I love MKII styling. When I had my 85 Celica GT-S, which was basically a Supra from the doors back, it turned way more heads than my supra. I almost bought an MKII before my MKIII. After driving the Celica for a while I wanted a different interior and MKII's have the exact same as a Celica. Besides that, staring at my 89 head on, it just looks like a mean bitch, even though she's just a bitch. I'm working on the meanness.:naughty:
Few reasons:
1. Its sexy as fuck.. I belive it to be the best looking supra ever. If anyone wants to dissagree, thats fine. But you are wrong.
2. Cheap as poop.
3. Telling people you have a supra, they see it and get all dissapointed, then you take them for a ride and they crap themselves.............. Priceless.

Why do you like the SC? and the dandelion 1j? It is a matter of opinion the way I see it and that everyone has a different taste. I could have bought more than 1 MKIV with the cash I have in to my Supra but I really like the MKIII body styling. Not all Supra turbos look like catfish you know
1-3 grand for an MKIII LOL..Yeah right..must be a POS for that price. A GOOD shape MKIII would go generally for 8-12K here.
7M is a great engine. I have been upping he HP over the past years and am still climbing
Great torquey engine unlike the 1J too Duane
I was going to get a Stealth TT. But then I read up and saw that simple maintenance on those cars (and Z32s, which I also like) is a whole lot tougher than ours.
I just liked how it looked.

i love the Z32's if i EVER sold my mkiii i would get a Z32 300ZX but its pricey. 2x WG's 2x Turbos, 2x mani's. just expensive

Well I was thinking US funds to be honest but still..A good one is not cheap.
Since I am in the US of eh! all the time, I always think American..:biglaugh:

Because I like being able to tell everyone that I own a TT Supra. It just sounds fast even though it really isnt all that fast. Plus mine handles way better then those Honda's I used to drive. God I love RWD and LSD's!!.....
I don't understand the point of this thread.
You come on a MK3 specific forum, and in a condescending fashion, ask why we like these cars.
Duane is right, not all Supras look like catfish.
Not to mention you don't have to spend all that much to make 300whp on a 7M...

Why wouldn't I ask? I would hope it's a very easy question, since this is a MKIII forum :naughty:
People get hostile here when you own a car thats worth 3x the bluebook of their own car, Its Okay Ric
I don't understand why you're here if you don't like MKIIIs, other than being banned from SF, but that still doesn't explain why you're on a dedicated MKIII site. Unless you're here just to talk shit, which is probably the real answer.
I got mine because I like the way they look when modded right and it's a good all around car, does everything I want it to.

I'm here for some good chats with fellow toyota lovers and to learn and share what I know about the 1JZ-GTE engine. The MKIII being a very popular 1JZ swap and testbed for new parts, It's only natural that I visit here since my sponsor is a major company that develops alot of MKIII 1JZ parts.
And to answer your question, I do like MKIII's, especially with a z20 front end conversion (and a jz or g swap). If i still lived the single life, you'd see one in my driveway next week.
To get defensive to a question of simply why do you like your car... makes me think that maybe you dont?
Ok maybe 10% of the reason is.. Turbo SC300 owners have no where to go. It's a car that shares its platform with the MKIII and MKIV, but the only lexus forums there is, club lexus, all they care about is how many LCD screens they can fit in their dash. If i wanted to talk about the engine and tranny of my car, I have to talk to MKIII owners, and If i wanted suspension or brake help, I have to talk to MKIV owners. Its a pain in the butt.

I didn't fall in love with an older MKIII Supra, I fell in love with a brand new MKIII Supra, back when you were probably still in diapers. I just couldn't afford one back then but swore that I would one day own one. Seeing one back then was like seeing a Porsche or a Ferrari, they were pretty exotic for their day. I have never had that same desire to own a MKIV Supra.Ric said:
