Mark 2!! I want b o x y

[@Z-Ack]

Now u know the general consensus will be the 4.. it just looks cool but personally id sport anything with a 2j.. damn things are getting few and far between with all the “tuners” turning em up to 11 and warping the crap outta em or putting a nice new bay window up in the side of em. Those motors just wanna go though.. if all somebodies ever driven were big blocks and powerhouse cars and you put em in the passenger seat of a 1800hp turbo 2j and hit that rolling anti lag and pin em against that seat until you hit 200+ in 9 seconds and after you have em clean the shit off the seat, theyll never be the same towards em.. things are so crazy to feel in person,.

MKIII for me. I like the smooth classic lines. It's more GT car than sports car though.

[@chris-do]

At that time, this car was relatively cheap (compared to similar cars) and technically at a high level. The engine had a very good durability. My father had an imported US car with a fixed roof and the 6-cylinder, 7-m engine without turbocharger and 204 hp here in Germany. When I was a child, this was my absolute dream car in the 80s. i remember that the rear tyres were sligthtly wider than the tires on the front side

[@speedkar99]

It sure was ahead of it's time. This was an 87 model and it has many modern features.

[@Questchaun]

Many weekends spent replacing headgaskes on the 7m

[@engineer4hire]

The 90 Turbo came with progressive power steering which made steering wheel less soft on high speed for more stability at high speeds Also side view mirrors are heated Way way ahead of its time

Love these in depth reviews! You explain everything so clearly and understandable. Also cool to see that this vehicle is basically just like a late model in terms of suspension design! Keep up the good work :)

[@speedkar99]

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate my work. To be honest, suspension design has downgraded over the years in the name of economy as driving dynamics have become less important, so this vehicle was ahead of it's time.

[@qnaap]

@@speedkar99 Yes, I see what you mean. Most manufacturers are downgrading their multilink/dual wishbones to a simple torsion beam. Which is fine for some vehicles but on a 30000+ euro/dollar vehicle I don't see why you would.

[@ginggur17]

Damn I miss my 3ltr Turbo. I was about 22yrs old. Loved it.

[@nghty89]

11:46 - not for adjusting headlight aim, it's if the motor fails you can still raise and lower the headlight housings. If you adjust this, turn headlights on and then off and they open/close, it will reset to the original closed position. Great for doing daytime sleepy eyes though!

[@Twobarpsi]

Exactly

[@bru319]

I have the super monitor where the clock is that was available 87-88. You can access engine codes by numbers from there and clear them rather than pulling the EFI fuse. The manual headlight knob only raises and lowers the headlight . It does not adjust the direction of the lamp. The charcoal canister hose connects to a vacuum valve that's now broken on the thermostat housing. The other hose feeds it to the crossover tube and ends up at the throttle body. The vacuum valve opens up when the engine is warm allowing stored gas is to be burned. The oil cooler lines get hard and with age and leak especially near the oil filter. It's good to replace them with generic oil hose and also the power steering hoses as well. Another leaking point is the cam position sensor O-ring. A power steering pump rebuild seal kit is about $13 on eBay. Use a puller to remove the drive pulley, otherwise you could warp the shaft by attempting to pry it off.

[@Twobarpsi]

The Super Monitor was a rare cool option!!

[@ChrisMuncy]

Glad to see the liberal application of petroleum products to prevent the underbody from rusting in those harsh Canadian winters.

[@speedkar99]

Yep gotta keep it rust proofed. As mentioned in the video most of it is actually leaking oil haha

[@rushnerd]

I only have an 88' NA Supra, but I've never loved a car more than her. Mine was near mint even at 115K miles, but yeah they need a lot of work It's more than worth it though. The car is pure fun and luxury while turning heads all the time. Some suspension mods and sway bar upgrades and you got one of the best/most fun cars out there.

[@crazy8sdrums]

I had 2 MK3s. One turbocharged, the other not. I loved both of them! I would love to have another one, but I would swap in a 2jz from the MK4.

That's not the only bit of misinformation in this video but I watched it through. Enjoyed.

[@rkgsd]

7:21 What does using 10W40 in an a leaking old engine designed for 5W30 help with? My 20 year old Toyota V6 1MZ-FE loses a half quart every 3 months. Still using the 5W30 and 10W30 the manual calls for.

[@enigmaPL]

It's a "thicker" oil. Inherently allowing it to take more heat before starting to burn, to put simply. Likewise though, this also means in cold weather, the oil will be significantly thicker, slower to circulate and take longer to warm up to operating temperature. Which is fine if you take time to warm up your car anyway, but some people don't and that could result in premature wear on the engine.

[@rkgsd]

@@enigmaPL There's more to it than letting the car warm up. As the engineers say, most of the damage occurs during crank-up/initial startup...before the oil has had a chance to warm up and circulate to the top of the engine. That makes using thicker oil the worst thing you could do. Gotta go with the highly educated mechanical engineers on this one. Besides that, using thicker oil to help slow down oil burning is one thing, thinking it will slow down leaks is another. Better to just keep adding the recommended oil in both cases.

[@jcak552]

Love this.. had a 82 MkII that I bought in 85 with 53K on it… Drove it until 96 and 185K to AK and back to the Midwest. The head cracked in AK. Got it fixed and drove it 4 more years until the clutch and the front seal stated leaking… It sat until 2011, when I just off loaded it for space… I wish I had had room to store it….

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

Definitely a nice car for it’s time. This video reminded me of why most of us HATE car engineers though, that oil filter looks like it would be a nightmare, along with changing out the fuel filter. Also this was back when oil changes were recommended every 3,000 miles or about 4800 kilometers.

[@slothkingproductions9798]

The oil filter is pretty annoying, I need to change my oil soon and I'm not looking forward to it. Also the fuel filter isn't as bad as he described, don't have to drop anything.

[@JoeUrbanYYC]

Awseome vid. If I ever get around to buying a Mk2 I'll drive it to TO and let you review it

[@oveidasinclair982]

This car isn't being garaged at night. You should get a fan shroud for that radiator, a stock unit will work. The 7MTE engine actually came with two catalytic converters, the down pipe had one which made doing an oil change an extreme pain in the ass because it made getting the oil filter access almost impossible and then the other one where you installed a plug, I didn't use a plug, I used a long screw driver and broke apart the internals of the cat and dump it out, now it's straight through. I did install a 3 inch down so I don't have any cats on my Supra either. You must have the Canadian version of the Supra, that particular steering wheel is only found on the 1989 US Supra's and the cruise control button is not on the panel below the left side AC duct and this car was either an automatic transmission in the beginning, or it had a swap out of the instrument cluster. I don't think that car ever came with TEMS, that's not the cars original instrument cluster.

[@speedkar99]

Yes it's a Canadian model. This was originally an automatic car swapped to manual

I would like mention a few things: The MKIII absolutely had a plastic underbody tray that covered the whole under engine bay with slots for helping draw air away. They're rare for likely obvious reasons. haha It also had cupholders. They're located under the center console lid. Pop it out to unfold them. You wouldn't be the first owners I've met who might have missed them. The lumbar doesn't necessarily move left and right. The lower back (lumbar) moves in and out and the "left and right" control is actually the side bolster adjustment for moving them in and out. Take care!
