Hi, I've just bought my new ride a 1994 TR magna so I'm new to the club. Hi All Im chasing little bits and pieces for it like a grey radio trim panel, lh headlight boot garnish panel etc.

Paid $200 for it with 167,000 km's on the clock, recon transmision and new brake pads all round. The interior is perfect, still smells like a new car. Only bad thing is the paint on the bonnet,boot, and roof is stuffed oh and I need new valve stem seals, car was sitting for 2 years before i bought it.

I've gotta say I am a ford person but the magna has definately grown on me.

Welcome mate, $200 cant go wrong. Just make sure you service it well, unlike fords where you can neglect them and they still go and go and go with these if you neglect them, it will show.
New stem seals will set you back about $400 fitted. Just make sure before you go spending money on it, engine wise its in otherwise good nick, or else you can spend a ton of money on these.

Yeah, i've just wacked in Penrite HPR30 for the engine oil and used a RYCO oil filter, air filter was like brand new so i left it, flushed the coolant and put Tectaloy X-Tra cool gold in it, now all that's left is brake fluid and auto trans fluid/filter
