MkI gt3's are just as rare (or rarer) in USA than m3 csl. Street or track.

I dunno about that. TT's that are 2 years newer than your car are selling in the 30's now:

You probably paid $20K or more for your car, and a supercharger kit is probably $6-10K, and then you have to watch out for a '99 engine blowing up on you which is another $15K... (it's a totally different/weaker engine than the TT engine). You may have to upgrade other components like clutch, half shafts, tranny, etc... So it may very well not be cheaper.
If you have the money to spend on upgrades, you'd probably be better off selling this car and buying a TT.

nice ride but definately lose the gt3 badge, and if your not going to change your user name you should at the very least change your sig, it really looks like you are trying to pass your car off as gt3 which most peolple will not find cool
you should do an amberectomy on the headlights, it will really clean up the front end and the best part is it doesnt cost anything

Nice car...I have an 02 C2 but the Supra is actually my dream car...haha
The license plate should go back on the supra, we can only dream of a C2 hitting 201 mph in a standing mile or flat out for mile after mile

Update....
I'm in the process of getting my BBS center cention of the wheels powdercoated black and leaving the polished lip. I think it will look good!
I'm also thinking of this gt3 front bumper....what do you guys think? Worth buying?

And....anybody have any experience with HID kits for these cars? I've heard they burn holes in the headlight??? Is this true? If not, I'd really like to jump on ordering a set of Phillips HID's for this car. Let me know guys thanks!
