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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Lovely car and a real enthusiast owner. Brilliant.

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

holy shit the sound is straight from heaven

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

High schooler? Bro looks 30 💀

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

The MK3 Supra is underrated, one of the best JDMs

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.

Personally like the look of the mk3 supra over the mk4. mk3 supra with 2jz would be very nice.

Seems like a nice kid, and he has a sweet car.

The combination of the drive and the conversation is reallly fantastic as a source of information. Im using your channel to decide which will be my next project car. Great stuff! Thx

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

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

Mk3 Supra is underrated but I love it, this is a car that worth fixing up & driving!

It's incredible to see this legendary car still taking on the track with such an ease after 40 years. Respect! 🏁🚗

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.

I put some new rotors on my Camaro and went to Miami/Homestead Raceway for a track day. I had a "judder" issue from the brakes as well. Turns out, after finding ".000" runout in the rotors cold, that when hot, the way they weld the two halves of the ducted rotor didn't melt together correctly and, when heated up, the two halves split apart. This caused the judder. Took a while to figure that out since they were brand new rotors. When they "forge welded" the two pieces together, something wasn't right.

It does sound very nice for sure!! It looked stable really,at the speeds misha drove it at. Seemed reserved and as the lap went on braking questions came up with good reason. Good safe lap Misha

Wowww beautiful car,nice to see a young man into old skool cars. Great vid

ooooh finally! got one myself 9 years ago and still love it

The sound is amazing!!!

Really nice! I've always loved the style of these earlier cars!!!!!!

Awesome car and awesome story! Love to see it ❤

N/A straight 6 engines always sound phenomenal. It doesn’t matter if it’s US, Japanese or European. It always sounds good.

What a lovely car. I love to see the young folks have passion for the classics.

For me it's one of the best videos on the channel

I think that you have pointed it out in the video a couple of times - this car is obviously a grand tourer but what a fantastic one, throughout the video I have heard like only one strange noise but apart from that - I think this car is really made for those beautiful sceneries and perfect roads, when you do not drive that fast, while enjoying the scenery and that sound of that engine, it has a really nice relaxed gurgle, I mean one just has to love inline sixes. ANd honestly the MK3 is so fucking amazing looking car.

That car sounds relaxing. It reminds me of Falcore the Luck Dragon from never ending story because of it's deep soothing voice. I'd love to cruise down the motorway in that.

the turbo model was also my first car. Parts were difficult to source even back 20 years ago... i still miss it to this day.

MK3 is my fav Supra, like how they ride/sound/look and fun too. a mate had one, in black 3.0 gt turbo more than enough for the road, fastest my mate driven me in was 150mph and info i can find top speed Toyota say 152mph but how well it blasted down the duel carriageway between just before Wrexham and to Chester, fastest trip i ever had down that road, mate was a mad foot to floor or emergency stop little in between so only had few trip out in his supra one was running from cops, car was top spec leather buckets even the rear buckets were great very comfy and hold you well just as good as front seats, and the 3.0 gt turbo it went very well too. not many that spec left sadly and the one my mate had the fool killed it 90 mph on ice single track country road could not stop head on crash . the days with few speed cameras were lots fun gotta be 20 years ago or getting close. £10-38 k ive seen them at current, 20 years ago my mate got is special spec think only made a certain amount 3.0 gt turbo his was £1500 when he got it, crazy prices now sadly

I did PDIs on some of these supras during my work experience at hight school at 15 years old, it was at a Toyota dealership so I got to have a rip in quite a few twin turbos and new MR2s also. 1988 was cool

Crazy to think about back then when I had a 1991 MK3 with the 7M-GTE and 5 speed manual. Installed a 3" catless downpipe and that definitely woke the engine up!

My dad owned one in this exact colour when I was a young boy. I felt like I was in KITT from Knight Rider 😂

Love the sound 👍

Always loved the Gen 3 Supra. Beautiful car.

no not that quick but what an amazing sound!

i could listen to you two all day to be honest.

loved this, need to see the a80 now!

I LOVE this Supra!

Great choice of rims imo. Love white five spokes

My buddy had this exact car, man so much nostalgia 🙌

I had an 86.5 MKIII supra like this one, the previous owner had Graphix all over, "custom" interior,🤣, automatic, but it has multiple factory shift point adjustment buttons, Power and Economy, Normal and Sport Shift, and push button overdrive, If you went Power, Sport, Overdrive off, it wouldn't shift until redline, fun with it's rear independent suspension and factory wide tires on factory magnesium alloy wheels.

