I just purchased a 91 Turbo Supra for $4100. It only got 89k miles on it and its completely stock. The guy didn't even have tags or insurance on it. It was just sitting.
This is the first time I've ever owned a car with a Turbo so I just had a couple questions. I noticed after driving the car normally without pushing it hard, when I open the hood, the engine bay is really hot. The temprature gauge stays in the middle it just seems alot hotter to me than my other cars. I wonder if this heat is why all the clear coating on the hood has worn off.
I don't plan on modding it anytime soon. First thing I wanna do is change the spark plugs, oil, transmission and brake fluid. I've heard these cars have a head gasket problem so I think I wanna change it out to a metal head gasket as some people in the forum have suggested. Also maybe change out all the vaccum lines to silicone, but all the stock lines seem to be in good condition. Another thing I noticed is the transmission is notchy when shifting into second, especially if I'm reved high. I was wondering if this is normal because I've owned a 91 celica and the transmission in that car seemed alot smoother. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
