Might buy a MkIII

How do you have ten hours on the board and don't know? lol

Blown head gaskets and rod knock are common on 7M powered Supras. Rust in the spare tire well as well as the rear wheel wells are also extremely common. If it's a targa top, the targa probably leaks.

Turbojuiced has a huge list of stuff to check before buying a Supra. It was in an introduction thread just the other day, I suggest you find it and follow it.

Errr... THIS IS THAT THREAD. Scroll up and look.

Lots of little things tend to go wrong - split rubber hoses, old stiff broken seals, bits that leak, switches that stop working, etc. A slush fund is a damn fine idea.

Whoop, I got pwned. There you go, do that! ^

Hmm interesting, what exactly tends to go wrong with these cars?

The owner needing more of a good thing!

Hmm I knew about the head gasket, he has already replaced it (has been driven once since he did), rod knock didn't know about. He just did a MAJOR overhaul on it, all pulleys replaced, timing belt along with other belts done, coolant change, oil change. I want to pressurize the coolant system to make sure it holds, and go over vacuum lines to see what kind of condition they are in.

I am STILL waiting to get rid of the damn integra but hopefully soon cause I want this damn car so bad lol.

Oh also, what is it costing people to fill there Supra's right now? Gas is 1.31/Liter out here (5.24 or so a gallon). My Integra costs me 55 on average to fill, DAMN.

70L tank in the Supra so around $92

Hahahha. Well on the site I found the average MPG of a Supra is about 20. My Integra is 23. The integra has a 50L tank compared to the Supra's 70. So I spend more on gas and use it more, meh I think its worth it lol.

Yearly the Supra is supposed to cost about 1000 more on gas. I am screwed lol.

If you do a lot of highway cruising it'll be a good bit better than that. With a good tune, mixed driving and still boosting every day I was getting ~22

Well unfortunately I am straight city driving lol. If I was only going to school and work it would be fine I only have 2 or 3 stops on the way. I drive a ton around town lol.

ninja6o4 messaged me and has a 92 teal for sale that needs some body work and a head gasket, so now I got some competition lol.
