MK 2 Toyota Supra Review | The Japanese Tractor 

Hey guys! I'm the owner of this mark II. To answer some questions: I put 245s on it on purpose. I don't drift or anything so I went for cornering ability. 2JZ yes.... Near future. The muffler is coming off soon have the stock one in my garage. I didn't put that one on that's how it came. Thanks all for the great comments!

I've been driving a Celica Supra an 85 model from 2000 to 2016 and that car is one of the most fun cars ever! in the rain you can drop it and drift around any Corner flawlessly it is balanced for performance a 5 speed on this car is Unstoppable! I have out dragged all kinds of cars and when it comes to weaving through traffic it will pass higher horsepower cars easily. do not underestimate this car it is built to last just add oil.

There's something about these cars. They never get old. I've never owned one, but I have driven one and despite the lack of pure power, it's still a delightful car to drive. It's more about the entire experience rather than the power or performance. This car is the perfect precursor to the Supras that subsequently came after. Glad you guys drove it. If you're looking for someone to drive cars in Eastern Ontario or to contribute to the channel, I would love to contribute. Great reviews. I'm only discovering you guys now.

Inspector Gadget (1980's animated series) rocked tf out of this car!

I just sold my beloved mk2 of 7 years.... miss that car immensely and its only been a month. I will say the mk2's are far far funner in manual, they feel a good bit quicker then they really are. Plus 84 to 86.5 mk2's got 161 hp

The body lines of the celica supra's is just amazing. I will always be a fan of these cars.

i want this car and with 100hp its my favorite i dont care about horses

I always feel a little bit excited when I still see one of these driving around. it's like seeing a -clean- MK3, very rare. a Unicorn of sorts. Great vid!

Love these kind of videos as well, it's always interesting to see the rare less hyped up but very cool none the less cars. Would love to see some rotary love, not a whole lot of channels doing them!

This channel just keeps getting better and better! Great Job!!!

You guys are putting out some amazing content! this channel is gonna be huge one day

I had an '84. Great car. Was all optioned out and pretty amazing the equipment it had for that year. Super comfy. Slow, but handled like it was on rails. Thank God I had the manual!

Well done! You guys have an extremely amazing video production style, I love it!

Awesome video! Loving this channel and all the reviews you are doing =D.. Keep up the great work!

Really like the new intro guys! And gotta love Toyotas ;)

mad props to you bro. I am glad some one is giving these cars some spot light. until 2 years ago i drove a 1980 toyota corolla sr-5 lift back with a 3tc 4 cylinder motor. The bodies on these cars are almost the same. the car had alot of miles on it. i can't say how many cause the speedometer broke and read 76,000. Side note on that. That was back when they would roll over at a 100k. But any way to get on point. the car was a absolute dream to drive. You could truly push the car to its limits around turns and it would just stick. and heck even out handle alot of newer cars. Sure it did not have alot of power. but who needs it when you can have so much fun in it. there is actually a video on my channel. called the my first car contest entry. and it shows my old corolla. Sorry for the long post. but i just love these little cars.

I like the custom bubbling around the rear fender wells. Nice.

bro i love how straight up these reviews are - none of this fluff other channels put on, I want love knowing about cars getting the facts then learning - does it skid or not lol

Bought one of these back in 1999 , from a welsh man in the valleys of wales , it had a bale of hay in the boot 🤣🤣. I got the card completely cleaned up and my gosh what a car . Frigging amazing

Oh thank God! I thought I was the only one who pronounced "Celica" that way! Great video Marcus! Big fan!

This was my first car. It had some kick to it. On a straight line course, it would be toast vs. a muscle car like a Trans Am. But it got off the block well and the handling was tight. If you have or are now living in Austin, TX you are familiar with 2222. When I had the Supra, I used that that road as a LeMans course once or twice.

awesome Supra, love the looks of the MK2 the best

Makes me miss the 84 Celica GTS my mom had when I was just getting old enough to drive. Not fast but it was sure cool looking in it's time.

I just subbed to your channel.. Nice editing and awesome videos keep them coming..

had 2 of these and they were both 5spd. fun to drive around👍😀

I like the review. these cars are indeed fun to drive. And because of the fact that they're not that heavy makes it a cool sleeper when you add a 2JZ or properly done 7M for that matter. I think it's worth it to do a review on a properly done MK2 custom turbo car. That would be awesome.

Timeless look.

Great looking color combo. I don't see many like this. I want one...😁

I have a turbo original engine Mark 2 Supra. Now THAT, is fun!

