![](http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w482/ginge88/S1051139.jpg) i thought i would post up a few pictures of my car. it's a 1987 toyota supra mark 3 manual non turbo. i've owned this for around 10years and was my daily car for about 6 years. it's just been driven, used and abused. it's not really a project car, it's just one of my favourite toys. ;D i only stopped using when i had a career change that required a four door car. thanks for looking! glen ![](http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w482/ginge88/S1051140.jpg) ![](http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w482/ginge88/S1051143.jpg) ![](http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w482/ginge88/S1051144.jpg)

hi there yes i know the body is a bit tatty, its no show car. however the chassis/sills/wings are solid its mainly the arches that have the rust as i said its just been used and abused the bhp is 200bhp.this is the non cat/early model ie up to 1988 approx after this the non turbo is around 180 i think. power is fairly smooth ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

I've extensively driven both the N/A and Turbo manual versions of these cars (thanks to a best mate who has a serious Supra problem), and i personally reckon for fun if not outright speed the N/A wins, it's got superb linear power delivery, endlessly torquey just pulls like a train in any gear any revs.. for blatting arounf B roads or just general hooning a N/A especially with uprated cams is a superb laugh..

I've owned 5 of these now (still have 2), be very careful about the rear arches - they like to rot away on the inners as well. If you need help locating any parts, let me know ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you

Reggy - take the speaker boxes out the rear, have a look. Keep fingers crossed while you do it ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Glen - just so you know, all N/A's were 204bhp, even the ones with the Cat fitted. Turbo models were 232-234bhp (depending on year) The only 3.0 litre M series with 180-190hp was the 6M-GE fitted to JDM Toyota CROWNs.

Mica red nice colour - was dropped with a few other colours when Turbo was launched Reggy - take the speaker boxes out the rear, have a look.

tali - uhm....considering all the documentation here says otherwise (official toyota datasheets), i'm skeptical as to that 184hp figure. Where did you get that figure from? 7M-GE's made 204hp, and 185lb/ft of torque at 4800rpm.
