This is my first car, a MkIII Toyota Supra. Its a MA70 7M-GE. This engine is a non turbo. Was great while it was working but i did come across a few issues. The car being the 1986 model had a few aging issues and therefore heaps of problems. So after i killed the first 7M engine i brought another MA70 that was a ride-off to replace the first one... due to not fully filling the gear box with oil i blew the gear box and clutch. I have now since then done a 1JZ-GTE engine conversion. This was stressful due to lack of mechanics willing to take on the project. But now having it fully completed i love it. Performance - The stock 1JZ is a fantastic engine. It puts power down as nice as a Supra can due to stock suspension set up. In saying that my Supra handles very well I've found. Mine still has the 7M-GE brake set, which is the same as the 1JZ-GTE... So I've had no issues braking from a high speed. Build Quality - Well i already mention the 7M's aging engine problem, enough said on that. There is an annoying squeak from the boot hatch. The doors are a very heavy part of the car and due to the shear size of the door it becomes a issue if u park on a slope it falls back onto you or hard into the ground, damaging the bottom corner. Appearance - The exterior of this car screams Japaneses power car. It has slick angles and curves to entice to eyes. With its long nose and stock wide front and rear quarter panels it just has a tough stance. The front bar with its split look, hiding the parkers and indicators and big open air intake to cool engine and optimize intercoolers effectiveness. Fog lights mounted down low and the very typicaly 80's look of pop-up head lights. Interior is a true 80's sports car look. Long dash full of gauges and switches to let you know whats going on at all times. Bucket racing seats to hold you in place while driving. They're also adjustable to hug you perfectly. Plenty of leg room for the driver and passenger, not so much if you get stuck in the back. But thats a given with all two doors coupes. Cost - Well with any sports car its not going to be cheap. They're not great on fuel, but be truthful who buys a car like this for fuel economey?? No one. Maintanence is shocking being an import spares are hard to come by. You need to find a speacilist in the type of car or maker. Due to the age it also makes it hard. Fun Factor - Well this would be the most important part really. Oh MY Goodness!! It is most deffinetly a fun car to drive. Takes off hard, truns heads of other motorists. Gives a real addreninal rush as you push into boost. Throwing you into your seat as you and the car race up to any speed limit. Flying up into the corner then braking hard and droping down to the right gear to boost hard out of the apexi of the corner. A car like this encourages other sports cars to want to race you down the main street. Would i recommend this to a friend? Yes! I would but only if they are willing to fix it and put time and money as owning a sports car is a money hunrgy thing as i've learnt the hard way. But to me the money i've spent was worth it. Overall i would give it 10/10... But in a proper rating. I would say 8.5/10.

I am getting ready to sell my Supra but it's been the best car I've ever driven. I took it up to 147 MPH one time and will never forget it. Power everything, acceleration any time you need it. What more could you ask for.

Not many cars on the road can beat one of these off the line, even in the standard naturally-aspirated form. The 3 litre six puts out more horses than most Aussie V8’s of the era - combined with a good, tough transmission and limited slip diff, they’re very quick for a car that is over 20 years old. The turbo and twin turbo models aren’t for the feint hearted – as much for the wallet-shrivelling fuel consumption as the awesome speed. Very well equipped from the factory, electric gizmos are all there (including electric windows, mirrors, cruise, excellent air-con, even electric lumbar support!) they are very well built. Everything seems to work, forever. The doors, whilst they work fine, are tinny and make a terrible sound when the pillarless windows are wound down. After 300 000kms and only one head gasket (they’re well-regarded for blowing head gaskets) mine still doesn’t use any oil. The key seems to be to use the power and send the needle right around the tacho a few times a week. It thrives on being driven hard. The suspension is sophisticated and provides a great deal of the car’s massive (for it’s proportions) 1700kg weight – but don’t expect it to be comfortable. This is a sports car, and it thumps and bumps over potholes and ridges ion the road like one. Handling, however, is spectacular – with minimal body-roll and no understeer. Oversteer is the killer, but is only ever induced by ridiculous speeds going into corners – not recommended! The flailing tail end is hard to catch. Fuel consumption is what you’d expect from 3 litres and six cylinders, and it responds reasonably well to economy runs – but that’s no fun. I tried to thrash mine to death, but all it did was cost me more in fuel! Highly recommended.
