Yes, I finally got rid of those bling bling wheels. I'm running on spray painted 5 spokes now. Came out REALLY good. Here's a comparison picture:

I ended up taking the center cap off because it's obviously a different material than the rest of the wheel and the glossy black finish of the spray paint didn't stay.

Specs on my Supra: 1991 Supra turbo. Sunroof, 5 speed. Zoon's DDP, 4" cone filter, Turbo XS BOV, PWR Radiator, Spearco Replica intercooler with hardpipes, Aeromotive AFPR.

Blew the head gasket a few months ago.

Some progress I've made in the last three days.

Took the head to get rebuilt. Valves were pretty shitty looking. The deck looks yummy...

You should've seen the wheels BEFORE the black ones.

There is one picture, the bling bling ones. Those were gross.

I wish I had picture of the FMIC installed.

Haha, cigarette relieves Supra stress.

Now that you have ur shit apart, port and polish? You need some head work, epsecially the way you drive it, you need more power. 550s and Lex

Well... looks like the head is no good.

I need to find another head, or just go ahead and buy a new engine.

Anyone local know where I can get either?

I have to undo the tranny and the motor mounts, then the block will be out of the black Supra.

Pretty much the same for the blue one. At the moment I'm trying to find an engine hoist and a stand. I would prefer not to rent one because it's $35 a day and unless I have more than two hands, I won't be able to get both engine and trannies out in one day haha.

Come get your taillights.

Haha I'm trying!

I have to find another set of metric tools now. The guy who lives at the house had to go back to Mexico because he's here on a Visa apparently.
