    Hi

    I guess we need to post here before we can post anywhere else.... Anyway, I am a new owner of an old 99 Supra NA 6 speed manual. Was never looking for one, but it fell into my lap. Got the car for a steal - bit of a story though. Meet a guy who was building a 2JZ-GE IS200 - he was giving away his J160 6 speed. Got to talking and he mentioned the trouble he was having with the VVTI 2J and that his mate told him it would be easier to use the 2J in his brothers supra. blah blah blah - no idea at all. Got a message about three weeks after asking if I wanted to buy the lexus and 2J - said no but would rather the Supra if its still up for sale. It was, as long as he got the engine - I also got the VVTI 2J as part of the sale (just swapped motors). He sold me the supra for $2200AU - yep, Getrag V161, LSD, carbon fibre steering wheel, hard top black Supra for $2200 - without an engine (was running the day before) and a 2J VVTI. 5 days later the he had the shits with the project and I got the IS200 and the Supra's 2J for 2K - so lets say a Supra, Lexus IS200, 2J for $4K - two project cars now... He was a butcher when he removed the engine - no bolts were put back in place and hoses were cut every where so I am trying to replace them all. Done the timing belt etc while the engine is out and trying to clean up the engine bay - she was neglected, but she is all original apart from stereo and wheels. Anyway that's my story - no hopefully I can post here (how do I post in the wanted section?). Mick
