Hi there guys. So I have been a member for awhile and decided to introduce myself.I have always loved MKIII supras just never really thought about owning one. SO I joined here to learn more about them. Well my grandpa has an 86 MKIII turbo. Its white with blue interior and has the auto tranny. It has been garage kept and car covered its entire life. They bought it new back in 86 from a dealer. Its always been serviced by toyota dealers and it only has 93,xxx miles. So you can imagine this car is dang clean. Well I he might be giving it to me soon. So If I do get it, you can bet I'll be spending alot more time on here.

Damn 93,000 miles is bad ass too bad its an N/A what are your plans for it if you get it?


EDIT just read you said 86 turbo? in 86 they didn't come turbo you sure its not an 87.

Ya my bad. Its an 87. Thanks for the correction. Well as for plans, i would just like to do bolt-on mods. I don't wanna go crazy with it. I am the kinda guy that truely enjoys a machine. So for me, if it feels good as is then Ill leave it so until it just doesn't satisfiy me anymore. Which could take awile. Lol.

EDIT: Did all MKIII's come in targa?

 

[supradan22]

Nope there's hardtops, and some sun roofs. Make sure the head gasket has been changed and torqued to the correct spec that would be the first thing I'd look into.

Welcome to Supramania and your grandpa is a pimp.

 

[Suprasonic19]

lol @ the n/a comment.

Next thing you know he'll try to go turbo asap and run into problems then eventually go broke. I'm not saying turbos are unreliable, I'm just saying without spending money on maintenance it will catch up to you in the future. Don't make the mistake that many supra owners do and try to do some basic maintenance before you go mod-crazy.

Also, welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay.

Well thanks for the warm welcomes guys. I do plan on treating this car with utmost respect. I finally have a chance to get a practically new car and I don't want to screw it up. So basic maintenance and system checks will all be perfromed before making any mods. And I will get pictures as soon as possible. Its just kinda hard when the car is 300 miles away. Lol.
