Hey Zack, it was great meeting you and I'm glad you enjoyed driving my pride and joy - you might get a kick out of the fact that I had to send her right back to the mechanic the very next day, haha! (not your fault) Thanks for coming down to review her!

@Tomcat115 Год назад

Nice car! I have one in the exact same color and year! If you don’t mind me asking, what did you replace your differential with? Mine is starting to howl when going at highway speeds.

@alphamaledriveshard Год назад

Sweet. Mine's an 83 L-type. But with a 7MGE for that extra oomph. Also has a 5 speed, LSD and the 8 way seats. My diff too makes a mild howl between 70 and 90 mph. Really quiet above and below those speeds. Curious to know what diff you're using.

@jde4866 Год назад

@@Tomcat115 Thanks! Well, with the noise I would first replace the carrier and pinion bearings, but if you wanna go ahead and replace the whole carrier, I'm using a Detroit Tru-trac helical gear LSD that is 'supposed' to be in a 4runner, turns out the 7.5" diff is the same between the cars, the only issue is that the CV axles don't quite reach in far enough and I had to send the carrier to a machinist to remove a little bit of material to allow the axles to properly "snap" in, else you run the risk of them leaking everywhere or potentially popping all the way out.

@jde4866 Год назад

@@alphamaledriveshard very cool, was thinking about that swap but I like the 2 valve 5M noise too much. See my other comment for diff specs

@Tomcat115 Год назад

@@jde4866 I see. Thank you! I’m not gonna replace it right away. I’m probably gonna try to fix it first, but I just wanted to know my options in case I do replace it in the future. Anyways, thanks again for the advice!

@Medliving Год назад

Everybody reviewing the mk 2 Supra always miss the two most interesting 80’s features. The trouble light under the hood on the passenger side and my favourite the built-in light in the centre console attached to the phone cord.

@oblivianation9759 Год назад

I have a 83 with 54k original miles. Original r13 air-conditioning blowing icecubes. I love this car. Runs like it's brand new.

@michaelharrison1172 Год назад

Best looking Supra of all the generations. The crazy spoiler, fender flares, pop up headlights. Just the most iconic 80's car in my opinion.

@MichaelCescato 8 месяцев назад

@Ike3165 Год назад

My Aunt bought a new one in 1983 and my Mom got a Celica GT-S notch back new the same year. They were fun to drive on winding curvy roads as they handled so well, but that six cylinder was definitely more fun.

@Where_is_Waldo Год назад

My older sister's '84 Celica GTS had the same seats, flares and wheels. I loved the pump up cushions in the seats.

@willyhwang1059 Год назад

the design of this car, on the exterior, always struck me as a Picasso painting. a puzzle put together of funky pieces with sharp edges still cool though

@bazilwreckerloughead Год назад

I love that car. My wife (who just started watching these) informed me the other day that my 2016 Toyota Carolla Sport would fail the 'big friggin bottle test'!

@mikefelgenhauer773 Год назад

One thing that was not shown but a cool fact is the rear washer fluid bag. On the passenger side in the truck area, remove the panel and there is another small panel that pulls out. Once that is removed you will see a plastic/rubber bag that is for the rear wiper washer (this car has the wiper removed). The nifty thing is the small panel that is removed to access this bag is used to fill the bag.

@hollybirge4087 Год назад

I have an 85 Celica and I agree about about the driving experience. It’s so analog and also so easy at the same time. And I am always floored at just how comfortable the driver seat is. FYI. Those of us that have Celicas call the emblem a dragon.

@sbcee2220 11 месяцев назад

Love this car. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking how cool it looked. Josh, what a good looking car! Thanks for letting him review it. Zach, I don't think you like it, but I do get that Chris Farley feeling that makes me smile every time you do one.

@robertsullivan4773 Год назад

Owned an 84 seven years traded it in for a 91 legend coupe. Both were tied for the best cars I ever owned and that excludes my 97 NSX which is great. You did a nice review. Only criticism is you saying it's not fast. Your too young to realize what was around back then for the money. This car gave you better fun performance than all the American junk running around and killer quality

@wilknapp879 Год назад

I've got an 82 supra. It's got the 85mph speedometer, the antenna in the windshield, and the badges that just say "Supra" under the dragon. I love driving mine all over the place.

