    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    I would like the 91 supra to live on, considering it's interior, sunroof, and milage, but it would cost a lot to fix the serious frame damage and to find the parts will be a pain in the ass. either way, one day I'd like to see it get fixed, too, even if not by me. I'm gonna work on my 90 supra...

    Electric vehicle conversion

    keep in mind that electric motors have all their torque above 0 rpm. I think that causes problems cause when tesla added another speed to their 1speed tranny, it started breaking on them

    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    I'm gonna build it then, since more people thought I should vs those who disagreed. but like I said I gotta wait til the end of the month. I'll keep looking for supras meanwhile, just incase. And if I do fix it, I'll make a build thread. Thanks everyone for the input

    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    I know I got screwed in the settlement but it's too late and I know what to do next time; don't take it to a towyard because some insurance co. don't pay for storage, don't bug the police for the report because they'll just "missplace it", and instead bug your insurance to look up the other...

    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    It does drive acually, the tow truck put it in the garage and later I drove it out and flipped it around to park it nose first on the drive way, but I bypassed the intercooler, had no radiator or coolant, and was running off the battery. yes, the doors do open fine

    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    what happened is that I would kinda go through phases of what I wanted, sometimes I would feel like I'd take anything 89+, sometimes I would skip all targas, or sometimes I would feel like I would only like a 91 or 92 sunroof. Whenever I went back to searching for 89+ cars, it seemed like they...

    My first and only car, a 91 supra auto, with a sunroof, a flawless interior, stock everthing, and 87k miles on original everything except the tranny, was totaled on december 12 08. The lady driving the other car thought that, since she couldn't see the oncoming lane, that must have meant that...
