what do you think?

Have seen one of these things modified around Ragama 'Thae watta' area, some time back. The engine was mounted on chrome pipes with the bonnet popped-off, funky purple paint n’ stuff... it was one wild ride...

Yep, Inde Suspension it is....really makes driving more predictable.

But, the rear is still trailing arms, and (still) lively as a grasshopper!

Downside is that the steering and other parts are completely different from the standard 1300, making spare parts and restoring expensive and difficult!

Welcome to the world of classic cars Supra. But don't worry everyone (including me) goes thru with this pain. Its ALWAYS more than what you expect. And as you seems to be a real car nut/petrol head, warnings will never work :D !

Thanks GTAm, and i figured you would definitely know what it's like.......:D

but honestly, nothing chases the stress of a long day away like pottering around the garage watching them going about things and trying (usually unsuccessfully) to lend a hane :lol:

Couple of months back I observed a mechanic working on one which had been to the former agents for servicing and had been sent back with the headlight hanging out because they couldn't figure out how to put it back after they removed it.

The car was about 4-5 years old and on the whole the construction of the thing was pretty shabby. Panel fit was poor, interior had not aged well at all. Overall build quality nowhere near to that of a similar age Bora or Passat. Definitely not worth paying a premium for....

Can you tell me where this Mechanic is? I have just bought a Bora and am interested in finding out about mechanics who can service the car.

SN can I suggest you look at a Variant instead! They are much rarer and IMO better looking and sportier.

May I add quicker too with the 1.6 engine. ;)

had a ride in an absolute minter recently - can vouch for the fact that it feels more 'together' and certainly more brisk
