    Illinois: Experienced Supra Owner Needed for Head Gasket Repair

    Looking for someone experienced to guide me through HG replacement. So far, I do not think the HG has blown; just want to get this done as preventative maintenance. Looking to use OEM HG, ARP hardware and to do the timing belt and water pump. I would also do anything that your experience...

    HG replacement help/pricing

    I think the composite HG will be fine for my power needs. I guess I just felt like if I could get the MHG done it would just be more peace of mind. After reading some of the issues, I'm not so sure that doing the metal one is such a good idea. It seems some people have had major issues...

    HG replacement help/pricing

    Absolutely, i'd love to go this route. I feel like I would be missing such a big learning experience by not participating. I guess I will expand this thread to also be a search for anybody who might be able to help me. I would much rather pay a fellow supra owner than a shops overhead...

    HG replacement help/pricing

    I'll fly you out here and give you a place to stay!!! Seriously though, as I offered in my introduction post, if anybody with experience can help me, I will compensate appropriately. I wasn't saying I needed and experienced shop to do it, that is just where I got my numbers from.

    HG replacement help/pricing

    I used the search tool, to no avail. It seems like pretty much everyone on here goes the DIY route when attending to the HG. I have not been able to find anybody willing to help me in my area, and I am not comfortable tackling the job by myself. I was wondering if anybody knows from...

    new way to tie shoes

    Well, that depends on your definition of fake - it's a magic trick! Real easy trick to learn, but take a couple minutes to get your execution down. Remember, it is essential to do the buildup to make sure everyone is looking down (otherwise they will see your arm twitch when you pull up.)...

    new way to tie shoes

    Trick is VERY easy to perform. There are a few different ways (especially on video), but the best way to do it is as follows: As with most tricks, the delivery is the most important aspect to making it believable. 1. Shoe is tied but the bow is tucked behind your pant leg. 2. Another...

    yeah, another new guy

    Yeah, I'll definitely keep my eye out for any meets. I love seeing what others do with their supras. As far as my car, it is very clean. The biggest fault I can find with it is the paint job. The paint itself is new and decent, but it looks like it was not prepped as well as it should be...

    yeah, another new guy

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I plan on keeping this one for quite a long time. I have finally come to terms with my addiction to these cars. I appreciate all of the information on this site. As I said before, I need to get the LSD done right away and feel like I should also do a HG...

    yeah, another new guy

    Well, I have finally picked up another Supra! This is my third Supra, but I haven't had one for about 8 years. Like the other two, I paid too much AND there is alot of work to be done. The wheels are new Ultraleggera's, and I know I'll get hounded because I went with a wheel w/o a...

    New Supra, noob questions

    So, is the OEM headgasket a suggestion because it will seal properly without milling, etc.? Any idea on how many hours it should take? I am not entirely opposed to doing work myself, but the degree of difficulty would be the main issue. I can follow instructions without a problem, but would...

    New Supra, noob questions

    Would this involve getting the head/block machined? Or is this only necessary if the HG has already been compromised?

    New Supra, noob questions

    Let me first say that I really appreciate all of the great info on this forum. I am not exactly new to the supra world, but it has been about 8 years since my last mk3. Anyway, I have never had a problem with a HG before thanks to the fact that my previous Supras were already outfitted by...
