lamboyello Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hey guys, havent had a supra for a while as i had a house and such so cars had to go on the back burner... now wanna get myself another supra, but this time a full on tt. Going to look at one on fri and wondered if anyone with a tt could let me know about any problems with the engine that i should look out for when viewing. Ive looked at all the reviews but you cant beat owning one to know what to look for..the one im looking at is a 97 P reg with 50k on the clock for 9800, what you think? Has full kit on outside, looks polo mintness. By the looks the inside could do with a bit of cleaning up. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Nothing major seems to go wrong with the 2JZ apart from valve stem seals, which leads to smoking on startup. You'll also wanna check that both turbo's are coming online at the right times and pulling steadily through the rev range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Check the FAQ section, theres a buying guide there. I could name lots of things to look at when buying a 12 yr old car, brake lines and fuel lines for starters. Dont assume even if the car has lots of mot on it that all is well underneath, plenty of things can be easily missed or not spotted. Ive seen a few mkivs that i wouldnt buy after id seen underneath the car, dont be fooled by nice paintwork and bling under the bonnet. Good luck with finding a nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
