New supra owner here. I was looking in a local car trading magazine for a cheap car decent on gas until I saw an ad for 4 MK3s all for sale by one owner. So me being the car guy I am couldn't pass up a deal, so here I am! I've got 2 87s with the 7M-GE, 1 87 with the 7M-GTE, and an 89 with a 7M-GE. All manual transmission cars. One of the 87 NA is a parts car with the engine locked up. Hopefully the head is still in good condition because the other 87 NA is missing part of the top end. (valve cover, cams, cam bearing caps, etc.) The 89 has a blown head gasket. The 87 turbo isn't too bad off. I replaced the fuel tank and pump because it had about 3/4 in. of really nasty stuff on the bottom and it was pretty rusted up on the inside. So i've got that installed and still can't get it running. It'll run about 100-200 rpm and backfire through the intake a lil when i have the cam sensor turned all the way to the left. So I guess i'll check the timing belt to see if it skipped a tooth or something. Wish me luck guys! And any help is appreciated. I'll need alot of it.
Hey guys

I paid 3k for the whole lot. The cars are all fairly cosmetically sound. All desperately need paint except for the 89 but very few small dents, and no rust that i can see, they just need the interiors redone. Oh..forgot to say in the first post that the turbo and 89 are both targas. As soon as I am able i will upload the pics. I was only looking for one car for my girlfriend until i saw this deal and remembered my sister was also looking for another car. I'm always looking for new cars to play with too so it seemed like a halfway logical answer in my twisted mind. But my sis doesn't want to wait for me to fix it and is going to buy somethin else. So now i'm stuck with all 4. I guess i'll make the turbo my fun car to modify and let my gf have the 89 . I will probably sell the other 2.

Haha yeah I snatched them all out trying to find a good fuel pump to get the turbo going. All of them were rusted and varnished up so i had to buy a new one. Anybody know a good deal on fuel pumps?

Walbro 255 LPH fuel pumps.
Can be found on horsepowerfreaks, titanmotorsports or most of the vendors here.
Right about 100 bucks, and are fantastic pumps!
