*edit - Please edit this and use periods in future posts. - Isphius

great.


thats the biggest run on sentence ive seen

haha sorry, i dont use periods on the computer unless im typing an essay.

That WAS an essay! But aside from that pre-congrats on the supra!

Yes, I dont mean to be an A-hole, But I had to reread that like 60 times to understand parts of it. Just try in the future lol. And goodluck with your supra. They are awesome cars.

nice. What are the colors? Test drive it? How did it run? Turbo or non turbo?

PICTURES!







!...please

sweeet! and atreyu is the most amazing f*cking band ever.

No, i havnt drivin it, my dad did and he said it runs nice. As for the turbo, i dont know. The color is like a blue/silver i guess. I have seen it and i wish i had pictures, but im not supposed to know about it. So my grandma only took me by for like a minute to see it. I know it had a new cooling fan, new paint job, and a couple other things. Thats about it and i know its and automatic thats about all i know. I would ask my grandma if its a turbo but she wouldn't know what that is. I'll try to find out ill just ask her 2 ask my grandpa or something.

and yea atreyu ownes im going to see them on the 6th of october. I've seen them like 3 times they r soo rad.

Good lyrics, cookie cutter music :) Plus right side of the bed is a total rip off of the song hives by In flames haha. I love it tho. My fave song by them is either aint love grand or the rememberance ballad tho...Both have great lyrics. But anyways, Goodluck getting your car. And remember to use periods! hahah jk.

A good indication if it's a turbo or not is if it has the spoiler... Not always, as some people remove it from a turbo or add it to a N/A...

oo yea, and another thing i know about it is that it has a removable top. I dunno if that makes it better or not but yea, and i guess you can fit it in the trunk and take it with you.

I've had 2 different targa top supra's. One had ALOT of body twist with the top off, the other didn't. The difference that I could see is on the passenger door the the one that had alot of twist, had a piece missing, the part that sticks inside the doorjam. I'm guessing it's kind of a lock for the door to make the car more stable with the top off. There's a lever that pushes in when the door shuts and that was broke off too. I haven't torn into the door to see what they actually do, but thats my guess and I'm sticking to it!

ok heres somthing new i found out that it has like the sport package or sumthing like that, i think that means it has turbo. Well i hope anyway. If im right that means, 230 hp, yay!

Sports package means it has TEMS, the adjustable suspension. Both N/A and turbo's have em.

Well this is what i read on this one website.



1987: First Supra turbo model is introduced. The intercooled, turbocharged engine boosts hp to 230 and torque to 246 ft-lbs. Other unique features of the turbo are an engine oil cooler and integrated rear spoiler. The sports package, which is standard on the turbo and optional on the base model, offers limited slip differential (LSD), TEMS, and headlamp washers. New Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) available as an option on all models. Besides the Turbo's standard 1-peice spoiler, other visual differences include a boost gauge where the NA's Voltmeter would reside, and a "turbo" badge on the rear of the car.


heres the website:

It tells all about the supra from 1986.5-1992, and the changes in every year. A few of you might find it interesting.:gotnos:

The only way you can know for sure is too look under the hood or get the vin number. All the supras, n/a and turbo, Came with every option.
