Hey I'm new to this forum. Just got an 88 N/A supra on Saturday. Need to get a fuel leak fixed and balljoint replaced but thats about it. 2 very small spots of rust. Tell me what you guys think. Here is a link to the pics.

[fandffan]

Yeah the color is awesome! And i my friends dad Owns a car shop and is giving me a free comprehensive inspection. Hopefully be done on tuesday or wednesday. Rust will be taken care of in the next few days also. I'll be getting the fuel pump fixed the day after inspection and then from there i'll have a list of what needs fixed and will be fixed in the next couple months here. Hopefully everything fixed by december.

looks nice other than the rust and dirty motor.

 

[fandffan]

Thanks for the comments! And I'm taking my car in tomorrow for the inspection and hopefully getting the fuel fixed by wednesday.

Ya I have one of the TRD knobs, got her off e-bay! (I also have a TRD horn button installed aswell instead of that grant one.. matches nicely).. But ya, I do like it, at first it felt massive compared to stock then after driving with it for a month or two I really got to like it, you feel like you can really throw it around. I drove another supra just recently that had the factory knob... I didnt like it at all, felt WAY to small!

welcome to the commutiy and way to represtent teh NAs

the leather on my stock shifter started getting sticky icky on my hand, It was worse than wrestling with jimmy and not washing afterward. I took it to have it looked at, my knob that is, ha. They wanted 45$ to redo the leather on just the knob. I pryed the plastic cap off, and painted the #'s silver with a paint pen and removed the sticky icky crapolla and ended up with a nice rubber stocker shift knob.

That sounds like it was an "icky" mess of a job :biglaugh:
