Question looking @ a 94 supra...guys chime in

many guys around here on cl have had or still own a supra. I get on supraforums.com some looking, and i think i have found one i could go for. The 1994 black targa w/mods has 100k on the chassie and 6k on the brand new motor and turbos. Some upgrades along the way for it. hks mods...can't really call them all out, had some cams installed, exhaust. Sounds like a dream. The car has a fan shroud that is going to be replaced...it is a part which is replaced alot he said...around 140 bucks...underneath the hood of course...about the only thing he said needs replacing. So my questions is, anything i should look for in the automobile. problems, questions i should ask? thaanks bryan

Make sure you do a compression test and test the tranny out well. Make sure you dont have grinding synchros on the up or downshift!!

Huh? If you are interested in the car, take it to a shop of your choice and have them do a compression and leakdown test!! It may cost ~$100. to do so!!
