7M-Brisbane Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: November 2002	Re: Buying a MKIII Supra Sun, 23 March 2003 08:46 I own a Mk3, so know a few of the problems. As you know they are prone to blowing head gaskets - check the condition of the cooling system, under the oil and radiator caps for white-looking goo. Check that it idles smoothly and that it doesn't stutter when you accelerate. Other ears of convern are that they can rust in the spare tyre well (pull it out and look!), around the hatch, under the rubber seal around the inside of the hatch (ie. on the body - again remove it and look under it!), and sometimes under the bolt holes for the rear spoiler. Aside from that there aren't any other inherent problems apart from the power steering system - check that the rack doesn't leak and check that the pump isn't noisy or leaky. Beyond these issues they are an AWESOME car, if you can get one in good condition you'll be rapt. Where are you located? If you're located up here and looking to go for a drive in onein a few weeks time (I stress strongly that you TAKE YOUR TIME before making a decision), then I can probably take you for a drive in mine to show you what they go like with a few mods.
