for some reason the facebook link is just taking me to my general events/birthday page, is the link broken or something? i couldn't find the event in the search bar either... :(

Okay yeah thats what I was thinking too, that it shouldnt be too bad, and they dont look too much bigger than stock, except one of the wheels looks like shit cause a chunk of the center bore isnt round cause his die grinder broke. Idk why he didnt just get spacers or something. But I got the...

I bought some n/a mk4 wheels for cheap with great tires on them, but the previous owner had used a die grinder to make the center bore a little bigger to fit on something else. I believe a ford ranger. I bought them for my mk3 but since he enlarged the center bore, this would make the wheels...

and it sealed correctly cause when we first put it on it was totally fine and i didn't smell a thing except in the morning when i let it warm up, but the gasket was real fragile iirc and a couple other gaskets i've replaced since i got it up and running have totally fallen apart on me too. when...

okay thanks for the feedback guys i haven't had a chance to take a real good look underneath to see if anything else is leaking, that's just my suspicion that it's that gasket cause i can smell exhaust when i've got the hood open too, and it's strongest where the turbo meets the downpipe. and...

so i have an exhaust leak that's beginning to annoy me. i can smell exhaust in the cabin pretty much all the time, and when i put my downpipe on we just reused the old gasket from the stock exhaust. couldn't find much on details about good replacements though, and obviously Toyota thinks its a...

nice man i do really like that stance you have! ill be looking into getting some of those when my current setup wears out i ended up up cleaning up the suspension system that came on my shell when i bought it, and the springs and shocks were so dirty i didn't realize they weren't stock! so...

okay so i've done quite a bit of research but figured i would ask just to be safe since a lot of the threads i looked at just kinda died and didn't give too clear answers, or many possible issues... i drove my car approx. 150 miles, by the time i got to where i was going whenever i put her in...

the fronts will be 16x7 +16 with some 225 tires on them, rears are 16x8 -12 also with 225's on them, but will be upgrading to 245's at least soon. pic shows the 16x8 on the front of the car. the 16x7's sit pretty flush on it, poking out just a little bit.

alright so i have a couple questions about a potential setup for my car. i've looked quite a bit on the forums so far but still haven't found all the answers.. so the shell i bought to swap everything into had some tokico illuminas that look like they are still pretty good, and provides a...

what are the benefits to decking the block? and why would there a be a problem if there wasn't one to begin with other than the factory head gasket problem itself?

correct... when we pulled it apart, the head gasket was stretched between cylinders 1 and 2, and also from 5 and 6, but was not comepletely blown.. there was no oil and coolant mix, and it ran perfectly up until the pull. i understand that is a relative term though, since it is my first 7M that...

yeah no coolant mixed with the oil at all, the engine was pulled because the car was wrecked, and since it was out decided to fix the leaks and do the head because it was all original with 96000 miles. head gasket ended up being worse for wear anyways, so it was a good thing we did it. thats...

so my question to the Supra community is what would the break-in process for my motor be, with the major parts of my rebuild being an entire resealing of all the gaskets, top and bottom end, shaving the head, and installing a metal hg with ARP rods and studs? like many others, i have searched...

Ok so ive done some research looking around, and i think what i have picked out will work but i wanted to ask and make sure. sportmax xxr 521 wheels 18x8.5 +25 in front, 18x10 +25 they also make them with a +35 offset for the 8.5 and a +12 for the 10 inch wheels. for tire sizes i wanted...
