Wow... Who really cares how much is in the car??? Is it that important to everyone? The only reason I even posted anything about how much is in the car was to help with insurance ideas. The entire driveline including trans. Were purchased new from the Toyota dealer. That was a lot of money! The wheels and turbo kit were another huge cost! Etc.. Let's stop talking about money and start talking about CARS! I love this Lexus! So smooth!! Happy Fathers Day!

You used Wusupra's thread from Supraforums, yet you removed the prices he had next to them. Which incidentally added up to "ttl $23,051.19 ". Where did your other $7000 go in the past week you owned the car?

Wusupra quoted $2,800 for the 6-spd tranny - that's a hell of a deal new from Toyota. List price is over $7000
It looks like he bought it used from Supraforums...A little hint. If you want to be taken seriously on the forums, don't act like a typical ricer and lie about your mods or their cost.
You have a nice car, and I wish you the best with it...

There is a pile of paperwork from Boostlogic and more from Toyota. Etc... After looking over the one list that was made and tuning, new tires, stereo, and a few other recent spending we came up with a total around $30k. If you are looking at that list with the ttl total at $23k keep in mind the wheels were not included or the stereo. Why would I "lie" about the cost of the mods? I did not spend the money on the car! I was just looking for insurance for it!
Wait...you have a Boostlogic head gasket installed, right? The 2.5mm one, lowers compression to about 8.5:1......and then you have a Supra TT block installed as well??? Something doesnt make sense here.

This is the BEST option for you, if you want to get your mods insured. You may want to try someone who is familliar with Supra's and SC's. Most reputable insurance companies will tell you the same.

I agree. Get it looked at by an appraiser that deals with custom or modified cars all the time.
Insurance is a racket. They make you pay for it, then if some how you get in an accident they do every trick possible to screw you out of money your owed. There in business to make money, and it seems like they're very good at screwing the consumer no mater what (which is what happens when insurance is required by law and they no longer have to offer good customer service to entice customers to purchase their product).
Keeping good records is key. Photos, appraisal, copy's of all work done ect. I got hit by a dump truck in my SC with 5k worth of extras in it (full interior out sprayed in sound deading, HID's, system, modds, wheels, ect) and had the pile of **** that was working with me from the city (I was hit by dump truck owned by the city) try to tell me my car was only worth $3,000 all together. Needless to say I'm sure he **** when he opened up my manila envelope with a good 1/2 thick stack of receipts, ect. I can still remember him telling me he had never had any one in the past tell them they wanted there car repaired with OEM parts as opposed to junkyard or god knows where after market. I had to inform him that he should probably advise his truck drivers to not run into people in Lexus cars in the future then.

For the record, I have no tickets or accidents. So, with that out of the way, I had insured my car with Geico (MKIII Supra at the time with about 500 or so at the wheels). When I did all the work, I called them up and told them everything I had done with reciepts and stuff. They said SURE! 6 months later, I get a letter in the mail saying they would not cover my car anymore because it can be used for street racing...
I have a perfect driving record, a nuclear operator in the military and good credit. I told them all this, and they acted like the car would race itself lol. Never talking to Geico again.
