life advice. (slightly supra-related)
- Thread starter thechori
- Start date
I think you should first figure out whats wrong with the supra, im sure the TSRM will guide you to trouble shoot the car, do you have pics of the damage?
I have a TONNNN of supra stuff laying around, pay for postage, and its yours.
Shipping should be cheap with those 6.95 flat rate boxes from USPS.

yeah i never really got a chance to run a diagnostic after i got the car together, immediately after everything was finally together the damn thing went up in flames; the damage wasn't too bad, i actually had a thread in the 7M-GE section about it with some picturesRennat;918979 said:

haha OH, well i've tried that and apparently i'm not good enough looking :naughty:
You need to get a diesel mercedes... they are ridiculously reliable, and get close to 40MPG on the freeway! They just aren't very good looking LOL. My friend bought one on craigslist for $300, and has been DDing it. O_O I also had one a while back, and it would take a nuclear explosion to stop one of those things. Look up 240D, 300D, 300SD on craigslist to see what im talking about.
Getting Supra running should not come before acting your age and getting a job.
You have posted saying you have an issue... The issue is yourself. Your priorities are fked up.
You said you have school 2 days... If you set yourself a schedule, you could easily work 5 days and still have time to get your work done, tinker with the car, and have a social life...

Get a bicycle and a job and manage your time well.
All problems solved.
I work 25 hours a week, full time engineering student in my junior year and get good grades. I'm not exceptionally smart or anything, I know you could handle 2 days of school and a job.

She speaks the troof, you need to get your priorities in order.
I work 70 hours a week, go to school full-time, and tinker with my car on sundays(my only day off).

You seriously work 70 hours and go to school full time? If you have Sunday off that means you are at work or at school/doing hw 15 hours a day Mon.-Sat.
If you aren't exaggerating you are one hard working mofo. 25 hours work + full time school keeps me busier than I'd like to be. Another 35 hours of work and I'd probably lose my mind.
Ayup. I'm forced to agree with LilMissMkIII, I'd say your priorities are fucked up.
I've owned nothing but Supra's for the last 18 years. At one point I had 5 in the driveway at one time. Except for one 6 month period where I didn't have one, I've never suffered without one. (Had a garage full of new cars at the time though...)
I've worked at times upwards of 80 hours a week to get what I want.
I'm currently going to college (nights and weekends, yes at 40 years old, to get my MBA) and I'm working full time, plus I have several irons in the fire with several side businesses, plus I somehow find the time to have fun with Theresa, still have time to fool with my cars a bit and not to mention support this site.
Simply put, get off your lazy ass and do something about it, if I can do it, you can do it. Hell you are younger, you should have more energy than me...

Gotta agree. I put in 40-50 hours a week, working 3 jobs + full time school.
I have my weekends usually free.

dude, i have a shit load of n/a parts for pre-89 , if you need any parts let me know you can have them for free. If you need any japanese motorcycle parts let me know. i can get stuff cheap. i work on bikes every day exp for tues and thurs. I have school from 9am to 10 pm. I know it sucks, just try to get a job. Try like wal-mart or target. try working at night.
haha yes i admit i'm a lazy ass person, it's my nature :[
i've tried to get a few jobs but they wanted me for full-time and i couldn't work on tues/thurs so i was out of luck :\
the idea of getting a night job never really came to mind, i might look into that
but yeah, my goal is to get the car running so i can DD it, bring in some cash, get a car loan, then let the supra rest and finally turbo it (in time)
