    Just bought a 1987 Turbo with a couple of noises/problems- Advice appreciated!

    Hi there! I just purchased a 1987 Turbo Targa top with 265,00 miles on it ( http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37903 ), and it's doing three things that I may have nailed down, but I thought I'd ask the experts before looking deeper. When driving it home, I noticed it would...

    I finally got one! For Cheap! :D

    I found a posting on Craigslist a few days ago for a 1987 Turbo Targa with 265,000 miles, some minor body damage that "runs good" for $1,700. Skeptical, I talked to the owner over email for a bit, and found that he was given the car for free, and didn't have the time or money to dedicate to...

    I've always loved the MKIII...

    I totally plan to! :D On the contrary, I have way too much hair, and will have to wear a bandanna to prevent hours of brushing every night. ^^;

    Kinda new, about to own a MKIII

    You and me both! Welcome to the forums! I haven't gotten a MKIII yet, but I'm biding my time and saving my money up. :D Also- my roomie here has a 92' Celica Turbo All-track, and has this insane plan to build it up. I want to see him do it, but I have a feeling he'll run out of money...

    pop up sunroof

    This is a very good point. When I was looking to get a Sunroof put onto my RAV4, I did some shopping around and found a specialty shop in Minneapolis, MN- All they did was install sunroofs. They had a pretty solid warantee, too, but their prices were a bit higher. You get what you pay for...

    pop up sunroof

    Let's put an air vent in the sunroof, just for that "three option" affect! :biglaugh:

    Awesome. That's about what I'm looking for as well- I'll be buying mine in the next month or two, if all goes according to plan. Anyway, welcome! :D

    New to the ranks

    Welcome! I just joined up myself- but I don't have my Supra quite yet- still waiting on my tax return. If you don't mind me asking, How much did you end up paying for that beauty, and where did you find it? :)

    I've always loved the MKIII...

    This is exactly the sort of advice I needed to hear. So far, it's been pretty much unanimous that I should be getting a Turbo, and I was leaning that way anyway. I'll do it! :D

    I've always loved the MKIII...

    It's kinda complicated. First off, I put the wrong year in. I did in fact mean 1989-92- I've edited my post accordingly. My reasoning behind this is basically that the 89 and up are a bit more "up to date" so to speak- and a bit better off mechanically. There are other reasons, which I'll...

    I've always loved the MKIII...

    So this would beg the question- should I be weary of high mileage Supras as a result of this defect? What would have to happen to blow that gasket? In any case, some of the things up on Craigs list around here have what we've come to call "Fast and the furious tax" added onto it when the...

    I've always loved the MKIII...

    Most of it! :) This is something I am both afraid of, and look forward to. :D That's what I was noticing when I hit Craig's list! I can't wait to get my tax return. ;) From the specs I've been reading up on, Turbos have a full 30 more BHP- though from what I hear from friends, they tend...

    I've always loved the MKIII...

    Hi there! I'm Solei, and I've been in love with the Supra since I first laid eyes on the Mark II Celica Supra back when I was very young. Back then, I lived in Minnesota, and up until just recently, I've remained in the northern portions of America (Mankato MN, Minneapolis MN, Toronto ON, and...
