Looking for an opinion

Are you prepared to replace the entire engine with a 7m which you've already replaced the headgasket on?

These a first time for everything

>>17700194

Rust in the rear hatch killed every single one of these that I ever saw. May not be an issue depending on where you live I guess

>>17700212

A60 supra never came out with a 7m engine

>>17700579

That's why you have to swap it in + a new headgasket if you want an engine that isn't a turd. Good luck making a 5me reliable!

make sure you drive it like takumi and record it

Wtf it's not an American car... Pretty sure all Toyota's corolla and up came with anti roll bars since the mid 70's.

Get a celica coupe, faggot.

Look at this thing though. It's slick. Supras are dime a dozen beaters.

I know nothing of cars so what the owner did to the engine is entirely a mystery

And the inside needs some updates

>>17700739
Well the engines were made back in the early days of EFI so after 30 years they usually have some problems with their electrics - plugs deteriorate, sensors die etc... This can cause the engines to run poorly and it can be hard (expensive) to track down problems when they arise.

The 5ME (single cam) engine we get here in Australia has a pretty bad reputation as being an old lump of shit.
But the 5MGE (twin cam) engine you pictured is better, whether or not it's reliable I don't know.

Mechanically a Toyota will never break but electrically.....

I was looking at this same one on CL last night lol

every time there's a nice looking supra celica in the area it's always buttfucking automatic

which is probably why its so nice, because people never want to fucking drive it

no it's not

>>17701399
Yea I'm really want a manual car as my first I never really wanted a regular sedan or something. I wanted a unique first car

>>17701649
>I wanted a unique first car
Dude, all likelihood you're gonna fucking trash your first car or wrap it around a pole somehow.
Also underage b&?

>>17701656
No im 19 and some events got me and my dad in a tough spot financially and as far as getting a car that catches our eye this is the model and for the price not so bad

>>17701668
>in a tough spot financially
stay away from Supras

>>17701668
I was also looking at other supras as from recent years instead of the 85 like the 91, 88, and ect...

If that's the case then what would be a better car as far as something like this

>>17701399
this one is, yeah

but for like 2-3 months before this there weren't any manuals, only people selling supras in GREAT paint/interior/mechanical condition but they were all auto garbage

>>17700633
not him but how much should I expect to pay for a non-fucked celica?
There are a couple of 94s sitting around 2.5k, and another with "high" mileage at 1.6k locally
