Any Gen 3 Supra Owners here?, Questions before I consider a choice Options

[HaysoosKreesto]

There is a man who has owned his 1990 Supra since 1990 selling his car on CL http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5168210870.html

So because of this opportunity to own a car such as this, I would like to ask anyone who had prior ownership experience some basic questions: Would you buy again? What did you like/dislike about it? Has the head gasket issue worried you?

Then all the MKIV nut swingers will just tell you to get a MKIV and to not waste your time with the crappy pig MKIII. Look into the SC300/400 as well, as the MKIV Supra was more or less the liftback version of the Soarer/SC. Can use all of the suspension and coilovers for the MKIV on a SC and etc... Between swapping in Supra seats, redoing the exhaust, and replacing the rims there's a lot of weight to lose off the SC without effecting the comfort severely. Between that and chunking the full size spare you've lost 150-200 pounds.

Lolz square stfu. Supramania is 95% mkiii owners, and Supraforums is about 75% MKIV and 25% MKIII. Supramania is great for overall MKIII info however the crowd that is on there now doesn't have ANYWHERE close to the amount of knowledge that was there 5-7 years ago(Hmm, sort of like another forum I know?).



MKIII Supras are great project and weekend cars only. Period. I have had four of these cars and I daily drove one for about a year but was forced to sell it because it was a damn money pit(The others I sold because they were hardtop or too beat). This current car is a metallic blue clean title 1991 Turbo 5 speed and has a fully rebuilt engine, new turbo, <100k trans, and about every option you could have on a 1991 and I still have issues with it. That being said I bought the car for a grand and have probably $2 or 3k into it as of now. These cars are too old to rely on for a daily basis. Don't expect to buy one and have a reliable fast car for a cheap price, it wont happen.

The problem with 95% of MKIIIs is the owner, not the car.


Also make sure to ALWAYS have one of these on the stand so when(no if) the 7m blows you can still drive the car
