Greetings,
I am a toyota freak of a sort....all slow toyota's I might add. (land cruiser 4x4's)
Surfing the net, found this awesome site

just aquired an 88 Supra Targa Turbo, I know nothing about them other than I really wanted toyota DD that had some Ummmmffffff. The car is pretty mint with 115K on the clock.

Can you school me in maintainance and what a original Supra with this amount of miles will need, is was well cared for with reg. interval maintenance done at the dealer.

THx,
R.

first id like to say welcome. the second thing anybody on here would tell you is to change the headgasket because its not a question of if it will go, its when. in addition id like to add that these cars are two decades old so the hoses are old and dryrot so you may want to look into those also. again welcome to the forum
