    7MGTE coming back to life.

    Decided to go with a quick fix of the head gasket instead of a full rebuild. I miss that car to much aha (ya im attached). Only things on my list after the fix is an exhaust. Either HKS or Blitz, question is do either of them or any exhaust have a deep steady clean rumble? I'm not looking to...

    she never blew...

    Ok so I take the fault and stupidity for this one. It seems my head gasket actually never blew. I only assumed it did because I had the symptoms that cause a bhg.

She's an automatic, but again plan on changing that. Anyways I've always been a big fan of the Supra and im...
