Hi im in the market for a 3rd Gen 7 and im wondering what the best year to get is? i mean do some have better charactices to them of some sort? also whats the difference between a R1 and tourning edition and which one would be better to get?
Sorry im new to FD's as you guys call them... previously owned a DSM |
'94 of course
Many of the '93 problems were fixed. Still a variety of options available before they were eliminated in '95. R1 vs. Touring - Depends on what you want the car for. I took a Touring (heavier but quieter) and added R1 (actually R2) parts (spoiler, lip, oil cooler) and Koni adjustable shocks. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif |
they arent that different. i prefer 93 cause it doesnt have the passenger airbag, and i like the base/ r1's cause they dont have a sunroof

95s are the latest and greatest but rare. I think they are heavier though. (correct me please)
|
i would guess 95... a lot of the small problems arent there anymore

c'mon guys, you are all posting the year of car you own the best!! LOL
truth is they all have problems, they all blow engines. Stock the r1 is better due to the stiffer suspention, and dual oil coolers. If you are going to mod the car then it does'nt matter anyway |

color decided the year for me. no whites in 93. i just kept looking (for the better part of 2 years) until i got all the options i wanted. well except for black carpet. It's black now dammit! the only color i would trade mine for is the cym. i like a sun roof though...

Is there really that much difference in weight between the different models and years?

Good luck finding one. Well im deciding on a mkiv supra or a 3rd gen 7. Personally i don't think a 7 could cost nearly as much as a stock MKiv TT supra which is why i like the the 3rd gen 7's Anyway thanks for all the input ill keep my eyes open for one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png |

Anyway thanks for all the input ill keep my eyes open for one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png For a long long time I was saving/waiting for MKIV Supra. Yes, the FD did catch my attention because of the $$$ issue, but the car needs devotion, love, affection.....affection? No, but seriously, learn about these cars and read as much as you can before you take a dive...but it will be well worth it. The way I see it: MKIV Supra= $20k (If that) for the cheapest one worth buying (That would mean a 90-120k mile 6-speed). And it will probably be half-bpu and need small cosmetics. 320hp in a 3400lbs body. FD=$7-8k Blown + $5-7k rebuild is $14-16k. Or buy one with rebuilt motor at similiar pricing. Either way, you are paying $5-6k less (and you could find $10-12k FDs too!) and have much less miles on your engine, and could easily boost yourself to 320hp but this time in a much lighter car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |

okay did the base come with leather interior as an option?

If I remember correctly there is absolutely no difference between 94 and 95 year cars. Get whatever year you happen to find, a good condition 93 is better than an abused 94/95 right? The 93's are old enough that the owners have worked out whatever bugs they had that were not in the 94/95 year cars. As for R1/R2 vs. touring vs. base, the touring will have a sunroof. If you are like me that means you wont fit in it. Base I dont like the seat material, but that is personal preference. Other than that, if you are going to mod it doesnt matter what package you get.
