it's a 1986.5 mk3 with the 7mge 3.0 5 speed and 120000 miles for 1500 bucks.
i kind of got it on a whim so i thought i'd ask about anything i should be watching for

things i have done:
oil change
coolant system flush
new plugs n wires

things to come:
allignment
new tires
body parts
suspension

Worth looking at the brakes, general condition pads, rotors (disc) does the calliper move freely on the shaft. Check the fuel tank straps haven’t rusted away. Generally for a car over 20 years old the Supra has good reputation apart for cylinder head gaskets leaking. Welcome to the passion of owning a Supra.

I just got a 1989 supra turbo, im going to pick it up in a few hours
long drive but its worth it. What is the cheapest way to add power to the car???? really anxious to shut up my freinds with civics and eclipses!!!
