    Is Supra right for me?

    It's a great car all around. It drives well on twistys, and on the highway. As stated before it is a high maintenance car, so it can bite you for little things. It is highly recomended that you purchase one as a second car especially if you intend to do any modifications. You will note most...

    how hard is it to replace oil feed and return line to the turbo?

    how hard is it to replace oil feed and return line to the turbo?

    driftmotion sells a softline kit for the ct26. Its easier if you remove the turbo and attach the lines off the car, that way you can make sure it has a clean surface for the new gaskets.

    Depth behind trim panel(the one above glove box)?

    The vent side hooks in, and 2 clips, one on the left and one about center. Broke my first one prying on the vent side lol. Small flat head is all you need. If you fab up something you may get some people asking for one!

    Depth behind trim panel(the one above glove box)?

    Depends on the size of the units and if your any good with a cutoff wheel/dremel tool. I installed my HKS turbo timer and a few switches there at one time. Cutting the vent trim panel is not fun, measurements and angles make it tricky.

    Another New 240 Owner

    The beauty of a 1jz in a 240sx: for Left hand drive the exhaust is away from the steering shaft and Brake Master Cylinder so less clearance/heat issues. Good luck with the swap. I have done some research into this swap for my 240 as well. I know you have to reroute the fuel lines, and its...

    rear tire wear

    $120 is cheeper than a set of tires! I got over 30K on my 280 treadwear tires before they got below 50%. Another possibility is your car may have been hit in the past and is no longer true. A good Alignment shop can inform you of this as well.

    did i pay too much???

    Could be leaking into the combustion chamber, or it could be something else. Compression and leakdown test will help you confirm. Motor comes out and goes back in relativly easy. Me and a bud can pull a supra motor in a few hours, but we have done this a few times...

    I foresee you being a typical supra owner. You bought it. Too late to worry about insignificant minutiae like price.

    The Unoffical I Miss my Supra Thread

    I miss my first supra at times, but I don't want it back. Odd thing is, my current supra is cleaner, with all the factory options, and is well modded. Yet I don't have any feelings for it.

    Omg my engine...

    MLS head gasket and ARP studs are overkill for a GE. OEM head bolts are fine for reuse.

    Omg my engine...

    A new head gasket replacement is few hundred bucks, a motor is over a grand, your call. Can't say I would trust any "mechanic" who would say its fine to drive on a blown head gasket. That shows a either a lack of knowledge or hopes of getting payed for a motor swap. Both negate my use of...

    Omg my engine...

    If it dies due to lack of oil, you won't be opening it up and fixing it. It may be cheeper to fix it now than the future drop and swap. Could just be a gasket.
