How much?

 

humm, the rear seat is werid i would try and fix it. See how it comes up slightly in the middle, i wonder why it does that. P.S i belive thats an SE from the hard top and the cloth seats =).

 

He had it listed at $16,500 but we decided that he could part with it for $14,500 :naughty:

 

I remember the first drive in my 95 se 5spd @ 47k miles... felt like a dream, the engine whine was almost orgasmic (yes, even missing a turbo!).

fast forward 3 years and I was TT BPU, fast forward 3 more and I am now single turbo and in the process of installing my 6spd, new flywheel and clutch, new axle and new 6spd rear end.

If you plan on doing what I did, make sure you have lots of $ and tons of patience on hand!

One thing I would worry about is the quality of the paint though, on the paint chips, can you clearly see the red paint underneath? If so, if that thing starts flaking off, you're gonna end up with a silver car with red polka dots :faint:

 

my clutch makes the same noise, nothing to worry abt (i didnt hear vid), but im pretty sure thats it. Replace the clutch when it needs to be and replace the throw-out bearing i think.

 

Im going to get a compression and leakdown test done on it before i even think about bying it. What are the stock numbers on the NA engine, i asked in another thred but never got an answer....

only took me a year and half to go tt bpu :bigthumb: lol how long did your 5 speed last you sorry to hijack thread,

and 14.5 is a good deal

that noise is the throw out bearing.

 

Looks like good deal to me, better jump on it. 60K is low mileage, plus you don't have to worry about a paint job. The noise is definately the throw out bearing. Its not hurting anything just annoying. Just have it taken care of when you get a new clutch.
Also might want to check rear upper control arms condition and rear wheel bearings. ( Jack up rear , grab the tire at opposite sides and see if there is any play in the wheel when you wiggle it back and forth. These kind of problems are usually seen closer to the 90K mark but you can look into it if you want. Don't wait long to decide because there is always someone else who wants a Supra close behind.

Thanks, but when i said numbers on the engine I was talking about the normal compression #'s for each cylinder in PSI...

 

looks good + its a hardtop. now throw a turbo on the GE or go GTE. oh yea and make sure you get insurance, full coverage.

 

Also, I noticed while i was under the car that the exhaust splits into two different resonators somewhere after the header and then join again at the muffler. Whats the idea with that? I think you can sort of see it in this pic....

its generally a dual exhaust design but meant to be much lighter because it goes to a single tip. the tt stock exhaust is similar but with no extra resonators.

also... i noticed he did a lot of brake work to a stock car w/ those miles. ask him why? its a bit unusual cause you said new cylinder and brake booster.

-Stainless steel brake lines
-Slotted and drilled rotors
-New master cylinder and brake booster

other than that id go for it. it reminds me of my car when i first bought it and it was such a memory. good luck!

it was actually a little over 2 years and I had to save up for the turbo conversion twice, cause my damned thief cousin racked up $4,000 in cell phone bills over 2 months - no lie... lol but that's another story.

my 5spd lasted me 30,000 miles at BPU levels and 3,000 single turbo - untuned, running no more than 450rwhp. It broke 3 days after a 600 mile abusive trip to tampa for a meet.

after a while that noise will get alot louder. it will bug the shit out of u when u go through drive throughs and if ur close to a wall or another car while ur a light. my integra was like that. wasnt really loud until another 10k then it bug the shit out of me. it cost me 800 for them to put in new bearings. but i dont know much it will be for a supra

 

It's the throwout bearing...mine is making the same noise, but I'm due up for a new clutch VERY soon, so I'm going to replace that while I'm at it.

 

A very nice car, but a little bit pricey isn't it?

Unless i misread something when he was descibing it it sounds like a good deal to me, it looks VERY clean and 60k is good

I used to have that noise too before I changed my clutch when I went TT. I took care of it with silicone spray... Just make sure you don't spray too much that it will get onto your fw/clutch disk/pp surfaces for obvious reasons. A few sprays with that little red straw should take care of it for quite a while. That squeak was annoying as all hell.

edit: ACTUALLY I JUST REMEMBERED!!! The silicone spray only worked for about a month at a time, but notice how the noise goes away the moment you begin putting any pressure on the clutch fork. What I did was that I bought a long spring from home depot, I wrapped one end of it on the clutch fork and I ran the other end through the tranny mount and attached it to itself. That spring creating a very light pressure was enough to make the squeak go away for good. It might seem ghetto, but it worked.

 

As long as it isnt a warning to a huge mechanical failure im ok with it. I forgot to mention also that it doesnt do it when the clutch is engaged in gear with the car rolling. So if its just at idle im not gonna loose sleep over it.

 

I'm willing to put my money on that this car is not a 60K miles car. Unless it's a salvage, this car has been thru alot and the odometer does not represent the true mileage.
