So, I'm finally (nearly) in the market for a Mk4 Toyota Supra after a stressful 6mth finding a good E55 for my dad. After rooting through a billion bull****ters from West London, Midlands and Bradford, I found a sweet 1 owner, low mileage E55K in Derbyshire. That car is now home and awaiting a full detail before enjoying life being lovingly cared for.
Anyway, I've hankered for a Supra for a long time, but I was either too poor, couldn't run two cars or tied up with other stuff. Now I'm finally where I need to be, having pushed hard to buy my first home, having given something back to my family for their support and just generally otherwise spunking money on in-home tech, renovations, social life etc.
I've done some homework, but can anyone talk to me about issues, reliability, things to check when viewing etc?
The holy grail is of course the 2JZ-GTE but I'm not strict, all it needs to be is manual. The reason I say is that I am no stranger to tuning, so an NA is likely to be turbocharged at some point however, I'd like to know the viability of doing that vs. just plumping up for a 2JZ-GTE (factory twin turbo) in the first place.
Basically, throw me any info.
This will be primarily a Summer car run alongside my C63, kept well for investment purposes now I have space to store it.
