First Supra 1991

supra91 · 12-05-2007, 01:43 PM

Hi
Just picked up my first Supra 91 MK3. I was wondering what are the main problems if any with the MK3 so I can take care of them first. Car already has suspension work with coilovers, full custom 3inch exhaust, Rotora rotors and EBS brake pads wich all have less than 2000 miles on them.

Thank you Rob.

HEADGASKET
if it still has the stock headgasket have it replaced with a metal one
but in order for you to do this you need to have the block machined

also you get that parthenon, small yellow house, birdcage
to the left of the speedo
that is the low coolant level , jus top off the coolant reservoir and you should be fine

any waterfall sound behind the dash, your coolant needs to be burped

the tailight warning light, if it stays on, jus replace the small; box on the tailight

these are what i can think of right now

and welcome to the forums, you will love your car,
and this forum is more of the newbie friendly type
if you got any other questions,
try using the search feature, and most of the answer should be at the faq section
put your car's info in your signature, and itll be easier for pple to help you when you ask a question

Thank you for the info. I should have the car registered by the end of the week so for now just doing some clean up and replacing some of the hoses with some silicone ones.
