That’s a perfect spec in my eyes. Did you buy it before or after the pandemic?

Thanks, it's a very basic bnr32 but I love it. I've owned it for 9 years at this point, was in storage for a while when I moved across the country but I've been trying to drive it more lately.

What’s it like trying to track down parts? I’m assuming you have to do all the work on it yourself.

Toyota/nissan had this thing where you could placr your reservations/preorders for parts on their old popular cars. Thats how I got my parts for Supra. I dont remember names of these events, been like a decade ago. They took orders for 1-2 years or more and then made and shipped parts all at once.

Parts availability is similar to any other fairly popular vintage car. Some things are unobtainium, but a lot of it's readily available + cheap. All work done on the car has been by me or my brother; he did a full engine rebuild when it was discovered to have low oil pressure right after purchase, and basically went through the entire car for me after putting it back together. It's really not needed much since then outside of some random failures here and there, but I don't put a ton of miles on it. There are a number of shops in the PNW that seem happy to work on them though.

I mean for a car as famous as that, I’m sure many shops anywhere would be happy to take it in.
