First let me introduce myself,
My name is Josh, I have been working full time the last 9 months to get a car I really want. For a while I was into modding rx7's then I moved onto hondas ( NOT RICEY! ) and now I can finally afford my dream car that ever since I was 11 I have wanted. I am turning 19 in july, I started working on hondas and rx7's (mainly my friends) out of my garage at 13 years old. I know its sounds hard to beleive but if you came by my garage you would beleive it. I do work at a shop now that does mainly Honda/Acura/Nissan. Now onto the supra
OK well im pretty much picking up a supra this saturday ( 94 blk TT 6spd ), but im stilling thinking about the compression numbers. I took them when the motor was cold and my numbers were from front to back
180
168
175
175
175
175
The 168 number is buggin me, I know this well within normal variance on cars but, I'm just concerned if this will be having problems in the future. Could the motor already be having problems? The car has 95k miles and but this owner it has been nothing but babied - 4600 miles in 28 months. But i am unsure of the other 2 owners, but the guy im buying from a 35 yr/old doctor and only did 2 mods to it; intake and downpipe. But on the upside it had the valve stems seals replaced and pretty much every thing at 90k too. (clutch / flywheel / timing belt / valve stems seals/ pcv valve/ :blah: :blah: and a bunch of other stuff that i cant remember) Also another thing, the clips for the coil packs were really beat up, like someone broke them when they removed the coil packs for spark plug changes...... is there anywhere I can pick up the connectors and solder the new ones on? thanks alot guys
PS- Im glad i can finally say that i own a supra that i got with all my own hard work..... no payments from mom and dad. This is my car! AND I NEED TO CHANGE MY NAME! thanks guys
