Hey Guys, What Do you Really Like about Your MKII/ And what do you not like about it?

My Like list: For an '85 this Car handle's really well, It's different,
It look's good, It was pretty cheap to buy, It's decently quick for it's age, and considering i Only Paid $1,400 for it couldn't ask for much

Dislike's: Almost NO Aftermarket, Need to cure a couple rattle's, need to fix the rear brake's, The Original 5M-GE with 183,000 mile's is a litttle tired need to get somthing fresher put in.....
and I wish it could transform into an awsome MKIV, GOD I LOVE MKIV's lol....Just trying to keep this board going..

I'll steal Wade's format.

Likes:
- oversteer (hanging the rear-end out is too much fun)
- good torque at speed (balanced torque, hp numbers)
- stunning good looks (with the exception of the rear)
- the look of the stock rims
- reliability and ease of maintanance
- cost (at $2700 if I wreck it I can just get another)

Dislikes:
- 14" rims (I like how they look though) and commensurate tire locating problems
- the rear of the car
- lifter noise ("ticking")
- leaky cam tower seals
- poor gas mileage
- poor speaker staging

 

[Wade]

Hrm, Quick you should be getting good milage like at least 25mpg unless you got a heavy foot.

Oh ya and my favorite dislike would be anything having to do with the wiring or anything having to do with taking out the dash.

 

[Guest]

Likes:
Has "Super Sleeper" capability.
One word...DRIFT!
7" wide wheels STOCK
Big steering wheel.
Good looking body.
Flip-up headlights.
The ability to Turbo(5M)
The ability to swap(7M )

Dislikes:
The seats!(always make my back hurt on long trips)
Speaker locations.
140 HP stock.
Honda's asking, "is it turbo?" then having to tell them no.
RUST!
8 foot longer shifter.
8 MM offset.
That ticking noise.
White smoke!
However, most of these things will be fixed soon.

Overall, I am very pleased with my MKII. I wouldn't trade for anything except an MKIV.

Well, no wonder! My foot is made of lead (after driving the MkIV)... perhaps that's the problem.

[Guest]

Likes:
smooth refined ride
neutral handling
too many little cool features
friggen awesome seats
beautiful lines(I feel bad for the CelicaXX owners - the P-type rules)
potential for killer power(with swap of course =)

Dislikes:
damn hatch noises
ass squat(eibach will fix that)
fogging in the winter
that toyota didn't turbo the 5M from the start
oh and no ABS...would be nice b/c I have spun quite a few times =)

Honestly, the Mk2 supra was the first and only car I have ever wanted... Saw it and fell in love... and now I have two. One is a fast rusty brown 84 and the other is a mint blue 82 with a dying motor(future 7M or 2Jz swap).

My Likes and Dislikes

Likes: The 4 wheel Independent suspension, front and rear discs, the cool lookin 80's hi-tech Supra steering wheel

Dislikes: The rust, the 265,000 reading on the odometer, my interior(ya its ripped apart),and how my hood has no prop to keep it up


Most like of all: The 250 dollar price tag

 

[Guest]

What I love
Beautiful Body style.. It just looks cool!
Spoiler, airdam & wheel flares
Good-looking stock rims
Handles well
Flip-up headlights
Rare car
Bulletproof engine
Low end torque & good acceleration
Low gearing makes for decent 0-60 times
Easy to work on
Easy to convert to 7MGTE (don't know from experience but I will soon)

What I dislike (hate is a bit extreme)
Parts are getting hard to find
Very little ater-market parts
Rust-prone rear hatch
Front wiper motors seem to fail a lot
Climate control is poorly designed
Tiny, crappy OEM speakers

 

[Guest]

Likes: handling, styling, bulge in hood, fender flares, decent power

Dislikes: black rear hatch, 14 in rims, could use more hp

I sold my 86.5 N/A to get this 82 P-type and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

 

[Guest]

57000miles? That is sooo nice - is the car still in near mint condition? I picked up a mint 82 last year but with 140xxx miles and a sad engine....

You planning any upgrading?

Also, do you know if there will be a Midwest MKII meet next year?

Scott

 

[Guest]

The car looks brand new minus 2 small rust spots, one by the gas cap and one in the drivers door jam. The only performance upgrades I've done is the aaron garney intake and a flowmaster muffler. It's light blue with a dark blue interior. I paid $4,500 for it. Also, I don't if there is a mid-west meet or not.

the friggin 85mph speedo pisses me off sooo much every time i look at it what the hell was toyota thinking in 82'. other than that its the most reliable best looking car ever and i really love my sunshade thingy on the rearwindow, how eighties-esque.
