Oh, and note that this forum is under "Performance and General Modification Forums - for generation specific discussions". Pricing discussions aren't the primary purpose of this forum, but again if another member has some input for you on this topic I don't mind at all if this discussion goes on. If you end up wanting to sell the parts from that extra wrecked Supra, please post that ad in the appropriate for-sale forum.

I have an 89 Turbo and have been thinking about getting an MKIV. Any specifics you can point me to to look out for? Haven't decided on the N/A versus Turbo, yet. For example......I know the MKIII is known for blown, head gasket, oil leaks, etc. etc.....anything the MKIV is notorious for?

If you find a well maintained Mkiv TT that either hasn't been modified, or has been modified properly and has always run race fuel, it's a keeper. There are easy fixes we can help you find for any of the minor items that owners have found over the years (eg. the hatch rattle in the pre-'97 models). Get the car and send us your questions.  Oh and don't get an n/a. It's nothing at all like the TT except in the 'looks' department.

Thanks for the info. I actually do have a couple more questions if that's o.k. As stated I have an MKIII and the only thing I really did was put a 3" exhaust on it and rims from a n/a MKIV.....really wanted the turbo rims, but I couldnt' pass up that deal. Anyway, I recently test drove a n/a MKIV and really didn't like the visibility and the low seating, but it's something I can overlook. I did however like the handling.....felt a bit more stiff than my MKIII, but not too overbearing. I know there's a huge difference in the MKIV turbo and am waiting for something local to test drive and possibly buy......but like you said, many seem to be modified....and I would venture to say....half-a$$. I just want to drive something stock, but that seems hard to come by. Here's my questions. Is the MKIII turbo faster than the MKIV n/a? Specs seems to say it is, but when I drove it, I really couldn't tell. Can I run 87 octane on the n/a MKIV? Thanks in advance for your comments or anyone else who would like to chime in. BTW I really like the look of the MKIV, that's why I'm thinking about getting one, but do I want to get rid of my MKIII that only has about 83,000 miles?

Once again thanks for the info. I'd love to keep them all but I have too many toys. I actually have two 7mgte, but one has a broken driver's side key hole due to someone breaking into it. It's just sitting there till I have time to fix it or sell it as is. I also have a blown Tacoma S-Runner that's putting down about 242 to the wheels. It's my sleeper truck. I'm not out to break any records or anything, just like to do a little modding....but like you said....do it correctly.....and that usually means, it's not cheap. I'd like to pick up a stock MKIV turbo....but am not in a hurry.
