Hi guys! I've just moved out of my parents house, not too long ago with my piece of crap. Moving all my stuff in it was NOT easy, but I managed it. Now that I have my own place to stay, the car should only improve from it's current state. Currently the thing has a blown headgasket, oil pan gasket, bad piston rings, clogged pcv valve (really bad news), leaking power steering pump and a blown brake booster. I bought this car, knowing the potential it has, but didn't think this much work would have to go into it. The damn thing overheated on me on the way home from work. The car is RHD, so likely a Japanese import, which made it awkward to pull over on an American highway. I hope I get home. I'm looking into a cheap beater Civic to drive while I have this thing torn down.

Look at the parts in the mod. It's far more detailed then any other Supra MK4 mod, and while yes, it's dated, this mod is better for roleplaying because I can go into more detail. It's not about how good the mod looks, it's about how you use it.

^ Yeah, it has a gazillion removable parts. :D

Oh man, i had the exact same problem when i bought a cheap Supra. I was planning to fix up the engine but then i found another 2JZ for dirt cheap and swapped it right away. :P

I limped the car home. I didn't really go over half throttle, more or less because I'm scared of destroying the motor completely. I watched the temp gauge slowly climb past 210 degrees F, and i put the clutch in and turned the engine off, letting it coast till it had cooled down, or stopped, and continued driving. I've started tearing it down, more or less, after draining all the fluids. The oil probably isn't supposed to be the color of chocolate milk with sprinkles in it.





I found something interesting to drive while the Supra is down though. When I ran the VIN for this car, it claimed it didn't exist.





This car apparently doesn't exist. It's some form of phantom, or something. If anyone can get info on cars, let me know, because I bought this thing. I was told the car was abandoned in the old riverbed for a long time, so the interior reeks.

I got the motor torn down. And, well, its not good. The number 6 cylinder has standing coolant in it, and cylinders number 3 and 4 are the ones with the blown rings, so they're coated in oil. I'm considering just hitting up a junkyard, and trying to find an engine thats better off. Maybe I'll find something with less the 315k miles on it. I don't even know if it's worth trying to save this car. Might just set it on fire and roast some marshmallows over it.



The current state of my garage... Civic keeping the middle warm, and body parts scattered about.

"I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car."

"Whoa! 2JZ Engine! With about 10 grand in parts, this will dominate all."

Seriously, though, good luck fixing this thing up. Or buying a new one, really.

I'd offer you the marginally less battered and much less rusty shell from my stolen and stripped white '98, but even if I could get it back from the insurance company (it might be crushed by now), you probably wouldn't be much better off. Plus, the front end is still ruined from when the thieves messed it up taking the locked-down hood off.
