lumpy Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide, SA Registered: May 2002	Re: Looking at buying an MA70 Supra Fri, 19 September 2003 07:44 I have one of these (well, before it got a 1jz), and they are a nice car. Good luxo options, handle very well, look good and are very strong. Many options including climate control, tems suspension, leather seats etc were available and they don't appear to rust as much as the earlier supras. Most people have an opinon of the 7m engine having head gasket problems but mine never did as I doubt it had enough compression to blow head gasket! Main problem now would be the age of the engine - most have 200-300K's plus on the clock and probably were thrashed a bit. Mine leaked oil like mad, burnt oil, ran rich all the time and eventually the front pulley came loose, threw out the woodruff key and scored the crankshaft too badly to repair. If you can get one with a decent/rebuilt engine for 8K then you'd be OK. Manuals are pretty quick considering the weight of the car, don't know too much about the auto's.
