My uncle is after a mark3 toyota 3.0i supra, non turbo and is wondering if these vehicles had any common faults. If you has owned one or know someone with one (praising the car or an occured fault) please post a message. It would be well appreciated.

I had a mk3 n/a Supra and now have a mk3 turbo Supra. Bombproof and easy to look after. Not novice drive but all weather cars for experienced owners. Parts not that expensive either, n/a waterpump £120 plus vat.

 

Incidently my n/a was a 1989 and my turbo is a 1991.

 

i've destroyed 3 sets of rear tyres in my 3 months of ownership

lonewolf do you use the same nick in the mkiii BBS? I'm XTT in the Sup BBS

 

dont know about the ownership but they can look sweet

Nice cars, looked at one before I bought my 200sx, but I wanted a more subtle car and it was cheaper so meh.
Personally I dont like any of the bodykits that I see. the car looks nice as standard without a huge(er) wing plonked on the back.
Still want one, but I would be worried about leaving it anywhere.

I have no probs at all leaving my MKIV anywhere, most people have so much more respect for it than my old impreza, its a much better ownership experience! Plus on the motorway cars just pull out of your way!

Here's mine:

 

G3I Alert!!!!

Neil, congratulations on ruining our beautiful thread

 

Hi
I owned a Mk3 turbo manual and the only common problems I encountered was clutch judder and a head gasket problem on no 6 cylinder. I think the head gasket problem is quite common so watch out for it.

Neil, nevermind mate. It's my fault. People think that i really tried to wind you up and got nothing better to do than take part.

 

PS. This thread is not just about MK3 supras. A supra is a supra whether it's a Mk1/mk2/mk3/mk4

Scoob owners don't mind if you have a classic/bugly/fugly, so why should we. This kind of attitude makes SN not a nice place to be despite all the good effort by the mods and the rest of the users.

More fool them then mate eh?

And yeah - I totally agree with you, a Supra is a Supra, regardless of Mk. The Mk2 is a damn cool motor too, considering when it was designed

 

If I find a mk2, i'll defo buy it and add it to my collection of chestwig motors

Gotta take off now Neil, field trip to Halfrauds , tty l8r mate

 

LMAO! No worried bud, Adam Kindness on MKIVSupra.net bought a MK2 on ebay - 2.8l litre version I think, he's game to sell it if anyones interested Up in Scotland though - LOL!

 

That's fine, but that doesn't change the fact that he implied in another supra thread that MK3s are not "real cars", and that myself - a MK3 owner wishes he had a MK4.

Superiority complexes like that is the reason why I don't listen to him and his pollava.

Redkop and any other mods, delete or modify my post if you want to, I made my point and used my right for free speech with facts to support it.

 

Had a mk3 supra for many years with no major probs apart from the usual head gasket..Would recomend one no probs..

 

Your full of crap - I never said that at all. The MK3 supra is a cracking car, as people who actually know me know I think that. You started with the digs in the last thread, so I just came back at you, and it was the others posting that were really getting at you in that way.

Still - nice to see you still have a major chip on your shoulder and complex that you feel the need to keep bringing it up.

Pathetic.
