SatSport Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hello all, Have been browsing this board for over a year now and at the same time trying to track down a TT Supra. As i live over in N.I. TTs are extremely rare and of the 2 i`ve seen the high miles (100k) have put me off. However my patience just wouldn`t hold out and i`ve bought a nice low mileage unmodified N/A. now the questions..... ! 1. Starting up, is it normal for the engine to idle @ 1800 for approx 2 minutes then back to 800? 2. Mileage still reads kms, if i do the conversion does it reset all to zeros or convert the existing kms to miles? 3. Also got that rattle and knock over bumpy roads, checking subframe bolts tomorrow, anything else i should look for?? thanks for replies ...... these forums have been a mine of info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Is the rattle and knock coming from the rear? It may be the boot rubbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got that rattle and knock over bumpy roads, checking subframe bolts tomorrow, anything else i should look for?? Firstly, 100,000 miles is nothing for a Supra. 1. Unless N/As are very different to TTs, 1800rpm is much too high. My (TT) doesn't idle above 1000rpm 2. As Lewis said, the odometer conversion won't change the existing reading. Dude can put you in contact with somebody to get your KMs reading converted to miles though. 3. Hard to say without hearing it. Could be front subframe or exhaust or (most likely) boot rubbers. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
