From a boring millionaire in a Aston Martin to a inspiring High Schooler in a Supra. This format is Solid Gold 🏆

Love the MK3. I'll never forget the rides in my grandma's red 3.0 turbo

[Sly_Wolf_]

One of the best cars I ever owned. In '93 I bought a '91 slight face lifted model in Black, 3.0i turbo was awsome. Had to sell it when I bought my house 😢, needed the money and had to tighten my belt on luxuries. My mum and girlfriend always commented that the dash and dials reminded them if a plane cockpit. My girlfriend used to call it the orgasmatron 😏 what a stud!.... The car was.
Damn I miss pop up headlights!
Not sure if anyone knows or remembers this, the climate control was great but it even had an air vent in underneath section of the steering column shroud aimed at your nads.
Cool nuts on hot days blasting down the lanes to the coast.
Oh where is my time machine.

The car is great but the story is greater! This guy made my night :D

[AP-oprc]

Crazy to think this car is almost 40 years old, and how modern it really is by comparison to a car that came 40 years before it.

My old MK3 was a hoot and it was a Dream spec - 1989 3L turbo, manual, targa. However, in standard form, a shocking track car 😄 Heavy, tail-happy, not very well balanced....it would have required so much work to get it good on the track. But it had amazing presence on the road, people used to ask me all the time what it was, club meets were fun and so was my fuel bill anytime you went on a long drive LOL. Ultra reliable too, couldn't beat that aspect of it. You couldn't ever break the gearbox, super heavy duty tail shafts etc, great steering and the interior had all the awesome 80's trinkets.

Love the old School Supra, PS1 days, god I'm old.

Never thought I’d see a MK3 on this amazing track! I had a pretty built MK3 and I miss it! Mine was a 7mge-t, same engine as this car but converted to turbo, gets a little more torque than the 7mgte. Engine was over bored with upgraded rods and cams . It would idle so smoothly sometimes you could barely tell the car was turned on. You can make these cars surprisingly fast with the right mods. If you put the lexus AFM which gives 25% more air, then upgrade to 550 cc injectors, wideband, rebuild the ct26 with garret internals, upgrade intercooler and in and out. Then tune it of course and this car is a demon! I beat alot of 1j owners and many other fast vehicles. I also had tein suspension, brembo brakes, advan rims, and other small stuff like bushings what not. It handles well but it is very heavy and really isn’t t meant for touge or circuit. Thanks again Misha for bringing back great memories!

4:19 It's a variable intake runner flap, that help flow dynamics from low to high. Later in 88 the Turbo variant ditched that and came with dual fuel pressure system that also had twin stage injectors with small nozzles for low RPM and opened the larger nozzles for higher RPM/fuel pressure (think it was 3600rpms). The Turbo model got oddly good MPG, i was getting about 27 with mixed driving and over 30 on the highway while road tripping. As long as you stayed under said RPM it was sipping on fuel

I had a 89 and then a 86.5 (the first Supra's were released at a half year mark) which i swapped all the intirror which was nearly perfect (seats, liners, trim, carpet, the whole dash, all of it), engine, and other things from the 89. The 89 was a rust bucket and the rear shock towers where rusted through, only had it for half a year before i found the 86.5. Then another half year later the bumper was damaged and at the junk yard i found a 88 Turbo (70K miles) that just got there, i was going to take the bumper off it then i started realizing how complete the car was and i bought it from the junkyard with a salvage title for $1400 (i did a compression test in the yard). Still my favorite car, gunmetal gray, fully loaded hard top (the Tagra top is a sloppy pig). Came with a gray leather interior that was falling apart and again.. moved the whole interior to the 88. I was 19 at the time

