Guest beetledude1303 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 SO MUCH KA HATE. not gonna lie, the reason i wanna get rid is coz its starting to get too far. im a paint sprayer by trade and my pals a panel beater, so both our cars get treated like royalty. standard kas of its age are going for 1500-1700. it means nothing when trying to sell, but the spec/amount of money spent on my ka is unreal, i could have probably bought that supra twice...

Guest beetledude1303 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Damn you I was looking at that one well mate depending how much he likes my ka, ive still gotta fit a new steering rack and do the petrol cap rust before i could sell it. i wouldnt let someone have it how it stands atm. just bought a new bumper, new grilles (one of them being a one of 2 oem style debadged grilles made by a freind) new driveshaft, swr1 fast road cam ££££££ spent. he seems pretty keen, just need to get cracking!

safcdixon Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I would go for it it looks a clean example, the engine isnt a big problem if its goosed because they can be had for peanuts or nothing, concentrate on the overall condition of the body, interior and suspension listen for knocks etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Welcome. The NA doesn't have many faults, not fast enough some will say, and compared to the tt rightly so. It's just the usual second hand car buying stuff, fluid levels, rust around the rear widescreen is becoming a problem. I'm struggling to think of anything! Go buy it. Drive it. Enjoy it!

stevie_b Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It's probably all covered in the buyers' guide, but I can't think of any mkIV supra-specific faults to watch out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 get the NA, put a tt lump in it, get a 6spd box, go single turbo, hit 700hp, by the time ur 23/24 you will be broke but have a car that will destroy everything over £90k. the supra way! - - - Updated - - - Apart from turbo related problems they have all the same faults a tt has ahahah cheeky! lol i like!
