1985 Toyota Supra from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

The radiator gave out at 215,000 km's. Had it reconditioned.

The master cylinder for the clutch leaked twice, once at 202,000 km's and the second time at 220,000.

The ignition coil slowly 'conked' out (at 220,000), eventually causing a costly string of faults in the ignition system.

Air conditioning unit lost some gas (at 225,000), but this was mainly due to little use.

Power steering sprung a leak at 226,000 km's. Costly to repair.

Beautiful car, really reliable. And when something went wrong with the car, it was usually minor and you could drive for months while it had the problem, (I recommend that you fix any fault as soon as possible though, otherwise it all adds up).

Handles corners really well, but it is not classed as a sports car, as it isn't all that fast acceleration-wise. Get the automatic version if you can find one.

One of the nicest looking cars out there, especially the Aussie compliance model (with the flared wheel guards).

This car was a little thirsty on the petrol (14 litres/Km, or 20 mpg). But it's worth it, and better than the later model Supra's.

Watch out when you have to replace any part, especially if it isn't a part of the engine. The prices are sky-high! (And avoid any car that has a targa top).

I have a 1985 Toyota celica supra stock. I am going to throw a cat-back exhaust on the beast. But my power windows are going out and the driver window does not go all the way up (kinda messy when you wash it) I think I am going to throw a system in it I think. I was just woundering if you or anyone you know can help me pimp out my car. I am going to throw intake on it and anything that increase gas mileage. also my combination switch is broke on my headlamps so I have to fix that. I was also woundering if you was interested in joining a racing team of mine and my friends. the team is called Vanishing Point... we have started up the team a few months ago and we are still looking for new members. We already have about 10-15 people in the group, we also have different chapters in Washington seatle and california. so it's just something to think about if you or anybody have any questions my email is sugman45@hotmail.com thank you.

Nope.
