Well, there's always bling but I also just tend to like adjustable coilovers since they lower the car but keep the stock stroke (? Don't know the terminology). The difference between lowering springs/tokicko shocks and adjustable coilovers on my friends 240 was night and day. I think he may have bought some really cheap springs, but either way. I think I may just sell the 73 (only paid $800 USD) and get an 83 (have found a few for $1,600 in decent shape.) Thanks for all the help, again. For what I am attempting, I think the 83 will be a better platform, just because of the availability of parts for it (even though I'll have to import them.) I'm leaning towards drag/street/show, espically since visiting the supra store and seeing that, with a few simple mods, the 2JZ puts down about 430rwhp. And compared to alot of other cars (say, the 240) you'd need a hell of alot more money to get that kinda power that you would just getting a 2JZ clip, doing the swap in the driveway, and putting a 3" Exhaust and turning up the boost a bit. BTW I am currently enrolled in school to become an auto technician (ASE certified) so hopefully, the money and the knoweldge will meet up sometime later this year. Oh, btw, we didn't get the 1JZ in the states, that's the only reason I am not considering it, unless maitinence items from the 2JZ work for the 1JZ, then that would be the route I would most likely take (cheaper).