@toyotamansam8191 Год назад

Love the feel of the suspension in the p-type; it was actually touted as being Lotus-tuned suspension. Definitely has body roll but still manages to feel firmly planted.

@nutbastard Год назад

The MR2 and the Corolla FX of all things also benefited from Lotus suspension design. I had a Corolla FX with the 4AC, total base model, pretty much gutless. But I shamed more than one sports car owner on winding mountain roads by staying in their rearview until the brakes faded, because the FX was just tossable. Turn the wheel and it will obey, it will stick, and it will stay square. And after all, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.

@bubblecar2172 Год назад

You should give an 84/85 RA64/RA65 Celica GT or GTS to compare the two. The 84 and 85 are the ones with EFI, and are the ones you want. And the GTS has the independent rear, 4 wheel vented disk brakes, and 3.90 rear gearing compared to the 3.42 rear. Another quick thing, the Celica and Supra badge is supposed to be a viking ship or longboat. The name Celica means "of the stars" or "heavenly" so it's like a space-ship of sorts. At least that my interpretation of the two. I own two kouki RA65 Celicas, and they're absolutely great. Would love to see a review comparing them against an MA61 Supra.

@agautomotive Год назад

I love the Celica Supra. It's one of my favourite cars. The shape, the era. It's so cool. Nice video Zack. Keep it up

@zone47 Год назад

I was crazy about those cars in the 80s. I had a red 83 sport/5 speed with black leather but my favorite one was a black 84 sport 5 speed with cloth interior... it was mint with only 40K miles when I bought it. The 84 had some nice upgrades both for interior and exterior, plus 10 more horsepower. I kept that one for 5 years and then found a beautiful show room looking burgandy 86 (not the 86 1/2) with gray leather seats... still the sport version but this one had an automatic which I wasn't as crazy about. All of them had sun roofs which I really enjoyed. I drag raced the black 84 and it ran a best of 16:30 at 84 mph which wasn't too bad for the 80s. I was worried about breaking the rear end if I launched it too hard but it held up ok. The main thing is they looked as good as they drove which was great!!

@rushnerd Год назад

A bought a MK3 Supra last year, absolutely in love with it and making it look it's best has been a massive undertaking. I love driving her so much that these Celica Supras must be a ton of fun to cruise in. Both gens look absolutely stunning.

@ukaszProstacki9 Год назад

My dream car and also since recently, my own car! Mine is a red EU spec with 5M-GE. Can wait to get it on the road, but it's getting little closer by each day. Amazing review, very close to my heart.

@MrHubb1 Год назад

Awesome car. I wish I had one. In Australia when I grew up in the 80s the Celica of this shape got pretty popular. As far as I know Australia didn't get this Supra version as I never saw one.

@lundsweden Год назад

Yes, we got this version as well as the more shovel nosed Celica.

@Medliving Год назад

Interestingly, the only other Mk 2 Supra other than my Canadian one that I’ve seen that had the rims in black was a right hand drive Australian one. Huh! Always thought a previous owner painted them.

@mikeross801 Год назад

My 85 l-type with all the p-type options had a full size spare that was the alloy that matched the rest of the wheels I always thought that was pretty cool! And the power door locks button was up with the windows on mine the front switch behind the gear shift with the fog light switch and the middle one was a coin tray and the rear one was the rear wipers on this one so what either didn't have a power lock button or it didn't have the fog light or rear wiper switch in the same location. I got a fog light switch out of another Celica and placed it in the center rectangle cut out where the change holder was and wired it to the brake lights so I could turn the brake lights off and go into stealth mode 😎

@davidparkin9017 11 месяцев назад

The ashtray is long because that is where everyone put their tire pressure Guage. Notice alot of interior plastics turned to dust. The best thing about the Supra is the configuration, that is the layout. Inline dohc 6 cylinder, edging its way up to 3 litres, 5 speed manual, heavy clutch, LSD rear end, GT coupe with outstanding reliability, quality construction and easy to service. If you bought a white P Supra, you could pretend you were driving the Lotus Esprit from James Bond - Spy Who Loved Me.

@davidvaughn7778 Год назад

I had an 83 Celica GTS non Hatch. Loved that car, but always wanted a Supra. Those P type seats always adjusted to me perfect. My Celica 22R was so worn out, I'd love to drive a fresh rebuild.

