Ok, first off i am not new to cars (so not a retard technician for a living, mechanic for a hobby) Second, I am a long time Euro car nut. All cars till now were VW's all old school 85-92 I have had about 12 of them most parts cars. I was in process of a 2.0t swap into my 91 jetta, and it got hit while pulling it out of the shop, so it's shot. Anyways point is instead of wasting more of my time to find another shell, I found a supra for sale.
These are all my findings from the go over i had with it sunday
Specs:
87 Turbo Hard top
5sp 7M-GTE
Black paint( Very faded) Primer Hood and red front valance (were the emblem is)
Blue cloth interior (very faded as well) center armrest is chunked out at the front of it.
After market HU is just laying in the gaping hole in the dash. 6X9 boxes in hatch.
tires have about 1/4tread all the way around.
To the motor specs
For an 87 it is clean (not steamed and detailed clean, just normally clean) turbo is clean to. pulled oil cap, no milk no smells
pulled Dipstick, little blacker than i like but hey easy fix, no Anti Freeze or smells here either.
P/S fluid a little low, no visible leakes though
brake fluid decent, should be changed
Valve cover gasket leaks at the back of motor
Upon start up car idles perfectley. Takes about 2-3 seconds to start (it was very very cold though so that prolly had something to do with it)
Exhaust smells like exhaust not rich, not lean, not sweet or gassy, just normal. only smoke was due to very cold weather.
During engine running check over:
checked throttle response at TB.... red flag! cracked the trottle open real quick and she stumbled ( now keep in mind I did not let it warm up at all, it was almost out of gas)
Did it agian with the gas pedal same thing I have seen a TSB on a CTS sensor revision with computer change ?? any more info
didn;t hear any knocking from the motor couldn't test drive (out of inspection and bad plates) I forgot to bring my dealer tag, my bad.
Popped the hatch key was very very very hard to turn! All in good order, lower front air dam laying in there! all original tools there good spare never used not dry rotted. i pulled the spare out, and there was some rust stains in the well, and the rubber plugs were removed . hatch seal is in good shape
no rust on rear arches. just to good to be true type car what else should i be looking at?????? also what would be a good offer for this.
oh, last question..................what is BPU that i see around here???
