    Help somthings gone wrong!!!

    I looks like it's dead. As for where to get a good one you have me since I don't actually own a TR yet. If I were in your shoes I'd just go to any parts store and get a rebuild with a lifetime replacement plan. I've done this with other cars and figure if it dies on me again, all it'll cost...

    I looked at my first GN.

    I looked at my first GN at a dealer Friday. It was an '86 with 49K. The car looked perfect from the outside and the interior looked almost new. The car had everything except a moonroof or t-tops. The car looked as if it was repainted in he past few years. The salesman claimed that the car...
