Ok, Ive searched everywhere and all i can find are online manuals and some haynes ones, Haynes covers mk2 and mk3 so im assuming it isnt that good (it combines two different gens?). Does anyone know where i can buy a real manual for my 89 supra turbo? What are some good ones, I dont want an online manual because i like to have it when im working on my car.

If you want them to keep printing manuals and supporting our cars, you might want to consider buying the manuals rather than ripping off copyrighted material... Just my $.02, ymmv... For those of you with 1/2 an ounce of ethics, here's the info needed:

Call Toyota Customer Services Division Compton, CA, USA

Phone: (800) 622-2033

Hours 7am - 5pm Pacific Standard Time.

Ask for the Toyota Supra Repair Manual (TSRM) for your year Supra.

The number is for Toyota Customer Services Division, which is in charge of distributing the SRM's/owners manuals/body work manuals along with other things. For our cars manuals are still being printed for 90 and newer, but there should be a back stock of all other manuals (this is where your local dealer orders them), so if you can't get it here, it can't be gotten without searching too hard.

Manuals are priced as follows (these are approximate prices at the time of posting (5/2006). Please call for exact pricing):

MKIII Supra $55-60 US

MKIII Supra Electrical $15 US

MKIII Supra Auto Trans $17 US

MKIV Supra $115-130 US

MKIV Supra Electrical $30-65

MKIV Supra Auto Trans $40 US

Owners Manuals $5 US

Collision Repair $10 US

Shipping costs are reasonable and the manual comes within 3-4 days for ground shipping. You can also get any other Toyota vehicle manual from them.

MKII TSRM's are also now being reprinted & are available. If Toyota Customer Services Division is unable to help, then you can also try calling Jeff Watson, he is also able to order the MKII TSRM's. I don't believe the Electrical Wiring Diagrams for the MKII's are available as reprints yet.

Jeff Watson can be reached at 1-800-327-2087

(And yes, I own a TSRM for every Supra I have...)

I bought mine off ebay. They usually go pretty high, but mine slipped through the craks for $11. I can't say that my seller was totally ethical though. It is stamped from where it came from. Maybe that library needed it gone to create room for something else.

Would just like to update this, called toyota today for a manual, the representative told me that for all vehicles pre 2004 a company called helm inc is now in charge of making them. They have an internet site helminc.com hat you can order the manuals.
