I'm considering the purchase of a Supra MKIV. I'd like to find a FAQ with information so far as what to look for, what to avoid, and some general pointers about the cars. I understand BPU levels etc. and I'm not ignorant so far as turbos and EFI go but I don't know at what point I should be looking for upgraded fuel pumps and I don't know why someone would advertise having put a resistor on their MAF meter
12volt mod on thre fuel pump sounds straightforward enough I think but is there a downside? What would I look for to see if mods have been removed? Anyone in Northern VA that could hook me up with a shop, club, or helpful locals? (okay, sort of NW VA) Actually a club would probably be a big help.
I believe I'm looking for a car that's had some mods but I'm pretty sure I don't want one too full of tweaks - especially if the AEM computer can replace so many alphabet soup piggyback controllers
What sorts of mods are bad ideas and would indicate cars to avoid? I understand that at some point the Supra went OBDII, which year and should I avoid those if I intend many mods? I believe, but am not positive, that the AEM computer could still replace an OBDII but... Which years changed the bodystyle? Looks like 97 moved the turn signals out of the way of the intercoolers?
Anyway, you get my drift. I've been reading in here as best I can and hunting through other pages to answer my questions but I'd like to educate myself with something a little more targeted towards a new buyer. Is there's such a FAQ? Have I missed it somewhere? I'm noticing for instance that many cars have light interiors, I'm most interested in black - does this combo not exist in certain colors\years? When I bought my RX7 I was able to find this kind of help and I'msure it must also exist in the Supra world, yes?
Thanks, someone please help a brother out
