Mk2 Toyota Supra..1984 Celica Supra Goes for a Drive

The Celica Supra was Toyota's bigger brother to the Celica. Rear wheel drive and a straight six engine was the perfect recipe for an '80s muscle car

So pleased to see the Supra reviewed. My Dad had a Mk2 Auto which he loved. I was horrified that he’d gone from his XJS and thought it was vulgar and tasteless. In those days Japanese cars were still viewed snootily by some, including myself. In retrospect, my prejudice was misplaced and rather like them now. The Kia Stinger is instantly brought to mind. I remember most of those I saw were two tone, in my Dad’s case dark metallic blue below the waste, light metallic blue above.

This car is like the epitome of 1980s-cool, it looks absolutely fantastic. With RWD and that generous 6 cylinder-engine with it, the stuff of dreams, really. I know I dreamed of it with the black Corgi supra I had as a child (and still now have somewhere) anyway. I would say here in Europe the Ford capri 2.8 injection was likely its closest competitor? The concept and layout of these 2 cars was very similar, but I'd always choose the supra.

My mothers ex partner had 2 of these back in the mid/late 90s (amongst other now rare cars. An XR4x4 and a Delta Intergrali to name a few). One was white and the other a metallic blue. Always remember thinking how cool the dash looked like and watching the rev counter on long journeys along the motorways at night. A very pleasant surprise to come across this video as it brung back many memories from over 20 years back now…

Wow, a friend had a Japanese market (imported into New Zealand) one. It was almost identical however it had an ultra high revving 2 litre six that redlined at about 8000 Rpm. I remember teaching him how to double de clutch the gears to access the power band at any speed. My understanding was that this 2 litre was almost as powerful as the 2.8. I can't forget the amazing noise as the revs wound past 7000. I always knew he was visiting as I could hear the sound of his car 5 minutes before he actually arrived. The other thing that amazed me was the fact it never blew up..

Now I so much want one again after your review, but with the prices of these '80's and '90's Japanese sports cars going crazy now, my budget still won't stretch that far. Glad you liked it, I still have very fond memories of that test drive all those years ago...just a great car. Cheers!

In the early 90's i had a 1986 model in the same red but with maroon interior. In Australia they only came with the single ohc six. Mine had that rear spoiler over the rear window which I thought balanced the chubby rear a bit. The blank above the radio/cass housed a graphic equalizer, otherwise mine was exactly the same. Your test car is in incredible condition. The single ohc six was torquey but not great, it was however a really comfortable 5th gear touring car. In Oz summer city driving it suffered badly from heat sink power loss from the big 6 crammed into a 4-cylinder hole. Really enjoyed your review.

Great video, thanks a lot. So many memories. Back in the days ( 1988 ), my girlfriend owned a Supra Mk2 without these wide wheel arches and digital gages. It looked and sounded so great, but the performance was on the same level as a VW Shirocco GTI 16V. But it felt so much more spezial, more like a real GT. My daily car was a Datsun Laurel 240L ( C230 ). If you could get your hands on one of those, oh wow, that would be so amazing. Greetings from Germany

Here in the States, The MKII Supra to get is the 1984-1986 models as they had in increase in HP to 160-161 via higher compression and redesigned intake manifold. Only the initial 1982 model had the 145hp engine, in 1983 it increased to 150 and by 1984, again, to the 160-161 mentioned. Those seats were available only on the "Performance" type Supra(you get the fender flares, chunky wheels and tires and the manual transmission) and in the GT-S version of the Celica and AE86 Corolla. Those seat were very popular with thieves, as lots and lots of sporty non-Toyota imports were being equipped with these particular seats.

I remember when the Mark II Celica Supra came out to replace the Mark I. Canada got the Mark I, and what a joy that was. The angular Mark II never seemed quite as graceful a design. Beautiful cars to drive, that is for sure. The Mark III Supra was a whole different kettle of fish as it moved over to share the platform of the Cressida, a luxurious saloon or estate. That helped keep costs down. When Lexus was introduced, Toyota goofed. They made a gussied up Camry, rather than continuing the rear wheel drive Cressida badged as a Lexus. That meant Supra was a stand alone model without the volume to make the engineering a reasonable proposition. As a result, the price went way up and buyers went elsewhere.

That brings back fond memories. My brother had one here in Melbourne, Australia, my sister aa black Celica. I remember the Supra being much the same spec, sans fog lights where the switches were blanks. I beleive the floor pan and engine were the same as the Cresseda, a four door semi luxury saloon - long replaced by Lexus models here. The Supra was such a good car to drive, I was a bit miffed when he sold it for a 1st gen RX7 - in which he replaced the engine with a later one and twin turboed it. It was down right dangerous with the amount of power in such a light body. The Supra - what a nice car, would love one now, but they have completely disappeared.

@piuthemagicman Жыл бұрын

The floorpan is Toyota A meaning Corona/Carina/Celica(Supra). Supra is only stretched between the A-post and front axle for the 6. Even the last FWD/4WD Celicas were based on the Corona/Carina/Avensis/Caldina platform.

I remember reading a review of this car in the car magazine i kept, being 13 years old or so. They talked about powersliding it at 160KM/H, and all sorts of fun things that made a young guy pay attention. This, because i am a child of that time, is peak Supra to me. The MK3 is second on that list. The BMW Zupra doesn't feature at all, but that's another story for another day ;) Much enjoyment was had watching this. Thanks for covering a car i still lust after, when i see one.

I knew; this was the second car I ever owned. Rebuilt it three times, including transmission. It was a rust bucket. The motor could reach 200 km/h, and the electric motors for popping the headlights would get play in them, so the pop-up lights often wouldn't work correctly.
