well theres your mid 13 second crx for under $2k
but Chris i was more or less showing the enormous difference in money when talking performance.
if you want to get all technical about adding another $5k to make it BPU++. that same $5k could make that crx VERY boost happy. stroked, bored, forged internal, ls/vtec style. upwards of 600fwhp where your supra is still choking and half a ton heavier
wow didnt know in FL things are so cheap over there..... in southern california a crx starts at 2g to 5g. those 800 kits are pos btw, they are all made in china.
any solara with supra motor===> not worth it. To have a build up 3SGTE is a more realistic goal. i believe many supra in the high end official races use 3SGTE instead of 2jzgte.
Better:
Used 92 Civic CX shell = $1500
JDM H22A and trans + shipping, extra components = $3000
Used Forged wheels and street slicks = $1500
Suspension = $1000
Grand Total = $7000
And if you wanna get "crazy", add:
Bride seats = $2000
CF hood = $500
4 piece chassis support (strut bars etc) = $500
All this under $10,000
It will run 12's with out boost.
Ad a couple more grand and boost it, juice it, intercool it, stereo, etc etc etc all under $15,000
Also, these are the best components. You could purchase with a budget and keep it
well under $10k and still have a H22A Civic EG
As far as a 2jz motor in a solara, you'll need an extreamly experienced team and a butt load of sponsership.