But i went full ham on the 88T, first i started investigating why it wasn't throwing spark. Hired a guy to diagnose the electrical (first and last time i ever hired anyone to diagnose one of my cars) and did gave me some BS that i said thanks to and paid him to leave. He wasn't load testing any of the wiring, turns out the CPS was on by a single strand of wire so i simply reterminated the connector and the car turned on! (later installed a whole new hardness) and fixed a whole mess of intake leaks and other things. I then swapped all the good suspension parts from the 86 and got some new to make it handle like new. Redid everything with the brakes as this 3800 pound car needed to stop much more now as it picked up much more speed. Got race compound pads and stock rotors, DOT 4 (new at the time), etc.. with a proper alignment from a local guru and some very sticky 245 tires on stock rims it pulled your face right off when you hit the brakes. Then i switched to 92 Supra springs, which they switched back to the original Lotus designed ones because when the MK3 Supra first got reviewed it got very bad reviews on how hard the suspension was so they raised it about 3/4 inch and made the springs softer. After that the car drove like it was on rails, completely fixing the horrible body roll they were known for.

Ohh and also tor down the whole engine after a few months because it got a minor blown head gasket, installed a revised OEM gasket, oil pump shim, and head studs (NOT over tightened, that was just to prevent walk out). I didn't machine the head or anything, just cleaned it very well and checked for cracks by running my nail everywhere and retorqued the head after a week of driving lol. Lasted me 7 years, until i sold it fully intact and happy with 176K miles. Tons of minor mods to the intake/exhaust etc, mostly stock, and hitting MAF limit. Guessing it was at about 320rwhp as it was definitely faster than a 4th gen Camaro SS with full exhaust, a (new at the time) 05 Mustang GT, and Much faster than my buddys new 350Z.

Stock turbo and manifold are shockingly good after the many small mods i made, there was virtually no lag above 4800 rpm, and the 88 apparently had a higher rev limiter because i (accidently) found out one day that it revved up to 7200 and made power all the way there. Unless the previous owner did something to the stock ECU.

Jesus, i seriously think i might remember every nut and bolt on the car. Horribly underrated car because you can't tune them, the ECU is hard coded and most people used piggy back systems that made it run like garbage. Usually causing knock etc. There were a bunch of guys back in the day that daily'd stock blocks and heads with 600-700hp and it could take up to 850hp. Two flaws, oil pressure and the stock head studs walked out with temp cycling.

Keyboard diarrhea, hope it doesn't read like that haha

Beautiful car and the perfect owner. Nice to see some older not hardly modified cars also enjoy the track as well. Really need to make the trip to the nordschleife soon.

[bigalalbig]

Lovely car and a real enthusiast owner. Brilliant.

[dillondee]

Thanks God someone explained to uncle Misha how VVT-i works ❤, we need those 90’s - 2000’s Toyota with twin can engines on the channel because we had to much Vtec

[nomadben]

This was my first car, a 1989 Supra Turbo with the 5-speed manual and targa top. I definitely shouldn't have had that car at 17 years old haha. I had to pull the engine apart to change the head gasket, which is a problem on every 7M engine (probably why he said he had to change the engine). That was a hell of a lot of work with how complex the engine bay is.

[micheltebraake]

Mooi, een meegroei auto. En dan de eco- en powerlampjes in de toerenteller, helemaal jaren 80.

[parasgumber]

Soul lifting vlog. With the intro itself it related me with the story… 🥂

[punkypink]

ahhh the mk3. i'll never forget this car. mainly because i was in one when my then-friend crashed it 😅

[dexterplant]

Got two of them stored on my property, they belong to my son, one is a turbo the other is not. He bought the turbo car when he was 14 years old, since then he has changed the suspension, brakes, and other things performance related, a couple years ago I taught him how to do any body work needed and how to paint it, when the turbo 7m finally expires, there's a LS v8 in the corner waiting to go in, it's still fairly sudden even at its high mileage.

[LennoxPrima]

The MK3 Supra is underrated, one of the best JDMs

[Boostguru]

Love that the MKIII is getting some love. Given how this kid enjoys the car, his head is in the right place.

[birelboy]

So are car lovers born. Enjoy this supra and make it how you want. It can take quite a while, but keep your focus and it wil finish. Good luck with the build and enjoy the journey.
