The history of this famous car started back in 1982 when Toyota completely redesigned model of the Celica and provided the new version of the machine in-line 6-cylinder engine. Fully independent suspension on all wheels, disc brakes, a luxury saloon. In general, many have worked over filling, and not only to Toyota. Suspension design and customize the company Lotus. These things called the brainchild of Toyota Celica Supra. In 1984 he held a light restyling, resulting in engine power 5M-GE increased from 145 to 160 hp 1985 was the last model year of this unit. Next Celica had lost the word in the title and became known as simply Toyota Supra. From this point already, in fact, began to spread among the wealthy car experts and enthusiasts drive. Do not dwell on the right-hand drive versions, although they were in high demand outside the European part of Russia. Still, Moscow Supra owners were men of relatively affluent, and therefore preferred to drive with a familiar hand. Toyota withdrew its sports car for all markets. To the domestic - by itself, there are also versions for Europe, the USA and the Middle East. But we Japanese do not like! How else to explain that 70 of the body, which was issued in 1986, at rodien offered 6 engine options: 1GEU, 1GFE, 1GGEU, 1GGTEU, 1JZGTE, 7MGTEU, but on the other - only two: 7MGE and 7MGTE. Despite this unfairness, Supra MA70 in the body has gained universal love in the narrow circles of fans. About this version of the car and will further the story, as was pretty tight to talk to her. The next version was, of course, faster, better and more powerful, but the first financial crisis of August inexorably approaching, so read the JZA80 failed. Moreover, we had to part with MA70, since the car was just too expensive. The difference between 7MGE and 7MGTE for "horses" seems to be small - 204 and 235 horsepower, but torque engine with two turbines, installed by the scheme Twin-Turbo, puts everything in its place. Torque, respectively, 254 and 334 nm, and this is serious. In the time of issue of this machine was not yet turbines with variable geometry, so in spite of a progressive system with two turbines that switch in series, all on-site: and turboyama and turbopodhvat. The strongest feeling of the car owner expect when you turn on the second turbine - firmly hold the steering wheel. On a slippery road when carelessly handling the gas pedal A serious drift the rear axle. Six cylinders in line - a good thing, Toyota is very long but uses a similar layout scheme on its rear wheel drive units. Inline-six - a thing, by definition, very reliable, almost neubivaemy and afraid of only one - overheating. After increasing the number of valves per cylinder, up to 4 improved work processes, increased horsepower and torque. And one more pleasant phenomenon - cylinder head has become wider, as now two camshafts, respectively, harder. However, for Europe and not offered previously is no row "sixes" manufacturing concern, the two power units Supra - the first signs (I'm afraid, and the last one). It is clear that most advanced users inclined to the turbo version. Acceleration is much more fun, and habits of this sports car without any newfangled ESP does not leave anyone indifferent. It is interesting that as the transmission is often used to turboversiyah 4-speed automatic, but thanks to a good time engine and automatic transmission sport setting is very little inferior to "mechanics" in the dynamics of dispersal and everyday use. It's no secret that in the 90's few have had the opportunity to buy a new car, why buy second-hand copies. In general, the clear opinion that it is better - manual transmission or automatic transmission and have not developed, because the engine with automatic transmission "ditch" is much more complicated, and Supra - not the car, which made traveling slow. Quality Toyota is famous throughout the world, so that in time could be purchased badsome not particularly "worn" copy. The body, of course, checked in the first place. Few cars were not broken at all - not a model. But between the broken wing and bent spars difference is quite significant. Better, surely, to stay on the first option. True, the appeal of the Supra was so large that it took and in totally "dead" state under the subsequent recovery. The chassis for the time is very progressive. Ahead - double wishbones, rear - independent suspension. Along with classic rear-drive layout is granted a combination of an unforgettable experience on the road, and a powerful motor makes you feel superior to its neighbors downstream. Already traveled by road in Moscow at the time coupes and sedans are more powerful than the Supra, faster standing start, but after 140 km / h to compete with sports karom Toyota, no one was able to. Owners of these units, as well as every Japanese manufacturer released at one time something like this - Mitsubishi 3000GT, Nissan 300Z, expecting a serious problem - lack of spare parts not only in Moscow but also at Autohaus Germany. As one of the managers for the sale of spare parts, ride the Supra - means getting ryukshtandt each ordered parts. Owners of rare cars knew the value of the German word - lack of detail in Germany, followed by orders from the country of origin. Such a process often drags on for several months that the owners of the rarities of joy is not added. Maintenance of such equipment is always poured a lot of money, the details are almost never coincide with the "civilian" versions. Moreover, what to buy is problematic, yet prices bite. At one time, Japanese manufacturers have made models most maintainable. For example, in the control arm is almost always possible to change as the silent-blocks, and ball joints. Now, apparently learning from their colleagues from Germany, in the Land of the Rising Sun has gone the opposite process. First results can already be seen in the model Supra - silentblocks front lower arms do not change, the upper arm can be changed only rear. In general, I bought an expensive car - not saving on maintenance. For those times are not particularly wealthy owners of used cars like the course the manufacturer was extremely unpleasant. Now, of course, talking about the Non-Repair Supra simply not necessary. Many everyday consumer brands are now forced to change the whole nodes in the collection. But if you remember how much it was necessary to wait for each ordered item, it becomes clear why the adherents of Supra stayed a few fanatics. Expensive to have a similar machine. In the pros - excellent handling and dynamics, in the negative - the cost of maintenance. Old powerful sports car without any electronic "zamorochek" gave "pristine sense of happiness" from the possession and control. Now meet on the road Supra, and even in the 70-m body, it is unlikely. Body JZA 80 can still be seen anywhere on the "Autoexotics or competition drag racing, but still - few of them left. Time passes, and the last modification released in 1998. Of course, Supra said the word in automotive history. One thing is certain - there are willing to have a machine with sufficient income to restore and maintain such a unit.
