Incase you're wondering, it's a 1986 Toyota Supra with a 7M-GTE engine. It's an auto though, cause I was too lazy to get my manual licence, so drifto won't be as easy, but I'll learn. Also the roof comes off like what, oh shi I have to re attach it.

As for spilling things and drifto month...on this awesome TV show called Trailer Park Boys, there's a character who's always got a glass of rum and coke in his hand. One time he rolled a car, and when he got out, he still had the rum and coke, without a drop spilled. Hee hee.

Julien! Nice to see someone mentioning that show. I love the running gag with the glass. I especially like that he's never visibly drunk depite the fact that he's drinking non-stop all day.

- HKS Metal Head Gasket, blardy 7m's are hopeless with BHG
- Hi-flow the turbo
- good alarm system, no bastard is nicking my car
- bigger intercooler, boourns to the small factory one
- [strike]stupid hotwheels paintjob and night rider lights so i can be 2fast2furious[/strike]
- some form of bodykit for the front, nothing stupid but the stock one has a few cracks anyway
- black 18" wheels of some description, there are some nice Advanti ones
- coilover suspension and maybe R34GTR breaks, they bolt straight on and are better than the current ones I have
and some other stuff futher down the track. I'll keep the pix coming, even though other than the wheels / suspension you wont really be able to see any of that stuff

Drool, the amount of gaming stuff you could buy with that money...
You don't understand, I wanted this particular car, a Toyota Supra. The distance travelled isn't that important to me, I'd be more worried about a car this old with hardly any k's on the clock, means it's sat around doing nothing for a while, which isn't good for cars at all. Also, the engine would only be around 150,000 old at the very most.

Eh I do know you wanted that car. What I'm saying is why not spend like $2000 more on a Supra with less miles on it, that will last you longer and run into less maintenance problems, especially if you're going to put over $10,000 more into the car. I dunno I just don't see spending $17,500 AUD on a car that's not going to last long.
Post by: DrZoidberg on August 28, 2004, 11:41:52 PM
Also, to get a Supra with less k's I'd have to import one, and I didn't want to go through that hassel just yet.

These looks nice. But...
...nah, I don't want a sportscar. Most are too small for my tastes. I want a 4-door sedan, thus why I'm interested in the Impreza!

That's why I'm spending x amount of dollars on it, so it does last longer, there won't be many original parts left on it when I'm done, new breaks, suspension, transmition, exhaust, intercooler, engine at some stage. Once all that's done there isn't much left that can fail due to age.

Just because one car lasts long, doesn't insure another will, especially different makes. 270,000 km, that's like only 175,000 miles. At 200,000 miles is generally when you run into trouble. Theres a helluva lot more parts than what you listed, many things you can't change too unless you took the whole car apart down to tiny individual pieces. But with all the things you're changing, you'll have some luck. Hopefully it's worth all the money, it's risky compared to buying a new car with a warranty.

No no no. I don't want the biggest 4 door sedan. A medium sized one is perfect for me. Like my old Ford Telstar I still push to it's limits today....lol

Someone who can read my mind!
I hate luxury cars too, whether I'm rich or not. And I consider the Lexus to be a sh!tty luxury Toyota. Not that Toyota is sh!t. I like their cars (my parents drive 'em), just not the Lexus line.
