Find an S2K if you're considering a RHD Supra. I still dont see why anyone would want a RHD car to drive here.

if you are looking into a rhd supra, get a 95+ rz from japan. make sure it is optioned out to have the big brakes, no t-top, recaros. its rz so 6 speed is a must.
all the so called rhd ones imported here right now ive seen are garbage. ugly body kits, shitty condition, etc. best if you search for one yourself from japan. i'd say if you want a supra, wait a year or so.
good maintenance mods to have would be upgraded turbos to non-ceramic ones and a v161. a novelty option i would get for sure if i was looking for one would be oem the electronic front lip spoiler.
2jz-gte are reliable engines. they are a lot easier and simplier to work on than the rb26s. ive had a 1jz supra and a 2jzge is300 before and daily drove both. no drama at all compared to the rb26 i have now. haha.
as for s2k. get a ap2 and a hard top. some clubs dont let you run convertibles on the track and a cage of any sort will most likely require you to remove the soft top from the car to make room. cage + hardtop so you can daily drive it and not worry about your stuff getting stolen if you park it.

It's the 1jz that has the ceramics

sweet more terrible advice.
you're telling him to replace the v160 for v161 because it's better for maintenance?
way to waste $4500 USD for a brand new tranny..
only difference from a v160 to v161 is the gearing ratios.
the only way i would upgrade to steel turbos is if the ceramic turbos are blown.
its not worth it to upgrade to USDM/CAD steel spec turbos if nothing is wrong with the ceramic turbos.

I would say, S2000. Supra is gonna drink gas like crazy.
Also should look at insurance for those 2 cars, i think supra might be higher tho.

Go with the Supra. For a daily it has 2 extra seats, and a shit load more trunk (hatch) space. The 2JZ is a very powerful and reliable motor. You can hit 400 crank horse with a very low budget, and run it hard all day long without a glitch. Just keep ontop of oil and plug changes. The Supra is not a difficult vehicle to work on, any mechanic should be fine - remember this car is atleast 15 years old now.

True power is usually estimated. For all that we know, a perfect stock MkIV might have had 300-310PS.
As for the topic at hand, I'm undecided, both are solid cars, but the S2K is hot, and the Supra is a brute.

tough choice........
but as a daily driver, a near stock supra... would be nice. more liveable too! just some wear and tear items would be costly... 2jz is known to be quite robust luckily.

If you think its overprice then i'd rethink your decision looks like your on a budget supras are reliable but if something breaks its expensive to fix. Its also a gas guzzler. Also because your considering rhd you might want to consider the resale as most rhd just sit there. I sold my LHD supra tt fairly quick as demand for those were high even being auto...just something to think about down the road if you were forced to sell it.
BTW If i had to choose id choose a supra all over again. It was a blast to drive and the looks you get in it... undeniably one of the most sought out car and the attention is well deserved.

Supra.
Faster
One of the best engines Toyota has ever made (Next to the 4AGZE, 3SGTE, 1UZ)
Sounds better
Looks better
Actually has a trunk.

Supra definately. Assuming you're going to mod it, you might look at some of the many differences between USDM and JDM MKIVs though.
While everyone knows its easy to extract power out of the 2JZs, The JDM MKIVs will take more effort (money) than the USDM ones.
