Body looks great...how's the interior? I've always like the white package. 89's wouldn't have had an airbag...90 was the first year for those in the US.

Nice looking ride...wish I had a MKIII when I was 16...had to settle for a 78 Mercury Monarch with 30k miles...what a boat.

Thanks Saw, ZZZ. I plan on using the cover on my garaged car so I may go with a less expensive one.

I need a cover to properly protect my MKIII when not in use. Anyone have any experience with covers of differing grades. I saw some at AZ ranging from $29-69 with warranties up to 10 years. Am I reading too much into this or are they really all about the same. Also any tips on using covers...

I love the 2 tone paint and the sawblades look good too. What did you do to them to make them shine like that?

So I tried to get under my new Supra for the first time today to change the oil and found that I can't get my jack under the front cross member (which is what I do with all my other vehicles). I have used the pinch points in the past with my other vehicles when rotating tires. Are the pinch...

Thanks for the warm welcome. It's not actually my Grandmother...I found it on cars.com. As for plans I will probably just keep it pretty stock for now as it runs and rides like new. I wasn't sure if I would like the leather having always had cloth interior Supra's but it's very nice. Matt

As I just posted on the intro board, I am the proud new owner of a 92 NA. Should I be thinking about re-torquing the head to 80 lbs? With this help or hurt after 17 years and only 72k miles? Thanks Matt

As of today I am back in a Supra after purchasing a 92 NA SR 5-speed Supra Red with leather interior. It was a one owner (Grandma) with all records and only 72k miles on the clock. I couldn't believe the condition. Looking forward to spending some more time in the forum. Matt

Thanks Shaeff...hopefully tomorrow I'll be back in a Supra after a long hiatus. Matt

How do I check to see if a car I am looking to buy has lsd or abs? Tems is obvious to me. Are there any other options to look for on a 92 N/A? The site is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks in advance. Matt

In doing a pre-purchase inspection of a used MKIII supra what are the most critical items to check. Is a compression check the best for telling you the condition of the motor? Will it tell you if you have a BHG? I feel pretty good about my knowledge of most of the car's systems but I do not...

I am looking at a few MKIII cars and need some help determing market value. For example the 1990 N/A Targa 5 speed KKB exellent value is $3700-4200. I know book value is low but how low? What about an 89 Turbo Targa 5 speed in excellent shape with only 60k original miles? Both are in...

isnms/figgie/MKIIINA - thanks for the quick replies. Some great tips...I will keep you posted. Matt

Guys - I've been searching for several hours and come up empty. I know there must be a thread with a list of common issues to check when inspecting a used 7mtge vehicle prior to purchase. I know the BHG is a big issue but can someone please point me in the right direction? I can't wait to get...

GR - I'm in the same boat. Can't seem to find anything other than a wreck for a grand or one someone has already highly modified and wants $8k. Can't wait to find a nice original MKIII. Welcome.

habsfan/MA71 - thanks for advice. Can't wait to find a nice MKIII.

I appreciate the warm welcome...are there any site regulars with an interest in N/A and/or stock vehicles?

My first car was a 1982 Supra 5-spd that was somewhat of a rust bucket and the AC never worked but it never left me stranded commuting from NY to AL for school quarterly. My second car was a black 1986.5 N/A 5-spd with grey cloth that I liked even better but again had no AC and caught some...
