1997 Supra - Twin Turbo
I'm in Houston, I'm just now getting into the market for these cars... (Sold my twin turbo Supra). Looking for a family/fun car. I don't care about MPG so this and the E39 M5 are solidly on my radar.
Do you still have the car / can you show maintenance for things done in the period you've owned it? I don't mind if a car has been put through it's paces, but if it's done doughnuts over and over and worn out the transmission/radiator "strawberry" issue to the point I'm on the cusp of a major repair, or the non-Arnott suspension is dying I'd like to know in advance. It wouldn't make me NOT buy the car, I'd just make me consider the additional costs if 4-8 hours after turning the car off the tires are sitting on the wheel-wells.
I like fast... I just don't want another project. Stock is nice, well / cleanly modified is nicer. I know these cars can make 600+ hp without any real danger to the transmission/engine....

I still have the car. I’ve never done donuts or burnouts in the car, not that kind of driver. I have changed the front control arms and ball joints and done an oil change. Didn’t take it anywhere, so no records. The guy I bought it from did all the mods and maintenance, no records. I don’t know of any issues other than what’s listed about the pano roof.

I am the new owner of this car. I wanted to address some of the concerns. Coming from a 32 (which I still have), I had concerns, but not overly so. I contacted some of my friends who race their 32's (one on nitrous who holds the 32 record of like 10 seconds) and the consensus was that there is nothing to worry about. The M112K/M113K engines are mostly bulletproof. Which I knew, but good to confirm with those who routinely race their cars. I have inspected the engine and the only issue is a strange tapping sound, which I think is a pulley. It's not lifters because it does not go away. I may work on checking the pullies this weekend, as the last thing I need is a pulley explosion. First thing I did on my 32 as well, as I had several pullies making sounds on that car when I got it. One being the Idler, the other being the Alternator. This engine is a heck of a lot quieter than my 32 and the transmission is smooth as silk. I wish my 32 was in as good of condition. You can tell it has been REALLY well taken care of by AustoMotasto & Cutt.
The car was Dyno'd a few months before being sold to AustoMotasto and that showed that the engine was good and strong. But man that engine is tight in there! Hard to get around it, unlike the 32.
