I am also preparing a supra for ITS, I have an 85. It is definitely on the heavy side but I am trying to fill out a proper VTS sheet and have the weight looked at in light of current power to weight ratios in ITS. If you are going to rebuild the motor get pistons from an 84.5 to 86.5 the compression ratio went up from 8.8 to 9.2 and power went up to 161hp and 169ft-lb. I have heard stories of it being very competitive but I haven't seen any actual results.

I am glad to hear you are going to build the car. I don't know if it will ever win any ITS races, but I really enjoy the challenge of developing a car that is an oddball.

As for the 240sx, I drive a 95 240sx everyday and it is an awesome car, but the supra seems less prone to oversteer and feels very well balanced in stock form. Also, my 240 is way to reliable right now to sacrifice for racing. I have to make it to work if I want the money to keep building a racecar!

Good luck with the build an feel free to email me with any questions.
