I'm 36 on my 1st Supra. I used to think I wanted a MkIV but now that I have driven my Targa for 6 months I can't even imagine having a non-Targa car. A friend had a new non-targa 86.5 when I was in high school (his dad was pretty well off) and I have wanted one ever since. I'm just glad I finally got one. Fortunately, I make enough now that I can afford to replace every part in it if needed to keep it on the road. I honestly cannot think of another car I would rather be driving and intend to drive this one until it is undrivable.

im 19 just bought my first 92 supra, used to own a dodge duster

...
 

im 22, ive had mine since i was 16. we've been through alot together, ive got a cressida too.

potential mk3 driver here, first post on this board.

i'm 29 now, but i've idolized the *A70 since i was in high school (graduated in '96). when i was a senior there was one of the "white option" turbo supras for sale near me and i pleaded unsuccessfully with my father to get that as my first car. since i was on his insurance, he nixed it and i wound up in an '84 celica gt instead. not fast by anyone's definition, but it was still fun. especially in the wet.

had an '02 WRX as my last car, got rid of it before i went into army training for 9 months, now i'm looking for something not involving payments and with what i've got to play with, i can pay cash for a decent mk3 and still have money to mess with it.

the car i'm looking at is an '89 non-turbo sport (targa, tems, LSD, etc).

given that i've loved the 2 240sx's (s14 and then s13 coupe) and the e30 bmw 325is i drove over the past 5 years, i'm pretty sure i'm gonna love supra ownership (once i pull 200 to 300 pounds of unnecessary weight outa the car, anyway).

nice to meet you all. looking forward to learning more about these cars.

(and no, "dk" does not stand for "drift king", i was using it as a musician's handle back in 2001 before that godawful movie ever came out. it referred to the "decay" effect on my sampler.)

54 and loving it
 

We're 54. We bought the 1990 when we were 37.

As bikers, skiiers and other speed freak hobbies, we love the thrill our car gives us on the open road with the turbo howling. 190 kph was the fastest she'd let me take her - lucky thing too, a cop was turning onto the hwy about a mile up the road. I hit the brakes, downshifted, put on the R signal and turned into where he was turning out.

He either gave us a break or was none the wiser.

The Supra is indifferent to the age of it's owner :)

DJ and BJ in Canada

Bought my 1988 in Nov. 1987. I was 29 at the time.
Just turned 70k miles a few months back.
Stock until about 1 year ago. Now slowly adding mods for road racing but keeping as much original and look as possible.
Tein flex, turbo upgrade, intake and exhaust, boost controller, fuel cut defencer, 550cc injectors, TOYO RA1's...maybe a few other things?
Still want more speed, just need more time and money.

Im 21 22 in april.

bought the car when i was 16. i am now 17. i basically bought the car for myself on my 17th birthday. haha.

23, I bought my first supra when I was 21. I had a 1987 Toyota Supra N/A. Now I just bought this month a 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with TEMS.
This new supra is awesome but you can never replace that feeling of driving your first supra for the first time.

i'm only 22 but i had rx-7s and civics and all that kinda stuff before so i'm no new to "sports" cars

Older than dirt?
 

DANG....I knew I was old, but didn't think I would qualify as the oldest driver! I am 67 and have been driving my factory 1988 MKIII with automatic for the past 18 years. I bought it when it was 2 years old in mint condition with 30K miles and paid $12K back then. It now has 127K miles and is still in pretty much mint condition in my garage. It is the best engineered car I have ever owned or driven!

I'm not the oldest! :dance:

55 here and on my second Supra (89 N/A - White). I bought it from my son and have been taking my time getting it running (JDM Engine and Trans December 2006). I started driving last month (jan 08) only to discover that it has a BHG. So I'll be fixing that for the next little while. :rolleyes:

im 17 and will be picking up my very first supra on sunday:dance:

40.... but 38 when I got it

33 And it is my first Supra. Had it for a week.

Lets make it easy.

We are all. Older than our cars.

35, first time owner of a 89 Turbo Targa, but not new to the Toyota family. I also have a blown Tacoma S-Runner that is currently faster than the Supra.

relatively true, pretty much 95% of us are older than our cars.

16, got a 89, having problems with it tho

Fix it. Drive it.

22 now got the car when i was 21.

First car i ever owned.

16, first car :D

Feelin old here....39 with 40 just 150mph around the corner!

17 here turning 18 april 6
86 1/2 na auto.... :(
but in love wit her

89 Turbo Targa, bought it used in 96, when we were still 30-something. Now we are 40-something (too old to remember exactly) and just rebuilt it from the ground up. We're working on pics.

Do a metal HG with ARP head bolts torqued to the ARP specs which is around 80 lb/ft if I'm not mistaken. If you do it yourself, take your time and use the big official shop manual (tsrm). You could (if you're not driving hard and it's a non-turbo) use a stock gasket but use the ARP's with the higher torque. Toyotas original torgue of about 45 lb/ft is not enough.

Check this link...http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...-w-pics-2.html

If you find a mechanic you trust (good luck) it may cost about $1,500.00. BE SURE TO CHANGE the EGR cooler gasket and check/machine straight. (Don't know if non-turbos have this) This gasket DOES NOT come with the gasket kit...so order it seperate...DO IT NOW AS YOU CAN'T GET TO IT WITHOUT REMOVING THE HEAD...

I am old.

My 19 year old son begs me for my 1988 Turbo. (I am the original owner, 71k original miles.) I tell my 19 year old no way Jose. Finish college (that I am paying for) then get a job and buy your own.

BUT...I just offered it to my 15 year old if he earns a full college scholarship in the next 2 1/2 years.
