Hi all Looking for abit of help as im going to have alook at a MK3 Supra on Weds What do i need to look out for? I heard head gaskets are a problem? its a 1988 with 113k and full service if it's decent should hopefully be at Oulton Parks next DWYB day Thanks
hg are a prob but as long as they have been retorqed and checked during its 20 yr life they should be ok on an N/A also the other weak pont is old thermostats and rod knock where the rod bolts strech or break over time causing bearings and other bits to fly about. type; rod knock into you tube these are the common weak parts but mine was a turbo if you cant find any fault on inspection make sure you take it for a long drive through all gears get it warmed up properly any strange noises. because guaranteed like me as soon as you start revving the bollocks off it on the track as i did you will find the weakest link goodbye
Check the back lights as well. The foam gaskets behind them are cack, and you can find a fair old rusty mess in behind there.
