I've still got mine. It's parked by the garage waiting to get gutted and turned into a track slut. I got lucky enough to find one with a 5 speed and LSD. I swapped out a good chunk of the suspension, so it handles wonderfully. It's low on power, but it'll be a great track toy once it's gutted and caged. It's also depreciated enough to not hurt my wallet too bad if I wad it up at the track. Once the engine blows, it'll get some flavor of LSx and a T56.

OEM transmissions, or did you swap in the Mk3 NA supra trans? (W158, maybe?) Supposed to be cheap and a little stronger.
