Supra Opinions Wanted

Is your A/C condensor there? If not they may be the lines for the condensor. Don't have access to my Sup right this moment, so I can't tell you for certain right now. I'll take a look first chance and get back with you on it.

Yep That's what they are! I traced them back to the condenser when I looked at them today.

It turns out the hose where the blow off valve connects to the Accordion hose is torn off the accordion hose. Does anyone think that's a sign of things that happened or will happen?

The missing hose/fitting is probably nothing more than a sign of shoddy or careless maintenance at some point in the car's past. Trust me, more than a few Supra's out there are the victims of all sorts of poor decisions and crappy maintenance by their owners. That's everything from hacked harnesses to somewhat vital parts completely missing.

Glad it was something as simple as the condenser lines. Start looking around for a replacement accordion hose, or shell out the bucks for a good aftermarket pipe to replace it with.

anyone else have anything to say? I'll be getting cash soon and I'm ready to call up this guy.
