How's it going everyone. Name is Adrian. I've probably owned every type of car out there except one worth keeping. Currently drive a 88 Supra turbo w/ targa. I'm still a DSM guy @ heart but needed a break. I completely pieced the car together myself. Doors, fenders, interior seats, dash.

I re tightened the headbolts however it is just a matter of time before she takes a poop. I'm thinking of going 1jz but I kinda want to keep the 7mgte

Why not rebuild the 7M then? Do a full upgrade on it.

^I would if I had time. I rarely have time for anything (work & school). Only option would be taking her to a shop and letting them do it. I hate paying somebody to do something I know how to.

Nothing warms my heart more than seeing more fellow-DSM'ers find love within the Supra community.... ;) (I was a DSM guy in my teen/younger years).

It's a whole nother beast to work with compared to a 4g63.... and it's a hell of a lot of fun with the smallest of modifications. :) Enjoy, and welcome to Supramania.

Welcome. Looks like you have your hands full. I got lucky and found a keeper about 18 yrs ago.;)
