    Supra Sounds

    Hello. I haven't posted in ages because my Supra has been sick and stored away. Well I finally figured out the problem just this weekend, and since it was raining, I didn't really get a chance to romp on it much. Woke up today and it was sunny and dry, so I took her for a spin to dial in my...

    7M's willingness to rev?

    This is something that's crossed my mind lately. The Supra loves to go fast, no doubt about that. But how safe is it to bring it up high in the revs?

    Toyota replaced head gasket, should I be concerned?

    I purchased my first Supra last week, and she came with an interesting history. She has 60k miles on it, and the original headgasket blew at 35k. I have the receipts from Sunnyvale Toyota saying that they fixed the headgasket and replaced the shortblock. I've been hearing and reading alot...

    Hello!
