Ok, I just sold my STi last week. It was a great car, running 372awhp, but I figured it was about time I go ahead and get my supra. I've been looking mostly at N/A MKIV's right now, mainly cause of the price. From what I've read, there are no TT kits for the N/A correct? Is it possibly just to pull the motor and trans and drop in a TT'd motor? I've been looking and found several TT 2JZ-GTE's running about $1500 that have 30k miles on em. Also, If I do decide just to do a swap, Ill be looking at higher mileage supras. After the motor and trans are swapped out, what else would I likely need to replace on one that has 150k+ miles? Just trying to get a bit of info just in case. I might end up just buying one that has under 50k and wait a while before I do anything to it.

*edit*

oh yea, how hard would it be to convert a auto into a manual? I've noticed that about 70% of the supras out there for sale are auto's. The motors I were looking into come with the manual tranny, but what other work is involved in a conversion? Thanks!
