Which is perfectly fine, because no amount of videos of streetraces or drifting will make me like Supras. :zzz: That's just the way it is. :fawk:
Thanks for sharing though. :D

thought about getting one of those but decided on the 240 on account of my nissan affinity and how dang light it is.
My GF has a MK3 Supra... It's a great car! I can't wait to JZ it! :D

How do you think it's but ugly? It looks like a wider version of a 240 :loco:
Anyway, my old roomate has three of'em. 2 NA and one turbo that he swapped in an engine. That thing sounds soooo nutty. The turbo just makes this crazy ass noise that almost gets me hard :wiggle:
It's too boxyish for me, thats why i got my zenki s14 :D And also the reason i didnt get an S13 coupe. S13 hatch wouldnt be too bad tho, but the zenki came up dirt cheap.

I was in the passenger seat of an mk3. The car got 300-320 hp. That thing pulled so hard. We raced 2 times at the strip with a Mustang mach 1 (2003 i think) we killed it one time and he killed us one time ... its a nice car with some back-hurting Torque. :)

proof positive that with enough money, ANYONE can polish a turd.
Nah.. I like Supras. Any car can be be made to be a Vette killer with enough money though.
Ok I found the correct drifting link :)

hahaha, whats this? linkin park for a drift video? man, now that is a great combination, its a wonder you dont hear them in so many other vids too. As for the drifting supras, take izumida's mk3, the truck one, now that bitch can drift.

i love idiots that dont bother to break in the engine...instead they go out and race it YAY!!!

What pisses me off bout them are most turbos are automatics.
Eh? They are? Most of the A70 turbo owners I know have 5spd.....

That car is much heavyer then one may think. It sits around 4000k lbs. Weighing in at 800lbs over the mk4 belive it or not. The stock 7m is a peice of lard, that blows the headgasket at 300hp. The main thing, is the things weight. Despite its size, it weighs as much as a caddy. I am not roasting on the mk3's I just think they are the worst chassies to pick for performance. Three of my good freinds are big Supra guys. But are top compeating in the Nopi drag wars. My friend and I helped Orin with putting his mk3 together for the drag wars. Despite its weight, 1000hp, will push it. Then again, it does not have the 7m. He is running a 1.5j, and was actualy the firstperson to run a 1.5j. My other friend is Dan, in his Mk4. Dan is running around 1100hp, but the last time I checked. they were both being beat by an eclipse in first place My third supra friend had a buisness, where he made you a 12'sec car, for 7.5k$. He would build you a old Celica/Supra with a 7m, Then tune it to about 350hp.. There is reason he did not pick the mk3 chassies. Even though I like how it looks, and many people do. When I found out about its weight, I was horrified. It wheighs more then it appears, as it was made of lead. But any way. A mk3 looks nice, Though it weighs a ton, the 7m is a turboed truck motor, it is nothing to brag over, it does not own.

4000lbs is WAY over. It's only around 3400-3500lbs. I don't really like the 7m, but even though it's a gasket eater, some dood that run's 8's has a 7m mk2 and beats titan's supra all the time. As for the 1jz, What's your friends name? Was he the first in your area or first in the US?

Dude, 350hp is not the line where a 7M will begin to eat head gaskets... I had a non-turbo Mk3 back in 2000, then decided not to keep it. Luckily the guy that sold it to me was actually interested in having it back. Sadly enough, the bone stock naturally aspirated car blew the head gasket within a few months, and I know at least 2 other people with non-turbos that have done the exact same shit. For that reason, I can and will hate on your beloved Mk3 supra.
Wanna know how to stop those damn bhg's? Get a metal head gasket...

And talk about HEAVY (http://www.autotrader.com/research/model_info/modelinfo_technicalspecs.jtmpl?vehicle_number=U906 1&vehicle_number3=&vehicle_number2=U9062&restype=used&ac_afflt=none), that sumbish weighs 3534 before a full tank of gas and driver/passengers. With an 18.5 gallon gas tank and fuel weighing 6.5 lbs/gallon, add driver and passenger, and you are damn sure going to be damn close to, if not over 4000 pounds. This makes the Mk3 a gasket eater and a heavy-assed pig

Is that what you did with yours? And one would think this to not be necessary on a reasonably driven unmodified, bone stock and meticulously maintained car. Why in the hell should the stock head gasket NOT work if nothing about the engine is not stock?

