soontohave: I only have 2 sawblades if you're interested how does $50+Shipping sound
Sorry this got a bit long I was writing more or less random paragraphs as thoughts popped into my mind but it's pretty much all about the Supra so I figure it's all good.
Turns out I have no way to get pics off my phone and into this thread, so I have a bunch of them but will have to wait for a real camera to get postable pics.
The Supra runs better everyday though I have a coolant leak somewhere around the back of the engine and I lose about 1-liter of water for about 25 miles of driving, going to pressure test the system this weekend and hopefully get it taken care of. It's wierd though because the only water I have seen under the car seemed to be dripping from behind the firewall and it was cold.
Does anyone else have this experience, everyone I have given a ride in the Supra who had never been in one after a couple blocks they all seem to love it, even my Grandpa who is hardcore Chevy and who I generally don't let help work on my cars because I don't like hearing someone say so much bad shit and cursing at my cars being stupid pieces of shit because they are kind of a bitch to work on, but it was nice to have even him say he liked the way it sounded and drove.
Didn't wreck the '91 the back seat caught fire and melted through a bottle of coolant and stained almost the entire interior orange it was very well repaired but I could still notice a slight orange tint to the leather everywhere but the lower part of the back seat(which was replaced) and a little fogging of orange on the plastic piece in front of the guages. I regret getting rid of it now and would buy it back in an instant if I had money and found it for sale even if it wasn't for sale I would still try.
I almost tried to find a Supra with an auto again since my now previous car an 85 Celica is a 5-speed and I got to the point I was so paranoid and uncomfortable driving it due to massive problems with steering, suspension, and tires all being completely shot and needing replaced. Actually coolant is the only thing that the Celica doesn't leak and the only leak on the Supra isn't that great. I started to think I was becoming a horrible driver all of that is now gone after a couple days in the Supra I am VERY glad I got a 5-speed, never once heard the BOV in the auto the sound is just incredible. An auto would be incredibly disappointing after learning and driving a 5-speed I can never go back at least not on a sports car.
My friend who gave up on finishing the bhg repair is happy I got the Supra running and on the road again but he was probably only 5-6 hours away from having it finished only took me about 8-9 hours of work and thats only because I wasn't a part of the tear down. I'm hoping to give him a ride in it this weekend and really make him wish he hadn't sold it to me:biglaugh: I found the California plates that were on the car when he bought it and they expired in '02 he bought it in '04 with a bad knocking sound he drove it home pulled the spark plugs and if I remember right 2 of them were closed no gap at all and the others were overgapped he re-gapped the plugs and it ran great for a month or two until the bhg. I think this car has been off the road for almost all of the last 5 years, now it runs almost perfect.
Alright I have been writing this for like 1.5 hours now adding a little here a little more over there I really should just stop if you read all of it cool if not thats cool too.
