Wait until you see how much the rx-7 will cost you for repairs.

You are not the first 350Z owner to over his head in debt. And unfortunately, you will not be the last.

Great idea, seeing how a Supra tt with 120k miles costs as much as a slightly used 03 350z.

no to mention how much money you will lose by selling the Z... not tryin to discourage your decision but if money is an issue, selling/trading in you Z will cost more in the long run. And what makes a supra or rx7 more affordable to mod? However cheaper it is (dont know if its even cheaper if you factor in the cost of maintaining those cars), the money you save on the cheaper mods will pay for the money you lost selling the Z... my .02

+1... Supras cost more than a Z to mod. And the used ones cost as much as a new Z and at a reasonable price

Your reason for selling makes NO sense considering what you plan on buying. A TT`d Supra or an rx-7 will end up costing you far more than a 350z when it`s all said and done.

They do? Thats news to me.. Supra + a BPU is pretty cheap and you get some really nice gains. To get similiar gains on a Z, you'd need FI..

Good luck with your next car. If I ever sell my Z (I'm planning on paying it off and keeping it as my DD and then buying another used car) I'd get an R32 Skyline or an S15 and mod the **** out of it. Less than 4 more years worth of payments, haha.

so your selling your car, without really knowing what car you want to buy nor how much it costs? What are you going to do when the S14 is in the shop for a couple weeks for the engine swap?

You posted this on an Internet forum so you're looking for opinions. Heres mine. Stop listening to your 'boys'. Peer pressure is a ***** but no reason to screw up your life because of it. You feel like giving into peer pressure? Go bust a jack.

DRIFT ON WAYNE!

DRIFT ON GARTH!

240s are not cheap to "hook up". The SR20 swap will cost you near $6K to do it right with new mounts, harness, and all. That gets you near 230hp. Nothing. To get it to near 400rwhp, it will cost near $12K. That is what it costs on a 350Z as well. Only diff is you are modding a 10 year old car now instead of a 3 year old car. I don't think you thought this out too well. If you want cheap speed, get anything with an LS1 in it (Vette, Firebird, Camaro) and mod that. You can get a Z28 for near 10K and put $5K in it and be very happy.

Supra mods don't cost much for basic performance upgrades. For less than 2K you can get around 400-420rwhp(Exhaust, DP, Boost Conroller, Intake).

It's a Toyota, so it's pretty reliable. The maintenance/replacement of parts is where things can start to add up seeing it is a 10 yr old car. If you go single and ditch the stock twins, it can get pricey. The key is to find a good conditioned, relatively low mileage one and once you do there are usually many other people that want it, which drives the price up. Worth every penny though.
