That's usually the case it seems. Bought a low mileage 91 civic several years ago well cared for so on so forth except it too was an automatic.

[@primusconvoy]

Our 87 is a manual and it's stock, but yeah, that's likely because it was a one owner car owned by a lady who was a teacher. It's not quite as clean as this one, but other than the transmission and fixed roof, it's pretty near identical to ours. Ours is probably about a 7.5 out of 10. Front bumper is dull and there is some fading on the outer seat bolsters.

[@griffins750]

True although the auto is actually considered to be really good in the mk3 because of how it works with the torque curve of the engine, hell even Hagerty mentioned it when they reviewed the Mk3...

You have amazing timing because I just picked up an 88' NA Supra a few days ago! It's also in pretty incredible shape like this and the interior impresses the hell out of me. Never owned a vehicle before that got so much attention and praise. It's certainly not particularly fast, but IMO it's one of the absolute best looking cars on the road, I cannot get enough of it.

What wasn't mentioned in the video is that this Supra is equipped with TEMS (Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension). It allows the driver to select between a softer ride for everyday driving or a stiffer more sporty ride when you're feeling peppy. Some people don't like it and think it's an unnecessary feature that can be rather costly to replace but I enjoyed the feature on my '86 1/2 Supra, my '88 didn't have it and it was missed.

[@mowowie]

TEMS was good and really worked, Went to high when you either punched the gas or hit the brakes hard. I actually replaced those shocks back it the day when i was young. Not a fun job...and cost a lot for the parts. Made a HUGE difference though..

My mother bought a brand new 1986.5 Supra in candy apple red with candy apple cloth interior not long after becoming an RN. She'd previously had a 69 Firebird and 66 Mustang fastback. Great car but it could never track straight on the road no matter how much money was thrown at it. Always pulled. But some of the best/most comfortable sport seats ever put in a car. Those are real Recaros with terrific power side bolsters and lumbar. My mom got sick of not being able to go anywhere in the winter (snow) with it and sold it in 1995 for a Land Rover Discovery SE7.

I've just inherited a very early production mark 3 NA supra from my grandfather (July of 1986). He had it for a few years but it eventually became a non-running project. I eventually singled out the starter motor as the issue and spent far too long removing it from the car. The brushes inside were so mangled that no contact to the plunger was being made. One 15 dollar repair kit off EBay later (and some new intake gaskets) and it starts and runs. He passed a few days before I was able to get it to crank again. I spent a lot of time with him in his last weeks while I worked on it. These cars are incredibly important to me. I know this video is a few years old at this point but thank you for bringing some positive attention to them. Aside from a few quirks, these cars are wonderful to work on and gorgeous to boot. Props to the owner for taking such good care of their vehicle.

@@tommoon2700 Yes! Legit a challenge to get a new flywheel! since that 1st comment i've only recently receved the correct flywheel for the 7m to W58 trans....lol smh

[@XwarpfactorX]

Had a 1988 6 spd N/A out of high school. Learned to drive manual with that car, and absolutely loved it and wished I still had it.

[@thechet]

I had one of these in high school. Spent the summer restoring it with pops then a year later a psycho ex gf rammed into it at 40mph.

[@terryleebo]

Spending more time with the car than the girl? Quite the low blow she took.

[@BertReno]

Some women are wired wrong. Too bad you can't swap out the CPU.

[@MrKillswitch88]

And this is why so many men under 40 are not playing the dating game anymore due to all the damage goods in their late 20s and to mid 30s that have more issues than a cheap long neglected BMW. When they are that crazy and not even out of high school yet chances are someone will eventually turn up dead someday.

[@nexusyang4832]

Doh!!!!!!!

[@woodwaker1]

At least she is an ex.

[@suffolkngood]

Had one one for 10 years. Similar mileage ,same condition. If it has been sitting, also inspect and replace coolant hoses. They let go without warning, even if they look great from the outside ;)

[@basshnter1997]

Replace the head bolts,studs with ARP and torque to higher spec and never have another issue. I had the 7mge powered Cressida.

