have read but wanted the opinion of the community. Thanks Guess i wont worry much about it |

Hi all, Got a question, which i know the answer can be oppinionated, but taking the mk4 supra as an example, i never thought it would be sought out as a "collectible" with prices reaching 100k for low mile stock turbo no targa 6psd models. Is there any reason why one shouldnt expect the st205 wrc to be sought out more in a few years with stock models having a higher premium than modified models. I ask to know if i should consider leaving my potential wrc as stock as possible. Or is this just one of those cool cars that will never be considered collectible and moding the car wont "ruin" the price. I searched for collect but didnt see anything related |

You can access the 5th gear cover with it still in the car, and pull the 5th gear with it still in the car. Manny (pressure2) did the 5th gear swap and it looks really easy. I second this. Im doing a 5th gear swap as well very soon. Not too bad. Make sure u have a puller |

IC piping is gonna be funky. I see a lot of lag coming like that. Cut in intake mani and flip the inlet IMO, that would help a bit. How about the front (of the car) mount ? I assume you're going to loop the heater core water lines. That's gonna be one loooooong radiator hose too. Props for going waaay outside the box. Thats actually the setup for the 7mgte on the mk3 supra and also for the 2jzge -t you just use an intercooler with the two holes on one side. Not too much lag at all |

From experience (i.e. dealing with rebuilding my 7m vs swappin for a 1jz) this is much easier and alot less effort required |

Well, looks like I won't be selling the car after going through a tumultuous inner fight of rather or not to sell it. All for nothing too. Turns out he's been trying to get a loan to no avail to get the rest of the money for it... I was under the impression he had $2,800 in cash the day he asked if it was still for sale... I've had a few people stop and ask about it since then, but turned them away thinking he was just waiting for one last week's pay to have the money to buy it. It's what I get for being nice. Yup... know the feeling... I've been holding the Mustang for over two weeks now (have a $1k deposit), but now he has just said they can't find the rest of the money and he wants his deposit back. I had signed a contract with him that in my eyes says no refunds, but internet lawyers say that I need to give it back since I didn't have a clear and reasonable clause of damages and liabilities in there for each possible scenario, and I will still get sued.... I hate your f*cking legal system.... since when do buyers get to just sue for their deposit back when they pull out of a sale with a contract for personal reasons. You should've had it in the contract explicitly that the deposit would be non-refundable and to cover lost potential earnings. Anyhow, he said today he was still trying. Something about that he has $1,800 in cash and is getting his aunt to cosign for the loan on the rest of it. I'm not holding my breath at this point. He asked if I'd take $2,800 cash on that day, does that not imply that he has $2,800 already? If anyone else stops and asks it's free game now. I've already found a Supra and now I want one again, so much for being content. Thats why i sell everything on a whoever pays first basis even if its less than other offers. Whoever comes up with the money has all my attention i take no reserve/deposits etc. |

Why do you want to use the gt swaybar? Just FYI : -Stock SS-III Sway Bar = 14mm -Stock GT4 Sway Bar = 15mm -Tanabe GT4 Sway Bar = 17mm (discontinued) -C-One GT4 Sway Bar = 18mm (discontinued) -Stock ST204/ST202 mcpherson front sway bar = 20mm If you are refering to their strength by their thickness. The important thing is what are they made of? My friend said the same thing to me and initially i used the st sway bar for same reason. I can honestly say, the gt4 feels stronger and more stiff after all gt4 had higher quality parts unless im confused. If your not talking about its strength then disregard this post lol |
