wow spot on lol subaru is even worse fucken hard to get parts on and off because its a tight design Parts brake easy and parts are expensive..... for example Iacv is $1200 for 98 wrx and for a rear diff its 9k for a rear diff.... stuff this im going to sell my wrx ..... waste of money
Sam trebil i have a gc8 also and replaced my whole rear driveline assembly for 1200 second hand + installed. You're being ripped off bro. My subaru has been hella reliable - just depends on previous owners usually
Louis Caputo yeah far out lucky you bro. .I've had nothing but problems. ..yeah 1200 sounds about right for second hand....I was talking about brand new parts from subaru ...still can't believe some of the prices for subaru parts ....it's a rip off because in some cases it's even more expensive than Mercedes Benz
correct me if im wrong..but there is no difference between the front bumpers from 93 to 02, and many of the bodyparts have now been duplicated so no worries..
The differences are fairly minor, but they're there. The mounts for the parking light/indicator assembly on the series 2 are different, as well as for the indicators on the sides of the front bumper, which aren't present on the series 1 models.
@@antipixel. but that must only regard the us models,cause euro and jdm didnt come with side indicators,those where mounted on the fenders,tiny square ones..i have series one 1 bumper and there where imprints for facelift front indicators..but as you say,its very minor!
With mine its always small auxiliary part failures, nothing ever catastrophic. And of course the annoying drivers who drive dangerously and wont leave you alone on the road. Act like theyve never seen the car before.
Hi man very nice car, ive got a black mk4 too, thinking of going with a single on it. Unfort mine is a JDM - so 440 injectors etc - makes it a bit harder for me. Im aware that the manifold is the main thing that changes the supra 'type' of sound it makes. So iwas gonna go with 6boost. Any recommendations, bro?
Should get a billet timing belt tensioner. I'd really like to see a side shot of you car to get a better look at the carbon pieces you have on the sides, I bought the same ones for when my car is finished but haven't been able to see them properly on a car with the front lip and rear diffuser.
Yes I have a billet tensioner bracket I'll be using for the timing belt change. I'm actually going to do a video in a week or so on the carbon side skirt extensions. I'll put the link in this reply when I upload in case you want to check it out.
Remember 7-10 years ago these cars were 4-8 grand now shit these go here for 20k+ unless its ur dream car its not worth it with the money I could buy a 240sx and turbo it make it sexier & faster
3) V160/W58 4) Floor mats ($600 - $900 for floor mats!?) 5) Too many other interior pieces to name, from full door panels to turn signal switches (seriously, it's long enough that it seems like it'd be a shorter list to make of what's NOT discontinued in the interior) 6) Control Arms 7) Rear Quarter Panel 8) Front Windshield 9) OEM Wiring Harness 10) '93 - '96 tail and headlights This could be a long list but I'm going to stop here.
Question.. Do you ever plan on showing us videos of the car making some serious pulls or do you just like talking about the car. This is the only Chanel that has more talking than Action. Damn get with it Mate.
@TunerTestDrive Do you do stocks for a living? I could be over thinking your TTD logo , but it's a clear uptrend squeezing the shorts. I thought maybe a stock trader such as my self may incorporate that into a logo to give some credit to the means that made dreams possible financially.
Haven't watched yet but my first guess was confirmed in the description. Plus I'd imagine the tickets from the cops are a PITA. Not like you buy this car to pedal the fucking thing around like granny on Sunday
Haha yeah get this on mine with NO keys in you could hit the brakes and the fuel pump would turn on and start pumping fuel it took me about 2 weeks to find the problem

