I am the proud new owner of a new(to me) white 86' Supra. Always liked the car, and I was in desperate need of something while my XR4TI awaits a rebuild and my daily driver (an accord) died horribly. So at 2K Cdn, with minimal to no rust I bought one. And it would force me to learn how to drive stick. Poor things clutch is taking a beating as I figure it out. =)
Anyway, a few things I noticed I'm wondering if they are normal or should look more closely at them.
- After a run at 120km/h or so it smells odd(hot) when I'm stopped. Coolant temp stays normal though.
- Fair amount of play in the shifter, about an inch I can waggle it around when it's in gear. Doesn't seem right.
- On the way to work the brake and battery light flashed on and off a couple of times, very quick and barely noticed it. Haven't seen it go off again. When it did I was in 3rd gear going about 60km/h. It wasn't the normal display of lights I get when I try and start from a stop. =) (nub stick drivers)
But, after 5 days of owning the car. I'm definitely enjoying this car a lot. What was intended as a daily driver is tempting me into treating it as another project car. Shame I can really only finance one project at a time. =)