The quality is superb on your videos. wow

Back in the 80’s, 79 Celica hatchback was my first car I fell in love with. Then I sold it then bought a 83 celica which I later sold it. I miss both cars but I would love to get hands on one of these. I’m almost retired and have free time and cash:). I been looking for a Supra like this or late 70’s Celica! What surprises me the most is how many these cars are driven and restored on the RU-vid but never see out in the roads (Texas)! This car would take me back in time! Btw, you can’t find a decent Supra like yours for 2k. Try 15-20k here in U.S.

digging the new watermark & logo change. ya, I saw that

Thanks for reuploading without the massive drone as I really wanted to enjoy the video. Anyway, good review as always!

I've got this thing about stock cars, or cars close to stock and omg this is beautiful

Another great video! Love your show. Come to Australia and you can take my 86 FC RX7 out anytime

5m&7m are my fave inline 6 engines from toyota, 1J&2Js are great but the sounds that the 5/7m engines make just sounds abit better to my ears, definitely a personal preference but ya just got to love it man :D

British Columbia looks beautiful.

CELICA Supra is luvly :3

excellent!........great film,I always wanted 1 of these

Loved my 82 Supra.. Same color too

I have always liked the looks of these, and there is just something about that high-mounted hatch spoiler that I just love! Suggestions for future episodes? I have a few: have you guys ever done a Mitsubishi Starion? That's one of my favorite eighties cars, and also the Porsche 944 turbo. I also really like the Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3 16 and Saab 900 turbo. Have you driven an Isuzu Impulse with handling by Lotus? The Peugeot 505 turbo is also a long forgotten French treat. As for 90s cars, try a Toyota MR2 turbo (definitely under appreciated!) or a Subaru SVX. I am also a big fan of the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, but I'm guessing you probably tested one of those, already.

Find a single turbo fd rx7 , nissan pulsar Gti-r or older the evos like 5 or 6 along with the wrx sti r or ra those things are errr where. Good edit!

Sadly the hatch on mine is rusting pretty bad :c but I got not time to sand n fix it. But also I'm really happy there's a review on here of the AUTOMATIC transmission, cause the only reason I own mine was because the previous owner didn't want a automatic, which is great for me cause I can't stand traffic with a manual. Also its my cruising car so there's no need for all that power. AND I'm so happy mine has the digital dash, nothing beats jamming to some Future Funk and driving around town with that dashboard glow.

I've got a 1985 Toyota Celica GT-S (which you can vids of on my channel) and it's really cool to see just how similar these cars are. From the a-pillars back, it's the same car!

Way better than most 1982 cars!

I would love for you to review a TE72... Back home in PR... We have TE72 running under 10secs in 1/4 mile with the 3tc engine... And some the swap to rotory engine and some even to 1jz engines. Thanks and love ur channel

One of my favorite favorite cars, it's cheap used and I want this to be my first car

wow im in love i like that car alot and that price i think i found my first project car maby in 4-5 years so looking out for one of them

I had the celica 4 cilenders and the supra 42' so and 84 ,love this cars you can play with any other car and win if you are a good driver

You need to drive a manual and get a look at a minter. Not this run down, rusted, automatic, blue interiored one (although I can appreciate a blue interior, I don't think you do). I recently sold mine, but you can still check out my vids of it on my channel. Please revisit this car. Also, I've never heard that the seats have anything to do with Recaro. These are proper Toyota manufactured seats. Best sports seats in its class and era. The 4th gen Celica had an electric version. Recommend viewing EverydayDriver's Fastblast review of the car too.

The guy down my street has a super clean mk2 Supra. When I mean clean I mean no dents no scratches and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was no rust ( haven’t looked under neath of the car) I’ve never even talked to the guy before but boy is it a sight to see going and coming from school.

Mazda 323 GTR! Loved to see you find one of those!

Hey Marcus think you could dig out a toyota starlet EP71 turbo? i would be super impressed if you found one one your continent never mind Canada,keep up the good work !

Can not wait for the MK4 😍

P-Type with an Auto has a 4.10 rear diff ratio. The manual has a 4.30 ratio and is a bit more peppy. i miss my mk2 :(

man I just got a 85 silver that had all the options and a 5 speed manual and swaped 82 5M in her and he'll the tape deck still works

love the new intro :D

I had a Supra when I was 18 in 1983 and as you can imagined, I ruled the road for 4 years spending extra 20k for body kits a and 3 different colors.

The first car I ever learned stick on. Hella fun on dirt roads. It scared me tbh.

I purchased a brand New 1983 Toyota Supra with a 5 speed gearbox. Mine was New & Fast as any BMW at the time & I also owned a 1986 325es but liked the Supra better. My Supra had every available option you could order. The car was extremely comfortable but on hard corners the rear end as all Supras do tend to slide as there is no weight at all back there. Fold the back seat down & you have tons of cargo space. I often wonder what happened to all these cars because quite a few were made & the base model Celica came with a 4 cylinder engine. Out of the 28 vehicles I have owned in my life I miss my 83 Supra the most. Back then we didn't have 1000hp street cars so yea this car was considered Fast for a street car in the 1980s. "Long Live The Supra"💛

It looks awesome. 'Nuff said.

