I mean... You realize it is going to cost you at a minimum to do it CORRECTLY like $25k. That's really just engine, tranny, rear end, ecu, and tuning.
He said the build was going to be a 7 -10 year process. I can't decide where to go for my lunch break, so I don't know how you build a car over 10 years.

Which basically = I don't have the money for this pipe dream 800whp vehicle. I'm only posting this thread to dream and reach my 15 post count to see the classifieds where I'll end up hawking this 88 supra to buy a 25 year old civic.

Gotcha

JacKaL, you're some what right there. yes I am trying to get 15 posts and be able to see the classifieds. Not for the intention of selling my supra though. ive been doing a little more looking into what all I will need and what I want to do. when faced with the predicament of not being able to see the classifieds, I thought what a perfect opportunity to get my 15 posts and to get more insight with my build. So suck it.

Also to trade an 88' supra for any Honda other than an nsx would be stupid as they come. and you would be stupid to trade an nsx for a stock mk111 supra as well. I'm not heavy into the whole performance thing yet but I will be. so if don't actually have any helpful information you could actually just stop posting in the thread I started for a purpose...

Bro, you're talking about a 4.10 rear end in a car with over 800 horses and probably a stock tranny. While the info that fab posted is sound, you are going to have more than your highway rpm to worry about. You are going to have to feather that throttle like a motherfucker just to keep your tires from breaking loose. And while we are on that topic, what kind of tires do you have planned?

Lol.

Honda kids. Listen guy, you realize you have to still be validated to see the classifieds by a mod and that this bullshit thread isn't making that happen right?

Second I've driven a 625hp camaro and a 500+awhp Evo neither of which are a walk in the park. I also know exactly what it takes to build a car that can handle that kind of power I've been a part of several 500+ builds. You can make all the power you want with an engine but if you don't put the money into the rest it's all for nothing. The rear end you're going to need to handle that kinda power is going to cost more than your supra is worth.

Lastly, why would you put that much money into a near 30 year old car? It won't be street able if it gets to 800hp do yourself a favor and look at Ryan Woons supra build... It's a 6 speed car that makes 1200hp. It's "technically" a street car but if you try to take off at less than 3500 rpms it stalls.

Basically what I'm really trying to say here is, you're not fooling anyone it will be an unfinished project forever and you're not getting into the classifieds with this facade.

I knew he was retarded when he asked about 4:10s in a factory tranny with 800hp in a fucking supra he'd be turning 5500 rpms on the highway at 70mph.

Not only that but I don't think he has a clue how much work and money it takes to make 800hp with a 2J he's going to need a fucking 9m turbo at minimum with a 250 shot just to spoil the butch and he wants to run 4:10s XD
