secondly, and this goes out to most of the posters in the thread:

do u even know this woman? how do u know a 7M-GE supra will be "too much car" for her?
i mean seriously, shes 18 so u specifically think she cannot handle a MA70.

How can u prove this?

perhaps shes grown up racing go-karts and is a better driver than all of you. you cannot prove this SO WHY MAKE COMMENTS LIKE THIS?

Pull your head in guys, this is a piss poor effort.

Sol_Supra a non-turbo MA70 will be fine. like all cars dont drive like a maniac and you'll be fine. These cars are easy to drive and handle well.

if you need some good info on getting the head gasket done feel free to talk to allan or ed_ma61 on the forums they should be able to point u in the right direction on what to tell your mechanic.

I had to giggle and smile at this - thanks Smile

Ill be honest I dont have much experience or knowledge, yet it is never too late to learn. I do like to think though that Im not some ditzy blonde chick that doesnt know shite.

Ofcourse Im going for non-turbo, Im not even considering it at this stage, later yes, now no. Swapping the 1jz into it is also for down the track not now. I may have my maniac driving moments, but not all that much - I intend to keep this car in top nick.

The one I looked at today which Im reeeally keen on had its engine rebuilt 3 and a half years ago too. Also had the diff rebuilt 5 years ago. Again the specs are:

TOYOTA SUPRA 1986, silver, 3.0ltr 5spd manual, climate control, cruise control, electric windows, remote central locking, alarm, 10 stack CD, 16 inch Auscar mags, lowered, 12 months rego, Immaculate inside and out, Ex Cond. $6.5 grand

Was very nice car and in wonderful condition. The only thing that concerns myself and my BF is there is are two spots of rust around the front windscreen surround. I have a friend thats in panel beating so im looking at him, but might anyone know the price to get this fixed *professionally* just so I atleast have something to budget by if need be?

Also be looking at replacing the head gaskets when I get it, does anyone have any ideas on pricing regarding that? Help appreciated.

And yes, I always love go-kart racing as a kid, and all my friends are heavily into car mechanics. As for my parents? err no. My mother owns a shitty ford capri which is falling apart more each day now, and my step-father owns a holden commodore (meh) so yeah.

Anyway, help appreciated and thanks for the comments and advice so far Smile

And thanks for the welcome Very Happy
