Okay so today i sold my 87 turbo hardtop for $700. My plan was to sell that and take a trip down to Clifton, New Jersey to look at another 87 supra. It was somewhat modded. Anyay The guy couldnt come til like 6pm. So he showed up and we talked about the car and my other one. Turns out he was interested in my other 87 parts car. But he left and i wanted to still go to NJ after this. So my friend picked me up and we headed out. We went to get some food first. So we didnt end up gettin on the highway till like 7 - 7:30ish. Instead of just going straight there my friend wanted to take a bunch of pit stops. So we ended up gettin there around 12:30 - 12:45am. Lovely huh? Well i look at the car. I start it up. It sounded smooth at first, for the first like 10seconds. Then all of a sudden it started running realllly rough. Bogging out n shit. It was idling at like 350-500rpms up and down. Then it would just die. So i took it out for a little ride. As im driving it all of a sudden a shit load of smoke started comin out the exhaust. Like im talkin SHIT LOADS!! Like it was filling the street. I could barely see the cars behind me. Also the headlights wouldnt work. I dont know why. Oh and the battery was shit. Well anyway at this point im quite dissapointed to the performance of the car. It seemed like a deal from the craigslist ad. So if i was gunna buy it, he was gunna take $3200. I talked him down from $4000. So yea i was doing that and so i went back to his house and we pop the hood and i get a flashlight and there's oil comin from the gasket of the hotside of the turbo and the DP. I was thinking oil seal? Also there was a bolt missing. But there wasnt oil coming from that. Just from the other ones. And i couldnt figure out the problem with the idling. Im askin the guy how long it was doing that for. And he's like oh it's never done this before. I ask, how long has it sat for? He tells me 4months. I ask why he stopped driving it. He tells me gas prices and something else. I dont believe him at this point. And the car's running like shit. I was planning on driving the car back to mass. But how the hell am i suppose to drive it like that? lol I'd be pulled over in a second. Not to mention the idling problem. Well after all that. We leave, by this time its like 1 - 1:30am. Well we end up getting lost. Even with the GPS i had. i dont know how but the gps got retarded and would give us weird directions. We were on this freaky highway kinda road in New York. I think it was called Palisades Interstate Pkwy. Anway we're like wtf is this? And we look at the gps and the route home. And its telling us to drive allll the way around the great lakes and back to mass. To get home. We're like wtf?! haha So we change it but still had trouble. Anyway longer story long we ended gettin home around 6am. And now here i am still awake. Well if anyone actually read this whole novel, if you have any ideas of the major smoking problem with the car and hte idling issue. Let me know what you think. Well i just thought it was an interesting night. Thought i would share it with everyone on here. :biglaugh:
