'92 owner checking in. Was originally Teal Metallic, but the paint was in such poor shape and the drivers door had a crease, so it's been completely changed (not half assed) to Super Black including under hood, door jambs, trunk, etc.

5 Speed
Sunroof
Shadow Grey Leather

the "Before" pictures...will have during and after as soon as it's finished.

the 92 gray was the same as 90+ blueish grey..

Its a nice looking color, just never have seen it on a 92. For that matter, I've never seen a blue or silver/gray color of any shade on a 92. I guess the production of those colors on a 92 is very rare?

Looks very nice. Your interior looks pefect. I like the teal you had too, but black looks great on a MKIII.

If I had just been patient and saved up some money I'd be an owner of a 92 Supra. But nooooooooooo I had to have one NOW. That's when I bought the grey 89 na w/rodknock. Should've waited, but oh well. I'll make my 86.5 just as nice.

Noticed that there was only ONE hardtop, so damn hard to find HARDTOP TURBO 5SPD MKIII's now days, when I do find a hardtop, its either auto or NA, when I find a turbo, it's either targa or auto, when I find a 5spd, it's either NA or targa *sigh* I'll find her one of these days..

Mine's a hardtop as well. I almost wish i had bought a targa...until i drove one with it for about a month...the squeaks were unbearable...might just be this particular one though. But the sunroof is plenty for me.

mkthree92, i wish my interior was perfect, but the seats have some bolster wear. It pains me to see it every time i open the door. Hopefully they'll be repaired here soon by a guy here in town...

I didn't realize you had a sunroof- nice! That's very good yours is repairable. That's more than many can say. From what I can see, it looks to be better than 99% of the rest stock leathers on here. Mine's cloth which I like and they're in mint condition, except for some piping sticking out on the drivers side seat. :icon_mad: I'm looking to get some nice leather seat covers soon- gray in the middle with black on the outside which should look nice and save the cloth.

Nice find! And it's only a little over $2000 USD. You guys over there in the UK should go check it out.

My car was an automatic, but I changed it to 5 speed. And yes its turbo

This is my new engine, Forged piston, all around arp bolts, Port and Polish, 57trim turbo. And the very good looking powder coating.

This is my second 92 supra, the other one was just like yours.


Im curious how your car runs with the EMS. I hear its a great unit for the 1j, but very few run it or can AFFORD to run it.