Sam trebil that sucks man... Hope you get it worked out!
yeah it will work out once i sell it and i dont have to deal with it any more lol
The worst thing of owning a Supra is jdm meets Supra owners might see their adversary a Nissan Skyline GT-R
Nothing but love for my GTR brothas....
Wtf are you talking about , you think thats a problem ? , imagine having a 89 mk3, exactly and i still find good parts.
Happens to every older car, I just don't think people realize that the OEM parts are starting to disappear since the MKIVs are still fairly popular.
Same
Glad they brought back headlights and taillights and other discontinued parts
Is there a list / website for these newly available parts?
*IS THAT A SUPRA?!*
I LOVE my 95 Supra. The only thing missing is a CUP HOLDER.
They make them now lol
I guess I should have said built in cup holder. I have since found a cup holder/ catchall thingy!! LOL
@@Nubianqueenann my water usually rode right beside my seat belt lock lol
LOL!! Well ya know us girls are kinda PRISSY, & I didn't want to risk spilling water or anything else I might be drinking on myself!! LOL

yaaaa ok...try owning a 1983supra and trying to find parts.....
With mine its always small auxiliary part failures, nothing ever catastrophic.
And of course the annoying drivers who drive dangerously and wont leave you alone on the road. Act like theyve never seen the car before.
How about people who ring your doorbell or leave notes on your car, trying to buy it, AS IF YOU don't want your car!! SMH!!
The worst thing? I don't know, I just love mine. Peace.
Why did you stop making video's I love your channel💔
Hi man very nice car, ive got a black mk4 too, thinking of going with a single on it.

Im aware that the manifold is the main thing that changes the supra 'type' of sound it makes. So iwas gonna go with 6boost.
Any recommendations, bro?
If you want the "Supra" sound stay away from the cast manifolds. 6boost is a quality manifold so you should no issue with it.
100% agree to stay away from casts, cheers bro keep up the vids, man

Not sure where you are from but in the US they never dropped to the 4-8 grand range and now they are a minimum of about 20k for an NA auto. Crazy.
Yea it is my dream car . The best car
Fast forward to 2023 and na/auto cars are $40-50k
Name a discontinued part for the MKIV Supra....I'll go first
1) Gold emblems
2) MKIV Supra
^ LOL!
Lol nice 👍 !
3) V160/W58
4) Floor mats ($600 - $900 for floor mats!?)
5) Too many other interior pieces to name, from full door panels to turn signal switches (seriously, it's long enough that it seems like it'd be a shorter list to make of what's NOT discontinued in the interior)
6) Control Arms
7) Rear Quarter Panel
8) Front Windshield
9) OEM Wiring Harness
10) '93 - '96 tail and headlights
This could be a long list but I'm going to stop here.
Decside, either you own a Supra or are a very informed Supra-holic with your knowledge of discontinued parts 🤔
Got mine and I love it. yeah its a 94 NA Auto but I still own a supra that I can build and make it my own.
I've been kicking around the idea of picking up an NA auto to tinker with, we all know the 6speeds are just way too expensive anymore.
Yeah the supra tax ids getting out of hand. Wish I would have picked one up years ago when I had the chance.
What does the MK4 stand for on it? Is it all wheel drive or is it like a 4th gen
4th generation of the car
Question.. Do you ever plan on showing us videos of the car making some serious pulls or do you just like talking about the car. This is the only Chanel that has more talking than Action. Damn get with it Mate.

I do not, just typical retirement investing
Well I was gonna get one for my first car.......comments do your thing
I don’t think it will be a good first car it will be an ok first car i you bought an NA mrk4 not an twin turbo
what website do you order from?
Most of my mods have been bought from Powerhouse Racing, Real Street Performance, and MVP Motorsports.
Why don't people just make these discontinued parts or something......there's 3d printing and other gizmos
There's some people that are starting to. Will be years (if ever) before all parts are remanufactered though
Tuner Test Drive I guess this isn't a relevant issue in the eyes of thw world, but it can easily be done unless there are patent restrictions
What part of PA?
West side near Pittsburgh.
Please have your Parkinson's diagnosed and treated. This shaky camera stuff is making me sick haha.
Very nice MK4.
Haven't watched yet but my first guess was confirmed in the description. Plus I'd imagine the tickets from the cops are a PITA. Not like you buy this car to pedal the fucking thing around like granny on Sunday
Dope!
Still better than any other car
Can u give that to me 😜
And one more thing this is the most unreliable car in terms of electronics and stuff .. Every supra owner knows
Agreed These cars are old, elecrical issues are going to be common.
Haha yeah get this on mine with NO keys in you could hit the brakes and the fuel pump would turn on and start pumping fuel it took me about 2 weeks to find the problem
@supranut7164 you still own the supra? Your mk4 is insane.
