Reading the current thread about early Supra #389 got me thinking about the last of the MKIII production run. Mine was produced in 6/92 with a VIN 161,869. Seems late in the cycle to me but curious if it really is and how many have later production VINs. Matt

I have a 92 with the power lumbar drivers seat and am trying to replace with an older power seat with manual lumbar. I just realized the plugs are different. However they both have 3 wires black/white, blue, and red. Can I just splice them together? Please help so I can get my car back on...

The system on my 92 is still set up with R12 although it must have a leak because its not working again after recharging last summer. I was lucky enough to find some R12 last summer. With it becoming more scarce is there anywhere I can find it? Is it time to go to R134 or are there...

Any tips on getting the piston compressed. I have always had no problem just using a C-clamp to squeeze it but it is very stuck this time. Could it be seized? Can the piston come out too far and hang up? I'm able to bleed fluid so I'm assuming the brake lines are not plugged (the brakes...

I'm a Noob to this forum but I have never had a problem getting the oil drain plug off until now (on my other cars). The angle of the plug will not allow me to get any leverage on my standard rachet. I have beaten on it with a hammer and still can't get it loose. I had it changed in the last...

I need a cover to properly protect my MKIII when not in use. Anyone have any experience with covers of differing grades. I saw some at AZ ranging from $29-69 with warranties up to 10 years. Am I reading too much into this or are they really all about the same. Also any tips on using covers...

As I just posted on the intro board, I am the proud new owner of a 92 NA. Should I be thinking about re-torquing the head to 80 lbs? With this help or hurt after 17 years and only 72k miles? Thanks Matt

As of today I am back in a Supra after purchasing a 92 NA SR 5-speed Supra Red with leather interior. It was a one owner (Grandma) with all records and only 72k miles on the clock. I couldn't believe the condition. Looking forward to spending some more time in the forum. Matt

How do I check to see if a car I am looking to buy has lsd or abs? Tems is obvious to me. Are there any other options to look for on a 92 N/A? The site is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks in advance. Matt

In doing a pre-purchase inspection of a used MKIII supra what are the most critical items to check. Is a compression check the best for telling you the condition of the motor? Will it tell you if you have a BHG? I feel pretty good about my knowledge of most of the car's systems but I do not...

I am looking at a few MKIII cars and need some help determing market value. For example the 1990 N/A Targa 5 speed KKB exellent value is $3700-4200. I know book value is low but how low? What about an 89 Turbo Targa 5 speed in excellent shape with only 60k original miles? Both are in...

Guys - I've been searching for several hours and come up empty. I know there must be a thread with a list of common issues to check when inspecting a used 7mtge vehicle prior to purchase. I know the BHG is a big issue but can someone please point me in the right direction? I can't wait to get...

My first car was a 1982 Supra 5-spd that was somewhat of a rust bucket and the AC never worked but it never left me stranded commuting from NY to AL for school quarterly. My second car was a black 1986.5 N/A 5-spd with grey cloth that I liked even better but again had no AC and caught some...
