What the hell :o Just got my Supra turbo yesterday. Dead orginal in almost as new condition with a documented and original 52,000 on the clock. Drives like a new car, smooth, powerful, incredible. The starion has been retired to a shipping container.

Must have been a hell of a tax refund :) :beer

1989, where do i post pics again ? As for my tax refund....Huh ! I was wondering how my accountant did it. Turns out he simply was able to push a heap of income into the next year so in reality I get nothing back just 27,000 of my own money back for a year then I need to pay them. Still better earning 7% in my mortgage than that red headed, large bottomed communist having it and wasting it on pink batts, BER's or outdated NBN's I guess.

If it has a 7m-gte, rip the head off and put a cometic headgasket it in quick smart.

If it's one of the super rare 1jz versions, you're lucky.

Ricethief has one of these in his garage, looking much better than original though

why do the head gasket, do they have a history of blowing the standard ones out ?

Vulpes is yours a 2.5L twin turbo or a 3.0L single turbo?

Yeah, the 7m-gte are bad for doing the head gaskets. Dont think the factory ones are much good. Some ARP head studs might be a good idea too if your going to wind the boost up.

Metal head gasket & arp studs fixes the 7M up :) I wouldn't bother with the metal head gasket without the studs.

They also tend to wear the cam tunnels if they've been caned when cold!

1jz doesnt suffer from these problems :)

I've come across a few JZ motors with BHG's - just not as common as the 7M's but it still happens. What is it with Toyotas and BHGs?
