Great car Kim. Did you do all the mods yourself? Just seems strange someone would put the time and money into supercharging a car and then sell it because of fuel prices.

yeh i have done most the mods. yeh well i have been feeling the fuel bill but its not just that. i would love to continue on the project like put a manual in it and an after market computer but i have been interested in the 1jz engine for a while now and want to see what i can do with them. so looking into buying a good tt soarer and start having fun building a turbo car. plus from the money i don't spend on the tt i will prob buy a little cheap run round car . i makes sense to me

SOmetimes its better the devil you know, than the one you dont....
TT's are cheap, but some are cheap for a reason you know.... I can understand the want to play with a TT though, as you cant beat bang for buck! Spend under $2500 on a TT and you will make over 200rwkw easy and run easy mid-low 13 second 1/4's... impossible to do on a v8. And the TT aint too bad on fuel... Depends on your right foot though! Hehe

I'd put a tag of $15,000 on that, with that list of mods. Plus the interior seems to be in decent condition. Get in on the group buy of the floor mats mate, they're a great upgrade to the interior.
May want to take off the green P plates when you advertise the car though...

yeh i put it the for sale forum for 19k but want to delete it. yeh ill prob start round 15-16k seems reasonable. i will take the p plates off for some new pics. sucks how people have that mentality. thought they might think differently with a UZZ31. also thought they might run it through their heads why would i go to all the trouble of doing all the mods to just go thrash the car. oh well. very keen on a tt. if they find a vid on it then i hope they will just say WEAPON and think how tuff it must be.haha. should be putting it on car sales on the weekend all we shall see how it goes. i say i wont miss it if i have a tt to play with but i know i will. extremely hard to part with a car that you have built up and know basically every part of it.
