I spoke to his mechanic friend today and they both listened to reason and the owner came back down on the price. Now the problem is my bud thought he had the money together. Wrong. We're done here. :)

We might go look at this car tomorrow. If we do I'm going to bypass the heater core and do a leakdown test to prove its not what he was told by his mechanic friend. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?swmjnq

Appreciate the comments but I'm not asking if I should buy it. :) Before I talk to this guys mechanic I want cold hard facts to prove he don't know what he's talking about. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?pkobmf

The intention was to buy it and do a stock rebuild on the engine. My bud doesn't want crazy power and a GE will suit him just fine. I know the amount of work that's going to be involved and it will be extensive. I've pulled a few engines in my time. I just want someone to explain to me how a...

My buddy is looking for a supra. We found a nice 90 N/A that's real clean. Guy says he just spent $2600 to have HG replaced and a few other things. Admits he thinks the shop may have screwed him over. Tells me the car has started to overheat and boil over. Also said one of the coolant hoses was...

The hatch rattle is an easy fix. Go to Driftmotion and they sell they cushions and bump stops to fix the problem. I don't know what the problem would be with the windows but I'm sure there is a fix. You've replaced a lot of stuff. Just go ahead and keep it. Edit: Here ya go...

JDM engine? Ever check you ISCV?

Tell us more about that bitchin Torino in the garage :biglaugh: I don't daily drive my 89 turbo but I could. I'm pretty confident in it to make it anywhere I want to go. I DD my SC400.

This. Although it took me hours. I tackled it a couple weeks after my neck surgery, haha. Also I had so much trouble getting the old hose off the nipple on head. I had to cut it off blindly since you can only feel it and not see it. I used regular hose. Toyota wanted $25 bucks or something like...

Ah yes I remember now.:bigthumb:

How many of the MKIII haters ever drove one of these when they were brand new? None probably since they were all still just a floating sperm. I had the pleasure of taking a long cruise in a brand new 92. I liked it way better over the LS400 I drove that day as well. It's a luxury car never...

Part # 22210C You'll want to replace that too. Not going to lie, it's a bitch. It runs off the bottom of the ISCV to a nipple on the head.

My old 91 GTE was doing the exact same thing. The way I confirmed a blown HG was by doing a leak down test. I pressured up the coolant system and watched the needle very slowly go down. I then went to crank it up and low and behold if it didn't spit/sputter and white smoke bellowed out, which...

Your engine bay looks nice and clean. Can we see the rest of the car? When the gasket blew, did the oil and coolant mix?

This should apply to the entire car.

They are awesome! The only draw back is real hard shifting all the time. I miss a smooth transmission when driving around the city.

I'm sorry I don't have pics to illustrate at the moment, but I have an N/A reservoir and lines, with a big GT35r turbo and hard pipes. Nothing is in the way of each other either. I'll try to get a pic posted tomorrow when I get home. Car is in the garage.

What problems are you having?

What does the oil look like? If you have any suspicion that it was contaminated with coolant, just pull the engine and rebuild. And for Pete's sake, don't go get a JDM engine. Rebuild what you got, and use Toyota gaskets. <--That's my opinion. The car in my sig...OEM HG with ARP bolts. I...

Pull the engine yourself and take it to a reputable machine shop and have the short block rebuilt and the surfaces machined. Either have the head rebuilt (best choice) or have it pressure tested and resurfaced. I would never trust buying a supposedly built or rebuilt engine from anyone unless I...
