  • Thinking about getting a Supra, looking for advise

    I don't know why it started, but I really like the way the mk3 supras look (86.5-92my). Looking at the prices, they're pretty reasonable right now ($2k-$4k for a turbo). I want to get another car to replace my rx-7 next year, and I'll have a nice amount of money when I get back from vegas. I was thinking about looking into maybe an '89 turbo targa, with a 5-speed. So, what do you all think about them? Shane, you have any opinions to help me out here? Thanks :D

      If you do get one, make sure its a turbo. The NA MK III's are dogs. My 3.4 took my buddy's freshly rebuilt one by a good amount of lengths...

Trust me when I say that if I do end up with one, it will be a turbo, with a targa top, and a 5-speed. So, anyone here that have had experiences with these cars?

              I have "heard" that they are pretty unreliable, but this is freind of a friendd type stuff....

              though a freind of mine took one for a test drive and it blew a radiator hose halfway through the test drive.

                    I think all you guys and all your moms are ugly... now anyway

                    Rule of thumb with these cars, always get the Turbo model. If your looking at a Supra, Eclipse, Talon, 300ZX, Stealth, RX-7, or 3000GT. All the non turbo models are slow as ****!

                              That's fine. It seems everyone here feels like everybody else's mothers are some trolls or something like that. Where's Shane? I'm sure he can help out a little bit

                                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
