Lbm Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Nice engine bay. Do you think you'll get a MKIV or are you happy with the MK3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark3 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Nice engine bay. Do you think you'll get a MKIV or are you happy with the MK3? i am happy with the mkiii AND i do want a mk4, lol mk4's are just technicaly better cars! there newer so i spose its obvious, Toyota learned a lot from the mkiii and put it all right with the mk4, although i do love the torque monster that is the 7MGTE engine....get it right and it lights up the rears in 2nd! specially with a n/a diff, lol I got a few other cars too but they not JAP so thought best to keep stumm about them, lol (although one has JAP engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Welcome. Your car looks stunning. I will say I like it but not keen on the white wheels. I love the engine shots, the colour coded body panel strips, clear timing belt cover etc. Really can see you have put a lot of quality work into the car. I used to have a 91 Turbo model myself, still to this day they are great cars and nice to see that the odd nice ones and cherised examples are out there.

Guest SupraTroopa Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Stunner of a mkiii. I had a mkiii n/a before getting my mkiv tt and I loved it. It was nowhere near as nice as yours but then again I did buy mine for £500! I do still have a soft spot for the mkiii and would love to get another. Anyway welcome mate!
