    7mge issues

    First off, I recently tore it down. It has new gaskets through out, new head gasket, arp head studs torqued to 90 foot pounds. No oil in the coolant, no coolant in the oil.

    What is this?

    Hey guys, I have a quick question. I have a '87 7mge in my '82. It runs great, has plenty of torque, yet smokes like a coal train. I cannot figure out why it is running so rich. If I pull 1st or 2nd gear up too many rpm's, it floods out, and dies. I have to pull over, crank it for about 30...

When I go out to start my car every day, it has to spin over for a while before it will start. Once it does start, you can shut it off, and start it easily as many times as you like. But, if...

    Georgia Summer Supra Meet

    I couldn't find a more fitting place to put this. Mods: Move this if you feel the need to place it elsewhere. I've been a member here for a while, but haven't had anything interesting to say, so I've been quiet a while. The Georgia meet is scheduled on June 13th, 2009 at the Tugaloo state...
