Thumbs up Just bought 1987 supra auto 145k miles

Price was $1K - Good Body, no rust I can see, it's an upstate SC car so no salt air there - Original Burgundy paint is toast of course, good Gray Cloth Interior - I've had many cars & many Toyotas since the 70's but this is first Supra - I'm on a few other Boards w/my other cars, 91 AWD Turbo Eagle Talon & 96 MKVIII - Motor purrs & it rides smooth but Shifts at 3500 RPM or so at WOT in Normal - Going to Power on ECT changes it to 3800 at WOT as well as the other changes Power Mode makes, stays in 1st longer, OD point, etc - ONCE it readily went to 5K Rpm in 1st w/no probs - New Air Filter & brand new Battery but only 13 Volts on Voltmeter so that may be it - I'm hoping it's Alt or Fuel Filter or clogged Cat or TPS or something - Has Diag Code 51 but my AC is DOA too - Will do Searches - Car came w/Owners Manual & a Chiltons but man I hate a Manual that spans 15+ Model years... it's like reading the History of Supra~! - Rad holding Pressure but looks like zero Anti Freeze so I did a Flush & Green Anti Freeze - It's got a Mod at Engine Bay Fuse Box with a Relay in place wired fm under Dash to Battery & spliced into Harness Wire fm lEngine Bay Fuse Box... not figured out what that's all about yet - Replaced 3 Valve Cover Vent hoses, they were brittle as Glass~! - I thought the U Joints were toast but it turned out BOTH Front Wheels had Lug Nuts Finger tight... drove it about 100 miles like that back home before I figured it out ~!
