I wonder how long that turbo would last before blowing up into a million pieces and ruin the engine? I wonder if its even been balanced? 100 miles? 200 miles?

I feel after a lot of debate in my head and some suggestions in that thread, im going to stick with Mkiii, however, i want one in good condition. Roller or not. Just something to be proud of again like my first one.

I am well aware of its functionality and importance. I had no idea i didn't have one for awhile. I just thought it was neat to know it cools so effectively

^^^good site, thanks Im just wondering how they all compare. The aftermarket aluminum ones anyway. There are very little details about them that i can find.

maybe, would have to mess around with one, but really don't want to spend $$ on one when i could just put that money towards a new, better aluminum one that cooled as well as the Fluidyne. When i had no T-stat and on the highway, my temps wouldnt even register above 120*F!

A fan shroud will not fit properly anymore. With the crossmember bent how it is, it will interfere with the clutch fan while it rotates

The last Deer crash pushed the crossmember into the radiator and caused the core to bust :nono:. When i checked it was a pinhole leak, but that was with barely any pressure/heat. It was already warped slightly from the fire, the twisting of the deer hit must have just put it past its limits...

+1 i was expecting a much higher price for that one TBO.

Rust is a virus. It will continue to grow and grow once it starts. You need to cut it off and seal what you have left. If the holes are that big you will need to do metal work to fix properly. Honestly if its that bad, i would consider finding a rust free body, depends on the shops quote.

just have it chemically flushed. As long as there are no leaks you're fine. If you DO replace it i would consider aftermarket.

^that would not cause idle issues

I wouldn't trust anything OBX.

True story, happened 10 min ago: My girlfriend just asked for a complete list of names with girls i've slept with. FML

Man, i wish the white MKIII's didn't have the crap Blue/Burgandy interiors....they seem to be for sale everywhere! /rant

Thanks for your input Keros. You make valid points. However, I will not just buy a beater. I'm tired of those. Its not the BEST choice to make, but one I have already made. I remember how much fun i had, and how proud I was of my first Supra; the first car i bought myself. Mint, new...

:love: That would be nice.

Yes, this choice needs input from many variable. I do take other options into consideration and i was hoping for some input i may not have thought about yet, which I am getting.

Understood and agreed. My own justification for this was I'd be doing it within the next 10 months or so anyway, at least I was planning on it. Since this oppurtunity has presented itself I thought I could at least debate the idea a bit.

this is a very good point, and ill def. take it into consideration. My financial decisions are far more realistic and thought through than 99% of people my age. If its one thing i've learned best out of everything else, it is budgeting. If i didn't KNOW i could do something like this, i...

overall, good info, never drove one so i don't know how they compare. however, keep in mind, curb weight of both vehicles are very close.
