Well, I just bought my first car. Of course it had to be a toyota so I thought why not go for the Supra. And so I did. The mk IV was a bit out of my price range, so I had to settle for the mk III. Not that I really call it "settling" seeing as it is a beautiful car.






I plan to do a fair bit to it over the next year or so. Just fixing some problems with it at the moment. (eg injector spraying fuel on the block. )

Let's see, what does it have:

Button Clutch (bit loose at the moment, but that is good as it helps me to get used to it )
Electric Windows
Electric Mirrors
LSD (little bit loose, but only noticible if you really push it to it's limit)
Bilstien Adujstable Coilovers strut brace. Lowered about 30mm
Turbosmart BCV running at about 10psi
500hp Fuel Pump
Borbet 16'' Deep Dish low offset wheels
Re-Torqued head gasket (to 78 i think??)
Polished gearknob (I LOVE this. So nice to hold. )
Alpine Flip Face Stereo (very nice indeed)
JBL speakers
Sansui Amp & MTX Subwoofer in box

NB. Thanks 7M - Brisbane. Beautiful car. Travelled up there last weekend to get it and then drove it back down.

Hey,

Nice Supra, im looking at getting a 86-89 gza70-TT next year but dont know if i can risk 3rd Party Insurance, Howmuch are you paying for insurance and what age?. They have awesome looking gen3 supras in america at the moment they have one with a 7mgt running 750 rwhp thats just crazy. I know about the headgasket problem and that its a bitch if not done properly, thats why i want the TT 1GZgte. Also does the car feel heavy?, i was thinking of getting a 180sx but i want to stick with Toyotas coz i know how tough and reliable they are and supras are more cruisers than lighter sport cars like silviasetc but with 200 to 250rwkw(what i want to acheive with my supra) anything is fast. Hope to see you in the upcoming cruises and meets so we can talk Supras.

I was sceptical also coz i got a mate that goes to my curch, that has a r33 GTR Cost Him 60k and he just now modded it $20,000 upgrade twin-gt3530,tomei-cams,jun-pistons etc etc he got 320rwkw at all four wheels on a dyno at Subzero Performance in brisbane, this car goes so fast it hearts your heart and you cant breath on boost, you can start breathing when he comes off boost, hes had the car upto 270 ks/hr . It goes all over the road in straight line. . When he bought it for 60k it had come straight from a Japanese tuning house so at that stage it was fast but now its a coffin on wheels . BTW, Hes not a P plater with parents money, hes 30yo that builds large apartment buildings, i just hate seeing full show car wrx and supras with P's. Anyway to get that sought of power from stock internal 1jz, i have to see to beleive.

Hey mate,
I have connections with a place that sells all sorts of wheels and tyres, as i always say rims can make or brake a car.

ooooer sounds expensive worth the cost?

Well it usually would be expensive but thanks to our very own Stenno here I bought the 4 shocks for $350 and had them fitted and tested at Pittwater brake and clutch for $162. So not too bad really. Quite a bit higher now but still handles like a dream (if anything better). The Bilsteins were set up for drifting it seems so she is very firm but still ok to drive.


Next comes my full exhaust.
