Alot of us bought these cars thinking since it was toyota it would run or whatnot.

Then we learned that you can't just mod it. Then we learned about BHG.
Then we learned about the rest of the shite underneath the hood that makes your baby your master and you her slave.

The car will milk you for every penny it can grasp and when you give a buck it needs 5 and if it needs 5 it wants 20 then the next thing you know its like.

franklin, franklin, franklin. Fock it franklin franklin. So you go back to work and 20$ 20$ just to keep the wheels of the build moving easily.

These cars are not for the person with low funds. Unless you have say 3 years to spread your build out over. And the car isn't running all that while because the schmaz you're working on keeps it dismantled

.

I'm not like a high roller or anything like that. It's been tough to keep this build moving forward and that's with just operating during our summer months. It's really that simple.

I have a supra that I have 10k into and it's worth only 3 and I still have a ge.

Thanks man...You read my mind when you said that toyota running long and strong shit.....I will seriously reconsider it....

but anyways...

Here is the reply i got from the owner...

The dash light that's on is the coolant light, which again, I am not sure it's indicating a problem. At once point this light came up intermitently.I drained and refilled the coolant, and the light was gone. However, it came back after a while. I had a mechanic check out the car for blown headgasket (Northhills Automotive), but they dictated there was no problem. Up to this point, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the cooling system, other than the light that's on. The car doesn't overheat, and it has never shown any BHG symptoms.

here are some of the pics...

It could just be that he doesn't keep ccolant in his catch can for the engine to drink from. So he's probably sucking air into his coolant system.

That's a nice whip. You don't want to buy it without having a mechanic look at it or having a current clean bill of health from the dealership.

This is all about covering your a$$.