I thought you just got a Metal Hd Gasket and then doubled up on the torque specs with some good hardware.(ARP) And regardless 1jz's are going for cheaper than SR's, I think;). Carbon fiber hood, Lexan rear glass, strip insides and rear seats, Sound deadning, blah blah blah. The main point being that I can't find a 240 for less than 3000 and their beat to crap or auto verts. I see MK3's in the paper turbo and non for 1500-3K and they are far better shape visually. I'll take car of the eng. A known problem is a problem that can be fixed. And I am sorry guys but the MK3 is beautiful and has more easily gained power potential. Think of it as a thunder pig for the road. But that weight, Christ, it has to go. Parts are far more expensive too. Toyota really didnt use anything on the Mk3 for other cars. Maybe the cressida, I don't know. But Bomexed and prepped + 1jz = A sexy GT Beast.

Wait, you had one with a blowed head gasket, didn't you? Change that number of people I know personally with blown head gaskets to 3 now... That makes 3 out of the 4 Mk3 supra owners I know.

It's soon to be 4 out of 5 :wavey: Oh yeah....but after the MHG change....I'm gonna get rod knock :angel: ....lmfao

Meh... My GF's Supra hasn't had a BHG... But she bought it with a MHG. ;)
Anyways, I know that the 7M is a piece of LARD. But 1JZ can hold up or beat on ANY other I6 engine. And a Supra dials in a 3600lbs with fully loaded fluids. I have a friend that corner weighted his fully loaded at 3450lbs (no targa, no space + jack, no A/C).

Phlip mine blew the headgasket and destroyed the deck. so they were able to fix it once but never again. it let go again about 8 months later. couldnt resurface the head anymore. still cranked last time I heard. but rod knock harder than the two twelves I used to have in there
JtWo - I wasnt aware there was a difference beteen them. (other than HP rating and that was due to smaller turbo on the JDM spec to keep it in the gentlemans HP spec agreement)

mkiii supra is like a blend of the Z31 and Z32.. Z31 came out in 84 and MKIII Supra came out in 86, so they had a couple years to clean up and make better, than the Z31. Then, NISSAN throws out the Z32 in `90 and did a great job.. only to be out-done years later with the MKIV Supra in `93. So, Toyota's always been playing catchup with NISSAN and then ends up making a nicer product. Not to say the Z32 isnt a good car, but I wouldnt want to work on that thing.. too aggrivating.
Regardless, the point here is to respect all cars that are owned, maintained, and modified PROPERLY.

Steeles- Not just because of the turbo, but also because of smaller cams and injectors =]
Is that what you did with yours? And one would think this to not be necessary on a reasonably driven unmodified, bone stock and meticulously maintained car. Why in the hell should the stock head gasket NOT work if nothing about the engine is not stock?
because toyota made a mistake with the torque specs :)
notice how they rectify that mistake with the MKIV, which the TT version has a metal gasket stock that can easily handle 1000hp+ :D
the NA 2jz has a paper gasket; but i dont know anyone who blows it either
the 7m motor was one of the weird ones... the 1jz is definitely the better choice :) also sounds REAAAAALLLY good

torque the stock HG to Toyota recall specs and you should be fine....
anyway, the 7mgte motor is a badass machine... and its cheaper to build than the 1jz
1jz in mk3 is a nice setup. its not SR 240 tho

this guy i used to know... most people would say we were best friends.. but to me now.. he is a fuck face.................. any ways.. i put a 1jz in his pos supra(mk3? not the newer body style)... when we went to test it out.. we where side by side... that thing was a pig still..my ka was pulling on him... till 4th gear... the 1jz is great though.. put one in a cressida... that thing is very nice... cressida is bad ass...
... cressidas are way cooler... :drama:

lets not get this into a 1jz vs 7m thread... toyota changed over for a reason
and it takes more than a retorque of the stock head to make the gasket reliable... i know quite a few people that went that route with new oem gaskets and still blew the gaskets (and no they definitely knew what they were doing because they bought a mhg after that :) )