[@praiseyah4ever1]

Sounds about right

[@oldb-1kenobi]

I have owned 2...an '86 1/2 and a '88. Small issue with the head gaskets on both but it was covered by factory recall. Great cars, loved them both and wish I had never let them go. These cars were truly "paradise by the dashboard light"...I had that custom etched on the back side glasses on the 86 1/2.

[@mowowie]

There was a factory recall? Apparently Toyota never contacted me about that..

[@naf2579]

That thing was a beast in Grand Turismo 1. Crazy body roll.

[@godzilla12325]

I am sure i have read somewhere that toyota had issues with this engine, headgasket troubles or something (was a while ago i read this) and thats what lead to them overbuilding the 2jz as they wanted to up thier game, which i think we can agree they done. I knew of folk running close to a 1000 bhp on stock internals. Beast of an engine.

[@s_class7027]

I got pulled for having a knight rider light on one

[@Beer_Dad1975]

You are spot on there - this car was a competitor to cars like the Trans-Am, not Porsche as the Wizard suggests - which was on a whole other pricing tier.

[@davidmock9040]

Glad I bought mine when I did. Prices will continue to increase with videos like this. Hopefully rare parts availability will increase as desirability increases. Love my JZA70 R.

[@jamesandersen9024]

I just watched car issues for the first time and saw the wizard with hair LOL

[@donaldw6049]

Yeah, was a Wonderful Surprise. Guess that’s where it All started. Great to see how far the Weeeeezard has come 👍🏼

[@jy5960]

can you plz link us?

[@RysterARCEE]

Have also been watching Car Issues on TV and it is so good. Wizard's appearances on every episode are the best part.

[@samsherwen6912]

Nice to see such a clean MK3 - I have had a 1990 UK car on the drive for a year - needs some TLC after 32 salty winters. It is an 7M-GE NA 5-speed hardtop, no engine mods. Plan to bring it back from the brink, and this video is a great reference on how it should be. I also previously owned an auto 1G-GTE Twin Turbo, targa top - a bit too much lag and not enough torque on the 2 litre for the wieght of the car, but great for a top down cruise.

[@gregdesena4207]

Definitely my favorite Supra ever.

[@Mike_Costello]

That interior has so many components from my 1985 Toyota Celica front wheel drive twin-cam. Same colours, same seats and materials. Gorgeous!!.

[@toolzshed]

How do ppl like Jared remember all those car engine facts? 😲

[@foadrightnow5725]

I had a 1987 dark blue on blue non-turbo example. I absolutely loved it! My ex four times removed ended up crashing it into a school playground. The fencing surrounding the playground was untouched. She somehow bounded over the 6 foot tall fence and landed about 10 feet shy of a play structure. Luckily, the accident happened in late PM, so no children(or anyone, for that matter) were present. True story!

[@djpollo2474]

This was my first car, a 1988 toyota supra sold it like a year ago or two... and I miss it, all because I didn't want to put in the work...

[@1ocean515]

great to see a vehicle that is well maintained and loved. Engine looks great - not overly detailed, but clean. 👍

[@Doctor_Jekyll]

I support having more Jared, Bug Ninja, Junior Mint, Chinchilla and Magic Mike on this channel.

[@jeandibb4111]

Loved Mrs Wizard’s input. She did well - more please. Thanks. Martin

[@rsprockets7846]

Ohhh more Vanna Ms wizard doing a voice over of the interior virtues!!!!!

[@neonreign2988]

Really cool video and collaboration with Jared. I love Toyota. The Mk3 is still a really cool generation for the Supra.

