    fyi u got screwed on that deal. that car is SUPER problems. there are like 3 oil leaks on the motor, the passenger side motor mount is held in with zipties if im not mistaken the diff mount is about shot??

    i went to look at it from a "private seller" who was driving another car from the same place, a supra turbo. also COMPLETELY full of problems. if it was me..... ditch the car. unless you like suprises.

    and if you knew about all of this stuff, idk why you bought it. if you didnt, sorry to burst your bubble, the "private seller" was going to give it to me for 3500... and ya, the "private seller" works at the dealership you bought the car from.
    he told me he bought the car for a friend but the friend got robbed and couldnt buy the car from him, so he "needed to get rid of it fast", and had a similar story for the supra.....

    if you think im just ****ing around, it is leaking oil SLOWLY out of 3 spots on the front of the motor 2 places near the intake man. and one above/behind the water pump. and i bet the dealership, unless they decided to fix the diff. mount and motor mount after me and a friend pointed it out, missed it in their inspection b4 they sold it to you.

    Yeah i just found the motor mount. the diff mount was replaced. i just found the oil leaks this morning. I had no idea all this stuff was wrong with it. but im going to start working my way through them. im going to install the switch for the fuel pump tonight. just wondering if anyone can refer me to a good rotary shop localy. but thanks for the heads up. i bought it and kinda knew it was going to be a project. i just ordered a motor mount about 5 mins ago. so i geuss its time to start fixing it.
    Try not. Do or Do not.
