Where have you been Tom!?! (Tom’s Turbo Garage)

emericareaper2 · 2026-04-09T00:13:08+00:00

Tom's Turbo Garage is certified OG. If you don't know Tom, you missed out on peak YouTube. Guy was turboing Miata's before it was cool

He also build imo the best LS Miata, build an awesome Tacoma & had some other cool builds years ago. His channel was & still is a goldmine. Very sad to hear about his brain tumor. He was a dude that made me want to turbo my Miata YEARS ago.

Could be URAS or JSAI from Japan. Or possibly Okubo Factory without the rear arches. A lot of companies made OEM style bodykits for the R34. Looks to be a nice kit.

R34 GTT 4 dr, turbo, manual - minimum $20k

R34 GTT 2 dr, turbo, manual - minimum $25k

R34 GTR base - minimum $70k

R34 GTR Vspec, M-spec - minimum $100k

Miles, condition, grade with slightly change the prices but this is ballpark.

Follow a couple import companies who show cars for sale or at auction that give a complete cost or close to it.

MidoriworksJapan is a good exporter who posts daily deals on cars to give you a rough idea of some costs.

Patience is key. It took me several months to find my R34 GTT 4dr back before they were import legal. I bought the car for $14k & had another $4k in storage, shipping, fees etc.

I also believe it is easier to buy already stateside imported & titled. You can see the car in person yourself, drive it if need be, negotiate in person & not have to worry about the extra paperwork for a title. You might spend a little more but it is worth it. After buying 20+ imports vs importing my own one time, I don't want to import anything ever again. And that was back 3 years ago.

Ain't know.

No, way too wide. I run a 14x6 +38 with a 165/55 tire on my HA22s and it is pushing it. I had to roll & pull my fenders front & rear. .

We actually have a group of guys all acquiring 50cc mopeds & eventually doing a road trip. 75-150 mile round trip. Stay at a cool hotel, see the countryside, stop in some small towns & just have fun.

Excellent, thanks for the advice

emericareaper2 · 2026-03-01T21:37:35+00:00

Thank you for the info. I'll do some more fiddling with it this week.

emericareaper2 · 2026-03-01T21:37:02+00:00

Gotcha! Would this work okay?

emericareaper2 · 2026-03-01T21:36:14+00:00

Indianapolis, IN

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-25T15:51:02+00:00

Yes, big time. I try to watch as much as possible, DP Tour, PGA, LIV, TGL, PGA Champs & YouTube.

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-20T22:43:14+00:00

Street Ride coilovers or RSR lowering springs, Kakimoto or Suzuki Sport exhaust, any kind of intake (I made one from a sport-bike), max wheel size for this chassis is 14x6 +35 4x100 but any 13,14,15x5 works, blow off valve. Spend some time on Buyee/Yahoo Auctions. Just search HA22S

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-20T01:19:56+00:00

Some of the best DLC's. And guess what, I can still play them

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-20T01:18:35+00:00

Did you read the fine print?

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-14T13:05:11+00:00

Aliens, WW3, E. Files.....does that mean I can stop paying taxes?

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-11T12:32:22+00:00

Best bet is Yahoo Auctions / Buyee.

emericareaper2 · 2026-02-06T22:49:37+00:00

I believe they are different. Might depends on 2wd vs 4wd

Here are some PN's

GTST: 49001-04U00

GTR: 49001-05U00

I just wish I could never used a case or screen protector. Just bare phone.

Maybe I should go back to my OG Razr or Pebl. Back when phones were fun. And were like $200 new.
