My 88 Supra

[Grandavi]

I doubt you paid as much as i did... ; ) (6k)

After owning mine for almost a month now, I realise I overpaid by about 2k. Which is no biggie... it's the only way he would part with it.

I just bought a JVC-KDAVX11 DVD deck for it, gonna pull the Panasonic deck out and sell it. This one will read DVD's so I can put my entire music collection on one disc. Now I gotta rip apart the dash a bit to get at the deck and hopefully wire it all up correctly. So far, I can only see 2 screws in the ashtray, but Im gonna assume there are probably 2-4 more I havent found yet. I gotta ground it to the ebrake as well because this puppy has true LCD so you can watch movies on its mini screen if ones so inclined...
record those youtube drifting movies and play em while you drive.. lol.

If you are talking about the carpet stain, its probably dirt.. but also I wouldnt doubt its brake fluid from a "once leaky" clutch master cylinder. Failing that.. its just heavily ground in dirt... I cleaned mine as much as possible then threw pretty car mats on top of it. Otherwise you just end up grinding a hole thru the carpet anyway.

Wasn't it also valued at 6k? The person i bought mine off wanted 7 for it. He wanted that much because the rims are "brand new" and because its in such great condition for a stock supra, there's actually not a piece of rust on the car even the wheel wells. Its also a brand new paint job so i offered him six because the rims on the right side are rashed, i also brought up the BHG problem that will have to be dealt with soon (30,000km to go but still). He took it and its now sitting in front of my house. I laughed when i resised that the cars older than me, and in five years i'll be able to put collector plates on it LOL. I want to get a value on it, i kinda think i paid about a grand to much but watever your'll never see another 17 year old kid driving a supra like this to school.

cough.. cough... ahem, i am 17 also. 18 in two months. i bought the car for myself on my 17th b-day. best present ever. haha. im dealing with the bhg right now. i am getting the head machined and pressure checked as i type this. as for shops in bc, ask around and see if anyone has ever worked on one. when i brought the head into the shop i said nothing and they guy took one look and said... supra right? so i knew i could trust him.

Very true

Yeah, mine got appraised for 6k, but if I had been a member here earlier, I would have bought Mr. Nickle eye's or the 1985 one that is in immaculate shape. However.. having said all that, you got a great car, something actually worthwhile putting money into for upkeep unlike a Ford Taurus or something silly : )

I also know that when I was 17, I drove a 72 Corolla.. and I drove it hard. If I had a Supra at that point in my life... not sure I would have survived... (my brain was very tiny back then) You got a great car, keep treating it how you plan and you should be very happy.

I did lol, and I got plenty of looks. Thrown a lot of leg because of this car.... Keep the oil changed, and the coolant levels right. Learned the hard way....