“Seelicka” lmao

Would love to see you do a Mark 1 :) Come to Ontario and you can try all 3 of mine ;)

Awesome Review, I'll take a momentum driving style car over raw horsepower any day. I race a bone stock E30 BMW and generally seem to look like I'm having more fun than the guy trying to keep a modern Corvette under control :P

Great video! Love these cars! I'm currently doing a restoration/build of one on my channel!

If you could get a Toyota Soarer, it would be a nice comparisons to the Supras. Also seeing any older Z's would be nice :)

Best looking supra for me❤️

This was my first car but manual transmission love that car

This was my first car that I ever owned!

At 2:25 you said the L and P are identical besides the gauges and fender flares/spoilers. The Performance edition had different suspension tuning and a LSD.

Used to have one of these... They are slow as hell, but do good burnouts :)

wow memories , i learned to drive manual in this car

You should track down a second gen turbo MR2. I've heard interesting things about the suspension setup in that car which is extra interesting when factoring in the weight distribution of the "mid engine." I would love to see what you guys make of one of those. Especially a modded one or one with an anti-lag setup. Cheers. Keep up the good work.

what a lovely car!

I had one of these, an 82 supra...white with the terracotta co;or interior and killer seats.. when i say Killer seats , i mean they were aweful and Killed my back like no other seats ive ever had..looked nice with the big seat wings but the lumber was not oriented to help ur back, but instead destroy it.. u dont notice that they are bad right off but believe me, sit in them a few months and u will be crying for a chiropractor!.. i loved the look of that car, what a hunk,big solid beefy and masculine..slow by todays standards.. even my 94 probe gt would eat it alive...i noticed the lack of a timing cover, and God it looks so easy to do the timing belt on an engine where the belt is forward in the car instead of sideways... cool car, i miss mine, but dont think i would want it today anymore

it was a fast car back in the 80's, especially for a Japanese car although all the ones I drove back then we're manual trans.

when u guys are reviewing supra mkiv??

Yes, I can agree with the part where you said Dry vs wet traction with 245s in the rear. In dry conditions, obviously, the 245 grips like a bitch on my Mk3 supra. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that during a small shower one day, I would not get traction. I pressed the throttle to around 3/4 of the way while turning and I hydroplaned the shit out of the car and slowly approached a tree perpendicular to the road. Lol. my car basically made a T in respect to the road. I hit the tree but shit, only left spider marks on the plastic bumpers. To be honest, the drift was pretty cool until I hit the tree xD

Can you do 2jz swaps on these mark 2's

I own a 1984 5speed and it has a lot more power on take off than that and it's stock as well

What's the song when he's talking about the 1000HP supra?

Its still fun

Celica is pronounced Cell-ic-ka not Sil-ik-a.

Hello! please help me find rear lights for my toyota celica supra a60

I had (3) mark 2's 84', 86', and a targa top 87'. My 84' looked identical to this with exception to mine had the Digital dash and was a standard 5speed tranny.

my favorite Supra of our time

The boxy design from the 80's is cool. What doesn't work on those cars is the oversized matte black plastic bumpers. Getting rid of them or painting them body color makes a car look better.

Where in BC was this filmed? Our family is looking for acreage in the province where I grew up.

Do you have any other JDM classics scheduled for filming? Hakosuka, Datsun Z any other really old school cars?

throwbak,good 1

Thats a rare nice looking hatchback car

I have this car but as a project car. Don know if I should sell it?

Hey! I have a car crew here in Surrey! Hopefully See ya at the RevScene Summer meet?

reminds me of my 85 celica gts

Have you guys done celicas

I had a 84 Mk2 with a lowered Bilstein suspension. It was a 5 speed manual, and automatic is a waste of time in that car. You had you have control of the gears to wring the most out of that car. That car was a lot of fun. It was very nicely balance and THRIVED on the mountain back roads. It was a very satisfying ride because you had to develop real driving skills to get the most out of it. Mechanically, it was bulletproof. The clutch took a real beating, but stayed strong. I will always love that car. If you a taller guy, I would pass on it. I think this car caused a bad problem because I had to put the seat at a steeper angle to un-wedge my head from the roof. I didn't care, it was a real drivers car.

Im buying this car soon

u need to make vidoe of a modifed volvo 744 or a 945 :P

Where was this filmed?

I want one of these with a small block v8 in it
