Well... my dream white supra na... is slowly turning into a nightmare:cry:

She has the symptoms of a BHG ready to happen.::bhg::

And the transmission is bad...:3d_frown:

I dont have the $$ to get her fixed.... I may just give her up to have my Blk supra finished.:cry: I really dont want to do that!

My Blk 87 supra has a good motor and tranny.... but bad body.:nono:

My White 86.5 has a good body... but bad motor and tranny.....:3d_frown:

Decisions decisions:runaway:

Sell both, get a car that gets better gas mileage and requires less maintenance, work on the "not enough money" thing, then buy a better Supra when you can really afford it. Keep the economy car to drive while you mod the Supra. :biggrinki

Shouldnt be very expensive to swap motors, get a hoist and as long as you dont take the engine apart you shouldnt have to spend anything (other than some fresh fluids).

No money, no place to work on it, and no other car to drive.

That should be the three prerequisites of owning a mk3! :biglaugh:
We will prey it will fix itself.

It has a 1jz-ge?!? That would be a first. Post some pics of the engine bay so I can see what you are looking at. The cost of the engine itself will be the less then all the other items and labor needed though. :cry:

I will post them up by the weekend. Both cars.

They guy that gave me the Supra w/engine + other parts said it cost about $1300 total w/labor. He is a dealer and used his connections to get it done. he said he would do it for the white one when i had the $$, use his connections to get it cheaper.:naughty:

That's exactly what I do. Working two jobs lets me spend around 400-500 a month on the supra (will be selling my 3G and buying a metro and I will be saving an additional 350-400 a month on top of that!).
