I realise that suspension,engine,drivetrain, and transmission mods would have to be made, but how costly could such a project actually be? Furthermore, the base price of '94-'98 supra turbo's seem to fluxuate between 20k and 60k+. I'm not nececarrily in the market for a supra though I'm curious as to why the asking price is so broad (I realise condition and miles play a large factor). Any replies would be helpful. Thanks.
Did you read this thread?

...and this one?

The large price fluctuation for the Mkiv TT is due to:
1) Mileage & condition (a very few still! have less than 20K miles and are in showroom condition)
2) Rarity (eg. Quicksilver 6spd)

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
