Things you need to worrie about from most improtant to less important

- The Hedagasket
- inspect the brakes and the brake lines
- if it is a turbo inspect the targa top seals
- test the interior features like the power seats, PW windows, PW locks,
- inspect the under body for rust or and other problems

The most common problems are

- The hg blowing
- The heater valve VSV not working
- fan shroud is missing
- under the car the engine shroud is missing
- leaky exhaust due to old gaskets
- Hood struts not working
- leather seats crack
- a few more but I will list more when it comes to mind.

Here are some pictures of my 87 Turbo Supra that I just bought about 1 week ago. I had paid $1200 for it.

gee not a bad price! did it have any of those problems u mentioned above? looks pretty well taken car of. i like the mkIII in that colour too for some reason.
does it feel heavy to drive?

yeah thats a nice car, and good price. my car has no mods, im runnin stock which i think is around 200hp. Yeah it does feel real heavy to drive.... well cause it is heavy, but not to bad i guess. doesnt change the fact that i love the hell out of it

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

..

vixen_1505 · 07-09-2007, 03:34 AM

yeh thats basically what i want to do, have either a white or black supra, manual, rebuild it and make it my own. it would be a great first car and i know i would just enjoy the hell out of it!
what engine does it normally come with? do some come with a 1jz?

vixen_1505 · 07-09-2007, 03:38 AM

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.

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 ......

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?
