Yes, thanks!
Like you said the hard thing is to know how hard the engine have been pushed, put that's the think with every car. I want to have a good base to start with like a LHD Targa 6 speed TT 1998 which I belive is the best base, of course less miles would be better but that also cost and I will upgrade parts after they break. If the motor is bad I saw Suprastore selling OEM motors with auto trans for 3k shipped. So the motor is cheper than the 6 speed trans, and to convert a auto to manual is going to cost more. I heard that Canadian cars have KM/h like we have here in sweden, how can I se on a Supra if it is from Canada or US? Best Regards Fredrik |

Thanks again! Still waiting for the VIN from him. If a stock supra got 160 000 Miles on it, how bad is that? I dont know how good or bad the car have been serviced or driven...

:DOkey thanks, motor seems to be almost the cheapest part. Being a beginner when it comes to supras. What about the transmission (6 speed), rear end, suspension and stuff like that? How will they take 160 000 miles. I know it depends on maintence and how hard the car have been driven. I have nothing against to get my hands dirty and do job on the car that's no problem at all, just fun, it's the costs that scares me. Of course a more expensive car will have less miles but it dont say that the interior is in top shape so it's hard but I hope I find one very soon. Anxious to start the journey.
Best Regards Fredrik |

The Mkiv TT rear end is a rock too. No issues there. Please check/change the fluid - 160K is too long if it hasn't been changed yet. Suspension - also no problem, unless it was roadraced every weekend. Then the bushings might be showing some wear. I regard the shocks as a consumeable - kind of like tires. They very well might need to be changed too *shrug*. Again, good luck. Please keep us informed. |
Thanks!
Not sure if you can se this: http://www.carfax.se/show-report/f06...#DetailSection Well so I got the VIN number from the guy and it have 25 carfax reports. Brought in Louisiana, Tennesee at the end of 1998. Looks well serviced to 25k miles then I cant se any more, Hit a guardrail in 1999, minor damage. 2009 hit a tree, airbag deployed very servere damage reported to front. Maybe that's why the car have a FMIC Later in 2009 the car was exported from New York to United Kingdom and it have been in sweden in a little bit more then one year acording to the seller. If the car have been repaired good I see no problem, I dont know how crash freindly supras are, how hard it is to get everything to fit properly just beacuse it says very servere damage dosent mean it was that bad I think. And the airbag, how can I tell on a supra if they have fixed that? like replaced the center of the steering wheel and stuff like that and if they just removed them, early supras do not have airbag, am I right? /Fredrik |
