PT, I paid $22K for mine. The previous owner expressed concern to me about a couple of minor issues, which is why he asked low on it. During our phone conversation I was pretty confident I would buy it and once I saw it, I was set on it. So I sacrificed on the trans, but it's a very clean car.

SP619, I was trying to join Socal Supras the other day (was a member a while ago, but wanted a new SN), but I couldn't find a VIP code. I even searched Google and came up with nothing. Can you give me some help to solve that problem, please? Thanks! I'll meet up with you guys.

lol Ive seen a few salvaged ones on craigslist for like 12 to 14,000


BTW, its pretty rare to get a good san diego meet going. Once I get my tranny swapped and rewire my knock sensor I wanna try to get one going. You down?? Are you signed up with socalsupras.com? There is a complete san diego section to keep you posted on any SD activity.

I am on the socalsupras but it seems pretty dead there :: tumbleweed ::

I'm actually out in the Temecula area but i wouldn't mind the drive for a good meet though so im def. down....

i hate knock sensors now.. let me gues code 52?

" To register, make sure you enter the VIP code as "scs". "

Auto trans shift faster so they go fast lol......:biglaugh:

Beautiful car though....

I wouldn't mind paying a payment for that... but all in due time..

lol ya it took me a day to do that stupid registration code shit, its for a good cause though so you cant bag on it

lol yup 52 it is, I'm hoping I can just rewire it and itll go away, it worked on my other supra.

true about the auto transmission, but not true when your shit is only help down by like 4 bellhousing bolts and is leaking all over the place, AND it wont catch any gears so Ill be on the freeway going like 70 with my rpms at like 5000-6000

wats up rsmisfit. Its a law around here to post pics of your supra or you will be banned from opening your refrigerator:icon_bigg

EDIT: btw platinum tracks, it isnt as big of a community as supramania but its gets helpful when you wanna talk to only socal people and not have to try and start a meet with people in maine and new hampshire and shit you know

Thanks for the code and compliments!

About the auto, I was pleasantly surprised at how quick it was when I first drove it. I figured that it'd feel a little sluggish compared to my MKIII, but it wasn't the case. I'm not so terribly turned off by not shifting, but I do miss the control and excitement of a manual.
