Hello,supras! I have been contemplating about buying a used Supra(89-92), preferably a turbo model with 5 sp. I wonder if any of you can give me some of your experiences with turbo Supras. Secondly, I am also curious about the "modulation system" button near the dash that's supposed to change the suspension (soft-firm). Does this actually have any real significance? I test drove one and I could barely notice anything different.

Are you sure the TEMS system(Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension) is working? When you change from normal to "sport" you should hear some selonoids clicking, and the dashboard indicator lights should glow.<br><br>FYI on TEMS:<br><br>"Normal" is the softest setting. When you switch over to "sport," the suspension firms up a bit, but will ONLY go into true "firm" mode if the onboard computer senses your car going aroung a turn quickly.<br><br>I, myself, do not notice much of a difference between "normal" and "sport." However, there is a modification outlined at www.supras.com that will tell you how lock your TEMS system into true "firm" mode. <br><br>I can easily tell the difference between "Normal" and "firm."<br><br>As for experience with supras, it's a love hate thing. Because the cars are getting older, it is costing more and more to keep one in good shape.<br><br>When they are working well, the are a truly fantastic vehicle.<br><br>So I guess I love my supra 95% of the time, and I'm annoyed with it 5% of the time. :)<br><br><br>Adam Barry<br>90T 5-speed

Have you had any problems with the turbo? How much does it cost to have it replaced? How fast have you timed it? I read some automotive publication that it went from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. Can anyone give me their fastest time? Also, give me some info on maintainance cost, reliability, and safety.