The gearing is similar for a lot of cars from that era with the power to pull it. Mostly because testers (usually Americans) would run them to 60mph then 100mph if they were capable so usually 2nd gear will go just over 60mph and third just over 100mph. First was to make it usable around town, 4th was usually the top speed gear and 5th a cruising gear.

Great story and good looking car! For the first part of the video, I thought the track was completely empty!

i love the fact our Misha handels this fine Kar with a lot off respect.

Ahh the good old 7M-GE.. had one of these in a Cressida.

I have a 1JZ-GTE MK3 Supra, this video made me open it instantly 😊❤

This is probably my dream car at this point, it has so much character

I love the mk3!

Beautiful car in my opinion i prefer this to any other supras especially with a 1jz

Great Stuff

Same car as my first car, colour and N/a , absolute tank! 1730kgs on the weigh bridge 😂 sadly they are not a sports car, the Turbo A and Jza70 models were lighter and had alot of improvements, I have a Jza70 TTL and it feels a decade newer. If you want a capable sports car with similar looks the the mk2 or ma60 series XX celica/Supra + Uz or Jz despite more basic suspension is a much better track car, better balanced and lighter, these are highway crushers and need big power to really bring them to life. God bless this kid I hope the car treats him well.

eargasmic sound of Supra MK3, yes!

That first gear change though 👀😂

It's amazing how Misha is going ultra smooth, but still driving pretty fast with this old lady :)

Omg the sound, its like GranTurismo 2 R34 sound. So good

Nice, humble young man.

These also came with TEMS, which was a really a nice thing back then.

anyone who played grand turismo 2 remembers this car :D

This was always my favorite Supra. Best starter car in Gran Turismo :D But I liked it even before that.

Hi Misha, I have been following you for about 1 month now but I have seen many of your videos. Older cars, newer cars, brand new cars. Once upon a time, my favorite car was a BMW but since 2000 I have been drawn to Honda and Toyota for a daily use and personal vehicle use, since they last longer and fewer maintenance. Since I have been watching you I have seen Porche and Merc and BMW that are a lot of fun and even though that H. and T. can last longer, German cars are really capable. I was even surprised of the not so good performance of the Nissan GTR, I did expect better run from it. At least 270 km/h on the fast part of the track, only Porsche and one of the Merc did it. I have not see a Nissan Z on the track and the Newer Supra, before the BMW/Supra I mean. Thanks for your efforts very, very entertaining. Watching you with interest and anticipation.

Cool car, this car is from before 1-1-1988 so road tax is 120 Euro's a year and insurance roughly likewise. When more than 40 years (petrol) road tax free, diesel engines when 50 years. Also applies for busses, trucks, etc.

What a hero!

Great job

Lol the sound is spot on Gran Turismo 2 :D

MK3 Supra's also came with the 7M-GTE, which is the 3.0L inline 6 with single turbo, which is extremely underrated but gaining popularity in recent years as more people learn about it. Also because 2JZ's are being put in everything so the supply is low and they've become quite expensive. Very good engine once the headgasket torque spec is done correctly. Love mine, sounds incredible and has oodles of torque. 😃 Also it's as heavy as E46 M3. My friend has the M3 and I have the MK3 and we compared gross vehicle weight on the door stickers. So it's not as bad as people think.

Wow Ashton Kutcher knows a lot about oldtimers 😁

So cool !

Lovely sound! I'd keep that engine in personally 😁

Sweet! I have a NA 7MGE in swapped in my mk2 Supra. It's around 300kgs lighter than the Mk3. Makes a big difference.

I always loved this car.

Mk3 is one of my dream cars

130 mph at one point, not bad for a 40 year old car!

Toyota for life, no cooling issues

wow nice sound

hey thats the supra i passed on the autobahn the way to the ring :) greetings from the purple Silvia

Yessss finally!!!!

I love my MK3. 7MGTE turbo.

Good video

Great car!

This is my favorite supra

I'm a high schooler without a licence fixing up a first gen bmw mini! Will have to go to the Nurburgring once i get my licence:D

This back in the day was a very quick car then they turbocharged it mind blown ,now here we are today at a totally other level

I used to drive one back then...with lots of HP. Back then, in Gran Turismo 1😅 Like the color!

This is actually my favorite Supra. The 7M was notorious for blowing head gaskets since it was undertorqued from factory. It came with the 1GGTE and 1JZGTE in Japan from factory in the later years. USDM had the 7M and 7MGTE. I had a 91 Cressida with a 1JZ which was essentially a 4 door Supra

best supra gen !

My dad had one when I was small like 20 years ago wish he keep it

Gt7 got the sound on this car perfect.

My dream is to see Misha drive a MK2 Supra on the Nurburgring.