Ah cool, you don't see a lot clean c4 Corvettes

Blessings Isiah 30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him./inspiration+ Not everything in the book of Isaiah is as encouraging as this passage. Much of this book is an admonition to people who have failed a Holy God. Some of us can remember our parents telling us as children, right before they punished us, "This hurts me more than it hurts you." At the time, we cannot believe that is true. But when we become parents and we have to punish the wrong behavior of our children, we understand exactly what they meant. A parent’s desire is to love his child, not to punish. In this passage, we see the true nature of God. We see His heart’s desire. He longs to be compassionate and gracious to us. More than anything, He wants to shower us with His love. But just as a parent also has the responsibility to discipline, so does God. He is also a God of Justice, and therefore, He must "wait" to show compassion./prayer+ Father, I know that You are a God of Compassion and Grace. I realize that You long to shower me with blessings. But I also know that You must discipline me when I am wrong. I may not like it, but I understand and appreciate it. I would rather be disciplined by a loving God than punished by a just God. Guide me with the love that You have for me. Help me to do Your will in all things. Amen.

[@paulgamble7548]

Hi Wizard. I had the very last 1993 Mk3 Turbo registered in the UK. Was Gun Metal Grey. In the UK the Turbo always came without options - full black leather, CD tuner, climate control. It was also a 5 speed manual. I had from 2 1/2 years old until 6 and then my Dad took it on until it was 15 years old. It was still largely mint (60k miles at that point) with it's original stainless exhaust. They were actually the Toyota rally car before the Celica GT4 and whilst it's size as a mid size GT might not seem right for rally, it wasn't much bigger than the Audi Quattro of the time. Because of that motor sports link, they were massive over engineered which is why people rarely had issues. My head gasket was replaced for a reinforced one early on (not because of failure - but as you mate said, the originals were known to be weak). They only other issue I had was the need to change the valve stem oil seals on one occasion. Unlike the Mk2 Celica Supra 2.8 (I took my Dad's as a 2nd car when he took the Mk3 from me), it had an interference engine and as it had a belt, it was essential to change that at the correct interval to avoid a complete engine replacement or rebuild. Up until my first 981s Boxster (I'm now in a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0), it was by far and away my favourite car. I replaced it with a new E36 328 Sport which I found very underwhelming from the driving experience (contrary to the marketing) and from the quality of build. The Supra was big and heavy, but the materials were superb inc the thick pile carpet. Very find memories. Paul

[@SamSneed001]

There's the source of the vibration, the drive shaft, not the tires.

[@paulking54]

Thanks WIZARD!!! Someone i knew had one of these lovely supra's in the early 90's and it looked just like the one in your yard. The mk3 Supra, 280zx, 300zx fairady are classic Icons.

[@bikeman1x11]

dreamt of that in the 80's loved my daytona but that was awesome and the starion /conquest was a close 2nd

[@erikt211]

I had a red 1989 Supra turbo targa with gray leather interior, I loved everything about that car and I’ve owned many

[@MrCarGuy]

17:17 Nope, those are new brake hoses made by Sunsong. They skimped and put Chinese hoses on it. I'd ditch them.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Do parts like this not have to pass domestic standards testing in the USA? Here you can't (legally) buy things like brake lines unless they are approved by the government testing agency - so even the cheapest parts are going to meet minimum safety requirements. If you fit parts that aren't approved, you can have your car defected and you'll end up walking home.

[@thomasmcculloch6058]

Was my first car at 15 with a blown head gasket, finally got it fixed after working and saving and the imported head blew again after 20k miles 5 months after the shop warranty expired, the shop that sold it never torqued the bolts to the corrected spec I suppose. Was a fun 5 years at the very least, felt like a boat though and was horrible with even a little snow, but the louvers I was able to get made it worth it in my mind. 7m was a very love-hate engine, I hope I get to experience a LS or a J eventually in one of these myself.

[@malachilatroy]

Still have it?

[@abolishwelfare]

Nothing screams 80’s and 90’s like a velour interior.

[@CSmith-gb1sl]

& they were comfy too, I had the herringbone fabric in my Camry, wore like Iron, & still looked like new when the vehicle succumbed to rust.

[@TnDAtkinson]

I have an '87 Supra Turbo with the 5-speed manual. It's dark wine red with matching interior. My brother found in it a barn just outside Seattle, eight years ago. It only had 64,000 miles on it at the time and looked like new. I flew out and drove it from the west coast to Northwestern Illinois. The drive through the Rockies was much fun. Absolutely fantastic car.

[@mowowie]

Had the same setup Beautiful..
