When I owned my Mk3 (this was 2000-2004) the local Yota dealership loved me and my dad. We both had Mk3's and the parts manager knew us both by first name. Gave us his discount everytime we came in, because, well, we got parts from there A LOT!
My dad especially, he practically bought an entirely new dash/center console setup from Toyota (minus the dash and steering wheel), talking all the bezels, switches, leather boot, etc. etc. That Supra is now 20 ft away, under a cover, awaiting a new motor. 2nd 7M-GE thats been in it threw a rod bearing, overheating like mad from a cracked head.
One of my ideas was waiting an extra year for the FT-86 and buying that Supra off my brother, so I could have a super clean '87 (interior is perfect, completely redone, exterior, NO dings, no dents, just needs a fresh paint job) and do an easy GTE swap. I'm not gonna even tickle the idea of 1JZ, I don't have that kind of money.
Errr, getting way off topic now, lol.
