1JZ E36 value?

[tui]

I'm probably going to get serious backfire for even considering buying this, but do you guys think this JZ M3 is worth 14 grand? I've been wanting a Mk3 Supra for awhile but I magically found this while on CG. Will do a PPI if you guys think this is a good idea.

a) it’s not an M3 (or it is butchered). Certainly not a 98 M3 as listed.
b) it’s a mess.

And not a 2JZ. And you can make 1000 rwhp with a fully built version of the BMW motor. Supra guys sometimes swap in BMW transmissions. I personally would not bother with Supra drivetrain parts in an E36 given what can be done with BMW parts.

I don't know how you'd get that registered for street use in CA. No way it passes smog inspection. Also:

b) it’s a mess.

Damn, oh well. At least I had these two turbo'd M3s on standby.

Those look ok. Both are low power but still about twice a stock M3. The first one looks a little more interesting. I assume you know how to get a turbo M3 through CA smog.

...without catalytic converters
