I think I'm coming to the end of my Supra ownership

Well, having had my N/A as a daily driver for the last 8 years (doing at least 300 miles a week), it's finally geting to the point where it is developing more niggles than I can be bothered to fix.

 

After having some welding done on the boot pan, it's got a ticket for the next 12 months, which I will be using to find something to use as a motorway barge for the next 10 years or so.

 

I have to say I've been spoiled by the Supra, it has been a fantastic car and I'm having a hard time finding something that I would be as happy to live with that isn't stupid money (read: over 15k).

 

So, if anyone is looking for something to thrash about in, offers are welcome.

 

Issues:

Dead wiring to oil pressure sensor

Sticky oil level sensor

Dead air con

Dented o/s rear wing

spot of rust on roof by o/s B-pillar

Electrics not working on drivers seat recline.

Severely corroded spring adjusters on all shocks (Tein S/S)

 

Good things:

Brand new calipers all round (been on 12 months)

Brand new rear wishbones (12 months old)

glass headlights

Full stainless exhaust & manifold (Whifbitz)

Engine still runs sweet, no oil loss & good power (for an n/a)

Good luck with your sale, I have the full decat manifold combo like you and was unsure as to what exhaust to get so cheers for posting your whifbitzs twin box sound as that is what I now have and it has got rid of the rasp which was a result..... I never knew a fully decatted NA could be so quiet at high speeds :D

Best of luck with the sale mate, I've seen this out and about a few times and it certainly stands out! :D
