1988 Toyota Supra Turbo review from North America
"Probably the best high performance car available under $2000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought with blown head gasket.
Bought a JDM engine with blown head gasket.
Replaced the radiator, misc hoses
Blown head gasket after 35000 miles
Two of the three blown head gaskets are believed to be the fault of the garage that I sent it to.
General comments?
Very fast car. Reliable when it doesn't have a blown head gasket. Very good handling in corners. Targa top is very cool during summer.
