supra?

so a guy i know wants me to buy his 82 supra.. i guess its aftermarket twin turbo, 80,000 miles on it, 5 spd and the body isnt in too bad of shape, id didnt see much rust at all on it. he's moving to thialand soon so needs to sell the car quick, aka i could probably get it for real cheap. buttt i need a second opinion, im not too sure if i should go for it. any ideas?

I didn't know the older ones were a twin turbo?  Do you have any pics of the car?

Hmmm... pics would determine my decision.
 
But if I was to say right off the bad, I wouldn't touch it. Even though its a Toyota, its older, and regardless of miles, weathering takes its toll.

why would someone TT an older supra. and why would you want an 82? those things are ugly IMO.

Dude come on, the girl is 18, and doesn't **** loose change.

i dont understand that comment at all. Maybe if you could try and type inteligently and without the language i might understand it alittle better.

As you wish.
 
She is 18, and her income is respective of her age. In other words, she isn't making high 5 figures to afford anything extravagant. I assume the previous owner of the car was in a similar situation. Hense why he TT'ed an older Supra.
 
No need to be a dick about it

what would become of the clipse? still a project for the go?

I think the answer to that is a given :P

So far I have tracked down, and she has purchased:

o2 housing
Exhaust Manifold
Turbo
Intake
SMIC
All piping
BOV
MAF
A/C Compressor
Both Radiator fans
All 4 Calipers

All this for like... next to nothing.
 
So really, the only thing now is to put it all together, and thats where you come in lol. I did my part lol.....

do you stalk all the girls that join MF?

of course the eclipse is still a project, that car is like my child hahah. we'll get her done jp dont worry bout that!

Lauren, I have owned supras and i know supras.. Please, do not listen to that other idiot.. Maybe if his head wasnt so far up his rear end, his attitude wouldnt reflect the location of his head..
MK2 Supras are still very desirable because they're rare.. Its not like an MKIII... I am hoping that person replaced the engine when he upgraded to a twin turbo, since MK2s are single turbos.. It leads me to believe he put a 1JZGTE engine in the car (a very common engine swap for MK2/Early Year MK3s).. If done right, and the car is in great condition, it would be a good pick up.. I know of an MK2 that had a 1JZGTE swap, and is in prestine condition that sold up here for $7K.. The 1JZGTE is a very good engine.. You do not generally have to worry about rodknock or BHG (Blown Head Gaskets) like the 7MGTE engines in the 86.5-89 MK3 Supras..I would like to know the price that you can pick the car up at, and pictures before I can make a decision.. If you do pick it up, I would advise you to join 2 sites... www.supraforum.com  and www.supramania.com   both contain a bunch of much needed supra knowledge AND a great group of people who will guide you and provide you sound advice! I look forward to seeing pictures.. and Welcome to the Supra world :D

thank you, i appreciate your input. ill get some pictures asap and post them up for you

the MKII never came turbo as far as I know.   It was only an I6  NOT the 7M either. 
 
I agree if this car is TT it prob has a 1JZ in it.  which is a decent swap.  I also agree that the MKII are ugly as hell.  they are rare but not THAT rare.  I mean they made quite a few of them
