its a white 1987 Targa top N/A Supra 125,000 no dents, paint is excellant conditon. New tires.The interior is perfect, no rips anywhere on the seats. The engine starts right up no smoke, no visable leaks on the engine or under the car, This car also just got a $2000 transmmission put in, This guy is asking for $750.00 I think its a deal, but is it?

How much longer will this engine last, assuming its been mainted well, is the only thing the headgasket?

How do I ensure this engine lasts as long as my 22RE-C

Any Mk3 is worth more than that, unless it is thoroughly fucked over, and since its not, its worth more than that.

I just took the car home, and all I can say is WOW its Heavy feeling.


I can't hardly handle this, its almost perfect all the way around like brand new. The engine runs so smooth, and when I took the oil fill cap off to see how much blowby it had, it actually produced none, which I think is amazing, because I also have a JDM spec 2.5 litre and it has 40,000 on it and it has a little push to it, but normal, qas most cars have some leakdown. But this Supra has nothing, very crazy, the worst part is I picked the car up from Cottman Trans on Belcher and Ulmerton, thats who got paid $2287 for a new trans to be installed and they were test driving this car with no oil but maybe 2 quarts in the crankcase, This is no lie, I put in 3 quarts of oil just to see it on the stick!!!!! Still was about 1 quart low after adding 3.

I asked them do you guys always drive customers cars without oil in the engine? He then says in a changed tone of a voice into a back woods RN, we don't check the oiearl. I told him that this is good....carry on ..

Any guys with Supras hangout as a group? Who around this site, Who knows the shit about the MK3 and is that what I got?

Don't worry Taka, I still have the RX7 and the single rotor motorcycle.


I will make sure mine is not a slug, it can't be after I remove about 500 lbs.

I'm 100% for that, but you should get a twin turbo instead.
And I dont mean the 7M.

Or the 2JZ.


Or the 6.0 W12.


Or the 2.7 Biturbo.


Or the...

Too many extra headaches with using pressure for power, and not to mention the costs.

I can get the car to produce right around 300 hp, and drop about 500 lbs and it should run quite a bit faster than stock. The engine would last longer, just a better idea in general.

I already have Turbo T3/T4 Hybrid 2.5 litre that pushs 34 psi and 380 HP, in a 2300 lbs car. I have my turbo to play with, it also has 5 way adjustable Racing Koni's.

Yes sir I have #0867 GLH-S Charger, with all kinds of TQ. Probadly more TQ than HP.....When the tires melt down when you nail it, you know its got the right stuff.

I forgot to tell you guys I ported the heads out, but kept the stock turbo sized valves.

I have some pics somewhere if you guys wanna see them.

ps: its "Goes Like Hell Somemore" GLH-S Thanks Mr Shelby.:lol:

it was just a joke anyways. No harm meant! But that is what Mr Shelby called it.

I wasn't calling you that. Sorry for the confusion.
