What is the average age of the MKIII driver?

[volto]

Im 22 and ive had my supra for about 4 years.

20 here, had my girl for about 9 months now. This car is lucky I love it, because I could be rich if I didn't have it! lol

Things I've done to it so far after market wise:
- Tokico adjustable gas shocks (all 4, $450)
- new toyo tires (all 4, $900 installed/balanced/aligned)
- racing brake pads (all 4, $500)
- new calipers (all 4, $500)
- new drilled+slotted racing rotors (all 4, $600)
- Apexi turbo timer ($100)

Things I've had to replace on the car:
- brake light sensor ($350)
- rear passenger marker light
- hood struts
- headlights (if that counts lol)

Things about to go wrong/need replacing soon :'(
- transmission requires a complete rebuild. That or a brand new one which is the same price. ($2800 installed)
- steering rack&pinion ($850 installed)
- exhaust leak getting worse down near the manifold somewhere...haven't got this checked out yet
- gradual loss of coolant. (showing no other signs of BHG yet, though I don't think it's been blown yet.)
- starts rough cold with a high idle until it becomes warm
- it's recently been making a wierd tin sounding whine, friends have suggested throttle body problems. I haven't had this checked out yet either.
- obvious slowwwww oil leaks, but that's common. I don't lose enough to care about yet.

So yeah, I've been or am about to go through hell and back with this car. Hopefully at the end it will be worth it. I have also heard that a crack in the throttle body could be a reason for loss of coolant and the reason I'm hearing a weird noise while it's cold.
