Im pretty sure she does drive an Acura. She works at the Sidney Lordco. She used to deliver parts to the shops but now she mostly works the front counter.

islandsupra 08-30-2004 08:53 PM

well, looks like with any hope my car will be back soon too!!

I can't wait to drive it again. Although by the time it's fixed I probably won't be able to afford to drive the damn thing :P

Matt6003 08-30-2004 09:35 PM

Hey so im going to Vancouver on wednesday to check out an 87 N/A, just wonderin if theres anything you guys think i should be lookin at specifically, or be askin the guy about. I heard that its pretty corrupt over there... just wanna be able to see for myself if the car is gonna be worthwhile or not.
Thanks, Matt

Wow thanks Murray, thats like the greatest thing i've ever seen

Enraged 08-30-2004 10:01 PM

dont waste your time with an NA, look for a turbo, its worth the extra time and $$

Matt6003 08-30-2004 10:07 PM

Well that's one vote for a turbo and 2 for an NA, im not saying im right or anything, because i really dont know, but supposedly its much easier to work on an NA than a turbo, and its one less thing to worry about breaking, since i really dont have alot of cash to spare on replacing big things

Matt6003 08-30-2004 10:17 PM

but if i find a turbo at a good price i'd still pick it up

islandsupra 08-30-2004 10:43 PM

I second not wasting any time on an NA. It's just not worth it.... the whole time you will just be wishing you had bought a turbo, unless you just want a heavy ass daily driver.
Don't get me wrong, they are still nice and everything, more simple and possibly more reliable but if you are looking for a car for performance then a turbo is definetly the way to go. Tons more power despite what people say about it only being a few more ponies. The whole powerband is moved lower into the RPM range.

PS - I might have everything you need to convert to turbo pretty soon here. actually, practically everything but the block.

Matt6003 08-30-2004 10:47 PM

Well for now i need a daily driver, until i finish school anyways, then im all for converting to a turbo and steppin up the power, but for now i dont need it.

islandsupra 08-30-2004 11:18 PM

get a car that's lighter and cheaper on gas then!

I don't even think I'll be driving my supra much this year again. SInce moving and going to school, it's harder to drive around. I probably drove it for like 3 months in the last year.

Enraged 08-30-2004 11:27 PM

if you want a daily driver, buy a honda. cheaper on gas and more reliable than any supra...

Matt6003 08-30-2004 11:27 PM

I would get something lighter and better on gas, but i love the supra

I vote for buying something cheap and economical now, and saving for a turbo supra! A non-turbo probably doesn't get a whole lot better fuel mileage. Plus you don't want to have to convert it to a turbo, especially if you can't do it yourself.

islandsupra 08-31-2004 10:00 AM

haha, look at all the supra owners telling this guy not to buy one!

It's a tough choice, I hate driving other cars now. But at the same time I sometimes want to get rid of it and buy something that is cheaper to run. In all reality, the car is great for the price point, it's quite a car. But let's face it, they are not cheap to drive, insure or maintain!!

The point I am trying to make is not that you shuoldn't buy one, but that you shuold look into all these costs first, adn see if it will be a dream come true, or else a nightmare because you can't even afford to drive the damn thing.
