What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra?

[Saavedro88]

Paid the mofo $1000 for it... :nono:



Datsrboi, what wheels do you have? They look a bit like mine...

 

[aye mate]

In my cousins driveway I didn't set the parking brake and left it out of gear, rolled into a pine tree, broke the tail light and dented the rear quarter panel. Before that, the body on my car was perfect except for some faded paint.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

I sold my first supra. Worst mistake evar!!!!11

That was a bad move, i loved your car.
My mistake was the 1st move when i had the car. Car needed new brake lines, rotors, pads, tires and an alignment. Man, if i only decided to do it myself because at the time i was busy, and could have waited 2 weeks for the car, but no, i got shafted on parts and the repair bill....
MAAAAN.

bought it!

on my blue car.. the ic pipe routing.. its horrible :/ but i cut holes all ready so thats how it is

 

[supraguru05]

Honestly there was not much effort at all.......... That is what bothered me. Its like as if the block was more aluminum the iron. Some SMALL resistance but not like what I am use to feeling at work. Plus I was not thinking about it too much since it did go in quite a bit before that resistance hit in.

huh see learn somthing everyday form now on ill quadruple check my taps before i clean threads because i thought it would be noticable but now i know i need to be really sure

I went to the track with mainseal stopleak in the oil and guess what i got a rod knock BUT after it cooled down and i drove it it was gone so no harm no foul and after 15K it still hasn't come back. no metal in oil or any other bad signs so i guess was just lucky

 

[BlackMKIII]

Biggest mistake? Installing 2 used 7M-GEs instead of going 1J in the first place.

 

[starscream5000]

Bought it, not a joke here.

Should have waited for a better one with a straight body. :nono:

 

[The Reaper]

bought a targa shell POOOOOOOP

other than that i think everything else has been fine.

oh and used 1300$ insurance claim to buy a single turbo kit instead of a HT sunroof shell

 

[BlindRonin]

I busted off my heater union banjobolt in the head, still trying to figure out how to remove it. Other than that i paid WAY to much for the car.

 

[Facime]

Decided I could do a HG replacement 3 weeks before moving to TX in time to make TX2k7. Ended up trailering the car there, drove 2800miles in 4 days, made it in time for the show, but had to transportation and missed thw whole event.

 

[thebuddrik]

sold my first car to noah, after i was rearended, with a full 3" exhaust, boost controller, brakes, stage 2 clutch, and oem parts i could dream of....

now 1 1/2 later , i own a BONE STOCK SUPRA AND AM SHOPPING FOR ALL OF THAT SAME CRAP AGAIN!!!

Rod knock doesn't go away, either you didn't have it, or you still do.

 

[Doward]

Worst thing?

Dunno. Haven't classified anything as 'bad' I've done with it

 

[Wiisass]

Nothing that I've done to the car. But I did throw out a decent condition targa shell because I didn't have anywhere to keep it and couldn't give it away to anyone local.

 

[Jeff Lange]

What about the time you crashed it? or when you smashed up John's car? Jeff = fail at Supra's.

Yeah, but those aren't part of the "build". I didn't include them.

i still have that car sitting in my garage buddy, but there is no more motor, tranny, ecu, interior, rear end. and i will be removing the subframes, and rack and pinion very soon. but if you still want it, i have it.
i tried to add you on myspace but since i don't know your last name or email, i couldn't

 

[swaq]

I topped off the power steering reservoir with windshield washer fluid on my last Supra...

 

[dugums]

Paid too much...

But if we are talking about mistakes made while working on it -

My biggest one was disassembling the top end while it was in the car. I would have saved Sooooooooooo much time if I had just yanked the whole engine to begin with.

 

[Solle]

sell it then buy it back.....
