86.5 for $700

Blaines86.5 · 06-06-2007, 07:26 PM

i have never owned a supra i have two freinds that own them and they love them i was just wondering if i should buy this car it is an 86.5 there is no motor or tranny but i get a 7m turbo motor and trans with purchase

First responce: NO

Second responce: Why? Because you don't know where the hell that engine even came from. A good rule of thumb when trying to buy something broke down. Is to not buy something torn apart from head to toe.

Sure the big parts are there. But what about the small parts that make the big parts actually work.

You don't want the headache unless you have previous experience in the supra.
And then it's questionable.

You'll spend a couple hundred bucks on nuts and bolts. You don't know how long it's been torn apart or anything.

Then it's an 86.5. Those models are cars that only a first owner can love man. That car has two of everything so you have to order twice the parts from toyota because you don't know what you have. Maybe not for everything but there will be times like that.

I'm trying to think of reasons why you should spend 700$ on a whip in 3 pieces, lol. There isn't one.

I hope this helps.

the car overall is nice it has everything it is a freind of mines the motor has been rebuilt but he doesnt have time to work with the car anymore he has two other similar supras he is working on and has no room time or money for this one i could get the car running in about 1 day

GD. 1 day. You should charge admission or do your own version of overhauling only in hours. You could be a star.

thats not too far fetched..

if everything is in its proper place i dont see why he wouldn't be able to do it in a day.

supramacist · 06-07-2007, 12:59 AM

One guy one day and 3 huge pieces.

I'd have to see it to believe it. For real.
Plus together and actually running are 2 extremely different things.

i have done many engine swaps and repairs at my house i have taken out and put back in at least 6 or 7 in the past year. most of them in a day or less. my step dad is able to do this in just over 4 to 5 hours. i dont understand why this is so un beleivable you must have never seen a mechanic work

Blaines86.5 · 06-07-2007, 10:21 PM

also all i have to do is the install everything is out the motor is already rebuilt

supramacist · 06-08-2007, 02:54 PM

This isn't your grandpappys old chevy or ford truck.

If you fuck around and miss something you'll be doing it again.

I'm not even going to touch your real mechanic comment.

These cars are just a different breed and because it's rebuilt doesn't mean dick.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time or anything. I just don't want to see you have to do it all over again. Is all.
