Squad goals.
Hopefully this can be mine in a few months time when I get back home. All depends on whether or not the owner keeps his word. He didn't seem in a rush to sell, so not too worried. IF this falls through, got a white Supra in Ottawa as well.
^It's in Qc
Anyway for now taking care of Claire. Been here a week and have already spent around $1200 on repairing her.
Excuse potato quality.

Jealous. I'd love an unmodified MK4 Supra but they're completely unattainable now, I'll be lucky if I ever even get the chance to drive one.
Supposedly my dad turned down a pretty decent MK4 Supra in the late '00s for $10K. If only he would've jumped on that..

This one's $12k. The white one is $13.5k and has no body kit just rims, pulleys and an exhaust
Untouched freshly imported are around $16-17k, and that's CAD.
Now if you want a stock, unmolested TT Mk4, it's a lot more expensive.

I'd be happy with an NA model, I prefer NA anyway. Didn't realize how cheap the non turbo models are, I've only ever seen the absurd prices for the turbo models online. That's still out of my price range though.

Yup. People are more than satisfied with importing an NA Mk4 and Turboing it themselves later on down the road. Some people even buy the automatics because they are even cheaper in hopes of converting it to a manual, but 90% of them never get to it so the market just fills with all these unwanted automatic Supras. :/
And like you said, if your dad had jumped on that before the Fast and Furious mark-up.

Well, I haven't posted here in forever. And so much happened! (Photos are in spoiler tabs because there are so many.)
First, I got this AEM cold air intake.
Then I got some stickers!
And I removed the small WRX wing because I traded it for an STi one, so while that's being repainted (because my car is black with blue pearl and the wing is grey, so it needs to be repainted), the car gets to rock a slick, subtle look! (With ghetto plugs to cover the holes.)
Everything's coming along nicely. Soon, I'll get it tuned for the CAI and exhaust (30 HP increase? Maybe?), and the wing will be ready by this weekend. And eventually, it's boost control time!
Also I was considering on some ECU tuning. I had my eyes on an Accessport so I could bump up the compression ratio a bit (since it's unbelievably sluggish off boost, which isn't bad for eco driving) and for antilag since there's this rallycross event coming up around my town. Plus, with an Accessport, I can switch tunes on the fly. (Which in a way, acts as an on/off/ switch for antilag because I don't wanna run it all the time, and just in case I want to save fuel...and because I'd like for my car to be quiet.) But I can't seem to find any good headers to replace the stock ones. I got a good enough uppipe and exhaust, and I'll be sure to maintain the turbo well and check it before doing the antilag installation, but I can't find some decent headers. Anyone know a good material to look for? (And before anyone asks, I'd prefer unequal length headers.)

It does have a pod filter. A huge, pretty red filter.
That aside, how so? I haven't really experienced anything bad. Increased fuel economy, a small boost in the midranges, and lovely sound. Hear air being sucked in a little more and some great liftoff noise added with my BOV./ (Stu stu stu-PSSSHH!) What are some negative effects of a CAI with pod filter?

Cold Air Intakes to my understanding can cause boxers to lean out without a tune proceeding the modification. Definitely wise to get it tuned as soon as possible.

Just installed my K&N Cold Air Intake on my 2012 Ram yesturday.

Too bad people over here expect their JZA80s to be worth over $40k, TT or not.

Would I be able to get my hands on a Mk.4 auto for relatively cheap?
Edit: Nope. The average for a Mk.4 is 49,999. And there are arses asking for 70k on unmolested Supras with 20k miles on them. Like...it was $40,000 when it was new.

I just edited my last. I'd rather have a hatchback than a super rare car that people can't leave stock.

One problem...I live a bit away from the Canadian border.
