Finally a Supra

[WhiteAccord]

Finally picked up my first Supra. Its a 1990 MK3 Turbo 5spd.

It has a rebuilt motor by Toyota with less than 45k on the motor. Previous owner had it for 11 years, and was bought by someone in the family.

The car drives amazing, prob one of the best cars I have own.

Pics. Maybe a build thred soon :yes:

I would love to have one of these myself, it's just too hard to find one in respectable condition. Looks like you found a nice one :goodjob:

[Franco Tirador]

this is a good'em 4 sho, and it's in good hands

congrats

Awesome man. I have an 89'. People give them a lot of shit for the headgasket deal but they are seriously fun and comfortable rides.

Targa?

Yeah, after doing a lot of research it just comes down to torquing the head to the correct specs. And yes its a Targa.

Maybe we can get a meet going. Maybe an all Supra meet.... I know there are a couple guys around town.

This is the problem I see in a lot of the ones I've looked at. It really makes me question getting one. But since the OP's was rebuilt he should be good to go!

Yeah man I'd be down. I'm still a few months before mine is completely road worthy. Just moved back down from NY so I don't have a lot of money to play with or a place to work on it at the moment. We used to do the meets back in the day and run like 6 mk3s deep.

Yeah you know the biggest issue is that people don't understand that this is a 20 year old turbo car which has most likely gotten the shit kicked out of it for that amount of time before you bought it (but the headgasket deal is also definitely a real issue from the factory).

This is my car's history simplified... bought -> blown headgasket -> Ran great -> spun rod bearing -> went 2j.

I actually built another 7m before the 2j but wasn't particularly happy with the machine shop's work.

[MistaCee]

Very clean! What are your plans?

[WhiteAccord]

Daily till the motor goes. I was hoping to catch a weekend at one of drag strips, but they are all done.

Over the winter im going to be building a 2jzgte Motor with small single first :D

[WhiteAccord]

Gotcha. I assume you get on at least supramania.com? Shit ton of info about the swap.

[WhiteAccord]

Yah man. SM.com SF.com CL.com anything that has to do with JZ related. Im pretty much tied into it.

Swap should be easy enough though.

[carbongs]

nice I just picked up an 89 myself :)

[green91]

Congrats on the find, ive looked at several over the years and they are usually in terrible condition or blown up.

[WhiteAccord]

nice I just picked up an 89 myself :)

Real? Any plans? Lets get a meet going.

[Supraboy87T]

Looks good. If a meet is made someone let me know I might be able to round a few guys up to roll out too.

[Echonova]

I miss my MA71... The wife doesn't though, if I ever pull a Supra in the driveway again she'd kill me.

[FAM0U5]

Supra are the best cars ever produced.

Two things to say to that...

1. That picture is from when we went to stone mountain years back right?
2. Does it run yet?

I feel your pain.

I bought mine during college... One of the happiest days of my life was when I had enough for some MK4 NA wheels. Now I rock the TT's.

[WhiteAccord]

IMPORT FACE-OFF: Reynolds, GA - 2/19/12

Will prob be an early meet up, and roll out to the event. Maybe get some runs in.

[Supraboy87T]

Wish mine would be ready by then. But I'll still roll out.

He said gte and id assume targa because a vast majority of the turbo models produced were.

[raven97990]

Yup- she won't have a mkiv- only downside to her car is the burgandy interior

I know of a good condition 89 body Turbo hardtop that needs a motor, worth bringing back to life-

[green91]

Ah if i were to get into one i definitely want a Targa. Not sure if i can take on another project right now anyway

[Boosting EG]

As long as my Harness comes in on time, I may be able to roll out to that one. It'll be tight though.

[dragoncelica]

I love these supras!

[GlennsEK]

Looks good

If your not able to make this, there are a few of us going up to commerce, on the 2nd.

3 Supra's at the moment. Its an open invitation, who comes doesnt really matter. Just shooting the shit.

Honestly if no one shows up, Ill still go.

[CSquared]

I might show if I can get my exhaust done before then. I'd certainly like to.

[JEY$JDM]

I'll be @ Silver Dollar on the 19th fasho!
