mkiii - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #21733 9 posts Started by CBawlla
I just traded my hachi in for a 1987 mkiii Supra. I was wondering if any one in the 6gc community has one? It's a project car so these are the things wrong with it off the top of my head.

87 Turbo targa 5 speed
Cracked drivers side mirror
busted right fog lamp
Leaking exhaust manifold
Leak in P/S hardlines
Right head light no work
Drivers side power lock no work
Engine Temp and Speedo guages no work
Horn no work
Popping the hood is a bitch and requires two people

It's the 7mgte motor running the ct-26 turbo. The leak in the exhaust manifold is robbing this car of some major HP. For the two days I've had it, it can boost up to 5psi easily. It's running a N1 Turbo 3" straight pipe exhaust. It also has TEMS, adjustable from Normal to Sport.

Any input from fellow markIII owners or celica owners that know a thing or two about this car would be appreciated. I havent found any active support forums in the U.S. such as the 6gc community for this car. I'll probably post pics up later on today.


Try www.supraforums.com, there should be some helpful info there.
good car.

a lot of people tend to hate that car for some reason, but that was back when i was looking to get one.

now the prices have gone up so much since one of those stupid magazines included it in one of the best tuner cars under $10k

good thing you got the targa, i love that option. i really wanted a removable top car(not convertable) but i would only sacrifice that feature for AWD

hit me up if you need a alternator I have a rebuilt one never used. Bought it for my 91 supra right before it got totalled.

yeah... I just sold my hachi so I think I'm over the drift scene. Do you know if the car came stock with LSD?
