Hey guys I'm pretty into Toyota's I own and DD a 87 mr2 and have been a member of mr2oc for quite a while.
Heres a pic from a recent toyota meet in my area

Ive always been into the mk3 supra for its sleek sharp looks and its legendary status of just being a Supra.

Its a 1990 all stock, one owner car with 166,000 on the engine.

So i took it for its first ride today and it was great not as fast as i expected stock but it has some minors things to take care of.

If you guys could help me out with some questions i have also that would be great!

First off things it needs.

-I know it needs an exhaust manifold gasket cause i can hear/feel it leaking by the last cylinder does toyota still carry the gasket or should i buy from advance auto parts, driftmotion, etc?

-It has a leaky valve cover and the spark plug valley is oil soaked too. Ive read into it a little bit something about a no. 3 cylinder plug? Would it be recommended if advance auto or anyone auto parts place does sell a whole gasket set to just buy that and use everything that is needed?

-The car also needs a clutch and i plan on in the future to add some basic modifications so im trying to plan ahead with the clutch. ive read into it a little bit and heard some mentions about the spec brand and seen the prices are around 400-550 for a stage 1-3. Im just wondering what is recommended for a clutch?

Welcome, Id like to see some more of that mr2, very nice.
Toyota still has all the engine parts you need. We could go on forever about clutches, just decide what your needs are, and some research should suffice. The stock one works well for a stock dd.
