25 here, and addicted to fun.

i am 17 and from the bay area in nor cal! and i am about to buy my first mk3 next weekend! i just totaled my 240sx(DOHC) =[ such a good car.

but you have to loose something good to get something better


right??

hello
 

hello i am now 34 when i buy her was 29

24 almost 25 I have a 91 turbo sweet car if I do say so myself. Need to wash it though....

88 saga
 

im 26 88t targa. mmmmmm

Im 16 with a MKIII 87T Manual for my first car.

The only thing that isnt stock is the amount of pressure from the turbo... Its push 5 extra lbs 13 altogether... This car is awsome.


To all parents and future parents dont let your kids first car have over 250HP... let a car like this be their second car.... all im going to say is I'v had a few close calls and maybe its just me but i think most 16 yr old drivers think they can handle any thing.. but then again maybe its just me.

Im 43 and driveing it like im still 18

I'm 2o and on my 4th car already (87 supra n/a). Myfirst car (90 Buick Lesabre) blew 2 engineshttp://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...cons/icon8.gif, 2nd car (89 accord, still have it) needs a carb and exhausthttp://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ons/icon13.gif, and my 3rd car (96 integra gsr) was stolen 2 weeks after I got ithttp://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...cons/icon9.gif. Hopefully I'll have the Supra for a while http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ons/icon10.gif.

19 here. so whats the average? i think it may be lower because i dont think older generations are on the computers on the forums.. no offence or anything :rofl:

I'm the original owner of my 1988 Turbo Supra. Started using computers 8 years before I bought it. Still go faster than young boys in new cars.

My 19 and 16 year old sons beg me to drive it. Once they graduate college they may get a chance.

My 2 favorite sayings are:

If you didn't know what year you were born how old would you be?

and...

If you have NO FEAR...you're not driving fast enough!

37... got a 88na targa 5spd as a second car to play and work on. love it.

I"ll be 20 in August

Does it go fast or just look fast?

Full ground affects and flames looks like it's ready for Le Man.

26, it took me this long to finally get my hands on one. lol

don't let go

im 16. 88 NA Targa 5 speed.

im 23.. and this is my 1st supra but wont be my last.. i plan on gettin a mk4..

Im only 19.

im 18 love the thing :)

1990 MK3 Turbo Targa
 

Work in progress lol. 17

just turned 21 in july. first supra. lovin drivin it everywhere.
..still got a lot of work ahead of me tho.

need driver rear side window + moldings
rear window moldings

windshield - both wipers
antilock light is on - still havent figured out why... :dunno:
check engine light is on - did diag - code 52

coolant is coming out of the over-flow spew.. so from what i read on the forums im guessing a BHG:eek3:

needs new rims and tires. [ current rims are bent up - front rims are bent up i know the rear driverside rim is grinded all over the edge - not sure if i should keep them or replace them - what you guys think? ]
as far as the tires. the tires are in pretty good condition except for the rear passengerside is going bald.. :weak:

stock spoiler on passenger side the fiberglass thats supposed to be attatched to the trunk is broken

figure out why the rear wiper isnt working - replace the rear-wiper
figure out why the rear window washer spray isnt going

i think i have a power steering leak

so far for now i that i know needs to be worked on..

Sounds like a project. Depending on your time and money...
Best would be a full top-end (at least) rebuild to include a metal head gasket and ARP bolts torqued to the ARP values. If you rebuild the top replace all belts and hoses while you're at it. When the head is off, REPLACE THE EGR GASKET AFTER GRINDING BOTH SURFACES TRUE. So start with the engine and finish with paint, wheels and tires.

If money and time ARE a concern (like with most of us) I would figure out the overheating first. If you're not sure, take it to a mechanic. DON'T suggest BHG to him because he will just agree for the money. It may be radiator, heater plug, or a few other things. Once you get the overheating under control you can tinker with whatever you like in whatever order. I always say fix mechanical first, cosmetic last. BUT...tires are important and you can get a pretty nice set of wheels and tires from Tire Rack online for a good price...just to get you by until you're ready for the track. Don't go bigger than 17" until you know what you're doing.

Why? ?

17" seem to fit well with no homework. Going bigger takes proper thought and suspension unless you're only interested in the bling and don't care about performance, ride, or rubbing fender wells.

I'm 16 and I currently own 2 supras:
a 88T that is my daily
and a 88 N/A that is my parts car

Just about to turn 33, and I finally got mine. Been waiting since 10 years old, just never found the right one until now. -87 turbo targa

Kuanos, great looking Supra. Looks VERY clean. Got any interior/engine bay pics? Would like to see the rest of that car

Sure, Wilson. I'll post a few more. I've only had it a few days and already have a couple issues. Got some good experience? Let me now if you're up for some helpful troubleshooting. Thanks.

Dang, that is nice... Hopefully I'll get mine that clean some day...

Troubleshooting is what the forum's for, so when you got the time start a new thread with the problem so we can help.

now i understand
 

no wonder i can't keep up to you folks with your 87's. i'm 63 and retired and i just bought my supra last week. it has 60,000 original miles, carfax, and dealers maintenance. for $4200 i thought it was a good price. body perfect, paint beautiful and everything works.:rofl:

Both my cars have 18's, I did little homework and they fit fine with no rubbing issues. Did I mention they perform well and don't rub?

18x9 in front, 18x10 in the rear.

im 17 will be 18 in november, just bought an 87 turbo and love it so far, needs alot of work tho, has quite a few miles. Prolly do an engine swap eventually

thats funny Im 20 just bought my 90 turbo last month... :-p love it

I am 18 years old
 

sounds like a lot of us kids like supras. 1986.5 hard targa top.

im 21 mk3 n/a about to rebuild and turbo charge it...thats why i just joined this forum :D

Im 28 and have an 86.5 NA WIP

18 :d
 

I just turned 18, and got my supra last week :) Engine is half apart atm replacing the headgasket :P

got u beat
 

i am 63 and just bought my 87. i live in hot springs, ark. my only other fast wheels was my 1967 ss chevelle.:nuts:

I am 50 . on my 3rd MKIII, 1st 88 n/a 2nd 90 n/a 3rd 88T

My bad...I'm sure those 18's work fine for most street driving. I have 17's with TEIN flex coilovers on the stiffest setting and on track and under heavy breaking from about 130 mph into tight 70 mph turns they can rub the inside fenders on the front.

Did I mention for normal street driving they don't rub? But they're just 17's.

I have seen 1 or 2 Supra's with 18's and damaged fenders so I still say be careful going to 18's...unless you drive like a pussy.
