I'm going to have a look at a car powered by the big 1J tomorrow and just wanted to get a bit of advice as to what exactly I should be looking out for. I understand that the turbos are a weak point, are there any particular warning signs to look out for? What tends to go at Circa 85,000...

I'll go down the same route.... if you give me one of your cars :D. Seriously though, you do have a fantastic collection. Is the colour on the 3.0 limited standard? I don't think I've ever seen it before.

You would have still been miles better off getting a cheap economical daily and building the one you had on the side in your own time. Thought break on the one you went to see, but then again that's the used car market for you.

Maybe he's attacking you because he's photogenic and wants you to take his picture ;) :ttiwwp:

Oh, I know Europe (more specifically the UK) sucks. It’s my sole dream to GFTO this shite hole and I certainly am not under the illusion (more like delusion) that we’re somehow superior to you guys. What I do have a probably with however is the whining and BSing how gas going to...

What he said. I was suggesting some cars to an american bloke and he said he wanted something economical. I asked him what is considered economical over there to which he replied something that got 20MPG would be great :squint:. Get over yourselves people. $7 a gallon ain't shit.

Here's a thought to those who dismiss the thought of owning a MKIV. Imagine if the bottom completely out of the MKIV market and MKIIIs and MKIVs started to over lap in price - Assuming they were the same price would you rather have – A low miles (<50000) Turbo in excellent condition...

People here seem to like to go for horsepower numbers above anything else. You're asking someone to take a fairly major power cut on a mildly fettled 7M to go down to a NA MKIV. Anyway, anyone who bought their MKIII as a stop-gap for a MKIV is a complete idiot in my humble opinion....

I'm sorry, but why do people seem to be (for the lack of a better word) "amazed" by the Prius' economy figures? They aren't special considering a 80s Peugeot diesels will do 60+MPG all day long...

Fixed.

An Aristo? :naughty: Here's a belated Congratulations . Must have been a bit of a shock Oh, and we still need pics :).

Miata if you're comfortable with your sexuality, E30 BMW if you're not.

You found a rust free UK car?! I didn't think such a thing existed any more :D Out of interest, where has the red one rotted? Oh, and good luck with the reshell.

Because you don't necessarily need a college education to succeed in life. If you're going to get a degree in something that is worth the paper it's printed on and will actually use it then more power to you, just don't go for the hell of it to get a degree in Media suites, art or something...

Unless he knows exactly what he wants to do with his life, that could be the worst advice he'll ever be given. I'd vote Exhaust if you don't already have a decent system

If you're not willing to put in a lot of work and/or more than 3 grand, you need to pretty much forget about supras right now. Anyway. I have a feeling that you're going to find it not being worth your time and energy parting it out, $800 - $1200 seems a bit too optimistic (From what I've...

New beater - 1992 BMW 316i Touring. I'd have preferred another supra, but this was ridiculously cheap The plans are to get the ground work sorted out (Shocks, springs, Z3 rack, etc), rag the pig slow 1.6L engine till it blows and then drop in a chipped M30 from a E34 535i. With circa 230...

This. Once you get over the "OMFG, I'm playing GTA, ONLINE!" tip, it becomes very boring, very fast.

Hommer I don't remember anyone saying anything about you directly, I haven't read anyone call bullshit on your experience or expertise, it's just that some of your ideas are a tad "out there". I believe the problem is 97% of members in a car community's that specializes in one make or model...

Why bother? Due to the US-Spec E36 M3s could with such diluted powerplant, I'd hesitate to even call it an M3... Unless you're seriously thinking about chasing big power goals (which is probably what the supra is for), I'd go for the BMW. I can only speak from experience as a passenger, but...
