you know whats sad, theres a chick up the road from me thats has just bought a white mkIII for her first car and she is totally treating it like shit, she has managed to already crack the front bumper REALLY badly, she has stuck it back together with some duck tap, and she just throws the car around and i just feel really sorry for it! i hate people who missuse supras.

not in the united states. you can probably find them there in australia, def in asia, canada im sure, but here in the states they came with the 7mge and 7mgte.

vixen_1505 · 07-09-2007, 03:46 AM

yeh i think we have a few that have a 1jz, but im not sure. if i was to convert to another engine do you reckon the mkIII would fit a 1jz, if i didnt have one with it already?
what engine has your car got?

fulljapan · 07-09-2007, 03:49 AM

North american model (in mk3s) mostly come with 7M-GTE(3.0L turbo) or the 7M-GE (3.0L N/A) ... the 1G-GTE(2.0l turbo) and 1jz( 2.5 TT) are the motors that were only produced in japan but many people import them ......

vixen_1505 · 07-09-2007, 03:51 AM

oh ok.. so would you say australia imported their supras? god im dumb! duh how else would we get them! sorry just talking to myself then. sometimes i just ask stupid questions!

dannydavi · 07-09-2007, 04:06 AM

well the 1jz is common amongst the soarers in australia, so im sure if you wanted to do a swap for it later you wouldnt have to hard a time finding something, and yeah many people have done the swap before so it def does fit with some mods im sure, kwnate on this site has done it, might want to check out some of his posts.

I just cant wait to get a white turbo with manual transmission, then i can start a build

all in all i think these cars are great and anyone would be wise to pick one up, just look out for those price fixer uppers. i got mine with 89k miles on it and so far have put around 18k on it with in like 10 months and it hasnt acted up once, besides like a broken/cracked hose that was easy to spot and replace

..

200hp is pretty good for a stock, have you tuned it to perform better?
how long does your car take get to from 0-100?
what engines in your supra?

I don't know if its been said yet but watch out for the head gasket on 7M's.

Here's some pics of my white 7MGTE 5 speed.

I've put $1000's of dollars into this piece. I paid $2500 for it 2 years ago. And I might be ordering coilovers this week.
