Wonderful to see such a solid example of the 85 Mk II Supra. Loved mine dearly as my daily driver back in the day. Was great to hear you mention how practical the rear hatchback area is. I used to bring my mountain bike along without even having to remove the front tire. One feature I miss to this day was that power sunroof. My later Mk III Supra had a Targa top, but I hardly ever bothered with it. Whereas the power sunroof of the MK II got a lot of use and never leaked. Overall such a strikingly good looking car. Aggressive in an angular way we don't see anymore. Plus the fun of those pop up headlights, which always sounded amazing when they deployed. Other great MK II features: the full size spare and the engine bay work light.

All great things you mention about the Supra! The hatch is so practical for trips to home depot, etc. I have a small pad that fits over the center console and I can stick things out the back. The hatch actually has tie downs unlike new cars. It's dangerous for long distances, but for a 3 mile haul it's great. The fuel injection and engine in this car is so good. I'm really loving it.

I’m in Atlanta and had an 89 911 coupe back in the early 00s. It was a challenging daily. Traffic sucked and the ac was nonexistent. In the summer I’d have to turn the car off in bumper to bumper for the oil temp even with the wheel well radiator and fan. I would be on the verge of heat stroke some days. I was in my early 20s so I could somewhat handle it. If I were to do it now, I’d get a manual switch for that wheel well radiator fan and electric AC. I had an 86 targa since and currently an 84 targa. I like the spring clutch is so much easier on me. I remember that hydraulic clutch killing me in traffic. It took so much effort. I don’t mind the 915 over the g50 (even though the g50 was so smooth and satisfying to shift) so I’ll stick with the spring clutch. For my second car, I’ve always kept a Honda CRX and r12 AC. B16A is a great engine. I upgraded from the USDM CRX in 2008 to a rhd JDM SiR. I guess I’m drawn to the most impractical forms of transportation.

I love the MK2 Supra. If I had one today, I'd daily that every time before my SC. The ergonomics in the 911 for me just don't work as a six footer. The gear shift, steering wheel, and dash are too far away (I can't sit crunched up). I used the longer momo hub adapter and a shifter lever extension to make it more comfortable. Ergo not being an issue, the 911 hands down is way more fun to drive.

I wonder if being in SoCal has something to do with why you get more comments on the Supra? 911’s are rare in so much of the rest of the country.

Thank you and thanks for voting. SoCal is a hotbed for Porsches and they are everywhere, even classics. I think the Toyota is less pretentious and more approachable too, so people are more likely to chat about it. This is one of the few Toyotas that had aggressive styling for that era. This one is the P-type with wider flares etc. I think they did a good job with it. I like it more than later supra which look very different No news on the throttle body fix, but will keep everyone updated as I know more.

Yours is in far better condition than mine as mines been a daily driver for the last 10 years at least plus over the years my dearly departed dog left a mountain of fur in it and holes in the passenger arm rest through standing on it while hanging its head out the window as we traveled all over the countryside. Took the original 5me engine (as opposed to 5mge) out after it's 3rd or 4th blown head gasket in 18 months and threw it in the bin. Dreadful engine. Put a 1jz in it. Extra 70 hp for free and it cruises like a dream. It's a great car not that there's many of them left here in Australia at least. Just wanted to say that they have the most comfortable seats possibly of all time. Can drive long distances which I often do and no numb bum sore legs no nothing. The driver's seat has 8 different adjustments you can make. Mine are some sort of material though. They're not leather. Not a fan of leather. Only downside to mine is in the wet weather it's hopeless even with its Lotus rear end. There is no weight in the back so going around corners in the wet is always an experience. One more thing the spoiler you mentioned on the hatch is actually a sunshade to stop people in the back seat cooking on a hot day. Love your Supra. Long may it live.

911 clearly the better sports car but the Supra is good enough for me and more reliable. 911s not striking though quite good looking n way too common. Supra is rare n sharper looking. I know subjective.

The supra styling made a big splash when it was new and still hold up. The 911 styling was due for a refresh in the late 80's, but it's iconic and also timeless in my opinion.

@@GarageTimeAutoRestono please leave the 5m in it. you’re just gonna ruin the supra and devalue it. buy a crappier mk2 if that’s what you want to do.

I stay with the 911. But surely not for summer without AC
@GarageTimeAutoResto4 ай бұрын
That's my challenge with this car. I have some upgraded AC components that should help it a lot. Will be hard to beat the supra though.
@cramiro714 ай бұрын
@@GarageTimeAutoResto my 911 doesn’t have AC, but I might think about installing an “electric” one. what do you think about it? By the way, I also only drive my classic cars. I have two classic Mini, for the city (Madrid) and then my 911 for longer trips, I just love it, I am not really interested on modern cars anymore. And I build them for running them, not for leaving them parked on the garage
@GarageTimeAutoResto4 ай бұрын
I've heard mixed feelings about the electric AC. Hopefully the new one coming out will be better. Very good to hear that you are also enjoying old cars. I've never driven a mini but they look like so much fun.
@NZotyoka814 ай бұрын
The 911 is just way better and way more stylish then a toyota. I would not even put them into the same tier. Despite that driving old cars like these on daily bases would be a complete waste. They deserve the sunny Sundays driver status.

Life's too short to drive boring cars. What are we saving them for? We are likely the last generation to be able to drive them anyway Do the maintenance and repairs and don't look back.

It's a tough comparison, but the Supra is tough to beat as a practical daily driver and still fun.

Better minus some performance. But more practical to carry things, etc.