@rushnerd Год назад

The seats in this thing and the MKIII Supra are no doubt some of the best car seats ever made and they look amazing too. I'm a big enough dork with my MKIII that I almost want an MKII now as well, but I spent SO much money and time fixing up my MKIII that I don't think I could take anymore lol.

@JohnnyRoku Год назад

Great review zack! I was looking forward to watching this one when I first saw it on the review list.

@wlb136724 Год назад

My 83 P Type has been down for the count for over a year now and seeing a fresh Mk2 video really helps me reaffirm my love for Mk2s. They're not fast at all, but super engaging and all analog. The steering has a nice weight to it and as somebody else said, they roll a bit in bends, but never get bend out of shape.

@willyhwang1059 Год назад

please review the first gen Celica/Supra if possible.

@thirdpedalnirvana Год назад

"That inline six appeal of (*hand motion*) you know what I mean?" Me, owning two inline six cars: "Not very articulate but... Yeah I do know what you mean" They aren't peaky, the torque comes in smoothly and strong, they just make an amazing sound, are happy at any rev, are unbelievably smooth as the revs climb. V6's tend to have a fat midrange power bump and fall off. Flat sixes tend to need some revs to get their juices going. Inline sixes just have this always ready and always willing feeling. A bizzare combination of high rotating mass because of the long crankshaft and paradoxical zippiness despite the long crankshaft.

@gregmercil3968 2 месяца назад

I remember when my grandmother bought a white 1985 Supra brand new. At the time, as a 5 year old I thought it was so cool because to me it resembled a space ship.

@wwlittlejOfficial Год назад

One of the hottest cars of the 80's point blank. Not a major speed of handling demon but attitude for fucking years. this car IS 1980's at its cocaine fueled finest! My fav parts? Fender flares and those WHEELS, deep concave, bad ass. The front coming at u in your rear view tells u to get out of the way. The stereo was also a serious fav of mine because the Japanese were just wayyy ahead of audio than any other vountry. I LOVE THIS CAR!

@willyhwang1059 Год назад

that's a rare bird today. they were very common throughout the 80s

@joeseeking3572 Год назад

I wanted one of these SOO bad when they came out -but I was in high school and of the, eh-hem, where kids either bought their own first heap or Mom got something new(er) and Jr. was awarded the 72 Torino. (I bought a Honda with fender rust and an oil consumption problem - hey just throw a couple cans of .69/quart rite aid ol in the hatch.....) These things weren't fastest on the block (decent for the era though) but they exuded sophistication and handled very, very well for the day. But then along came the 86 RX-7...

@eleanormassaro5195 Год назад

I was in love with this car back in the 80’s!💖

@LowEndPCGamer100 22 дня назад

honestly, the main reason i want this car is because its RWD, ive found one parked near a friend of mine for sale, gonna look at it tomorrow, claims 70k miles, so if its a stick, i may just buy then and there, given that its an inline 6, it can be daily driven as well, being that these things are known to last if taken care of, definitely ready to get a look at her!

I'd like to find one of those for my MK2 Supra. Since the 2JZGTE swap I did...it will rip all the way to 140 easy. Have a look at my channel if ya wanna see the car.

I don't even care that it's heavy and not that fast, she looks so good and is so well made compared to modern cars. It's all I want to modernize now and keep forever.

@tommynobaka Год назад

This and the A70 are horrendously underrated. Refreshed suspension and bushings goes a long way. Fun to drive, cheap and easily swappable for JZ's and UZ/s Edit: Toyota's badges are very interesting across the JDM models. Each model had their own badge, my favorites being the Mark II/Cresta, Celica Supra, and crown

@rushnerd Год назад

The original badges on the A70 before the refresh look absolutely amazing. Some people don't even know what the car is because it's not exactly obvious from the front.

Not bad for the US market. Emissions really choked performance out of these with catalytic converters, low compression and wrong spark plugs. . The European and Japanese versions made 170hp. In 1984 some revisions gave the US version 160 hp, but by then the EU version was making 182hp. I installed a 200 hp 7MGE in my 83 Supra. Feels fantastic as these things are pretty light.

It's funny because the 300ZX I supposed one-up'd the MKIII supra. My brother actually has one, but I wasn't into cars at the time and now I own a very nice MKIII. I don't think the MKIII (A70) was really designed to compete with anything but the Z car, but with all that peeled away it's one of the best looking cars IMO on the road. Sadly they are very heavy cars even with the more than modest engine power boost.
