Guest supra virgin 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 hi guys have just picked up my 1st supra, I want to give her a real going over and check everything. Any advice or tips on what too look out for would be greatly recieved. They look like a real pig too work on, are they as bad as they seem ( not scared of the spanners but not an expert ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 What spec car are you looking at? They're not that difficult to work on if you can handle a spanner, but there are some things you really must check. The NA's are pretty bullet proof, the TT's need a much more in detailed check before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 hi guys have just picked up my 1st supra, I want to give her a real going over and check everything. Any advice or tips on what too look out for would be greatly recieved.
