Yup - that's how all the previous meets have gone so far. I've been scoping out the area for good twisty roads too, so I'll be out cruising around after most people have left...
Official Minnesota Supra Meet, July 2011

Hope the best for your guys' meet from a fellow Midwesterner!
I was never PM'd to Sticky the Thread, but I did it anyway (Regardless of having a t-minus countdown of 3 days!)
Post lots of pictures and videos,

Alright souns good... ill probably be there from 11 to 1 or 2 then. Shame to miss the cruise but at least ill be able to pick up the gaskets i need.
What gaskets are you looking for? I don't want to berate SupraSport, but their Manifold -> Turbo Gasket and the Turbo -> Elbow Gasket really aren't up to snuff compared to the OEM Toyota ones. I learned that from experience...
Nothing aftermarket is up to snuff when it concerns those gaskets- I reused mine at least 10 times (way more on the turbo-downpipe one) and they still sealed like a dream! Now- if you're using their S.S. gasket between a Boss turbo and their spacer I think they'd be fine (very clean and machined surfaces). Much better use for the gaskets
so...... no beer in mn.... thats a tragedy....lol.

Plugs at stock power levels work well at .031" (0.8mm) I like Denso plugs, but other people have had luck with NGK's.
Denso P/N PQ20RU
NGK: BCPR6ES
Edit: these are for stock coils/wires, I have a diff recommendation set if you're using IS300 coils/wires.

Actually i just need a coupla valve cover gaskets cuz mine are leaky. I think I might also have a coolant plug problem... but i could very easily be wrong. I still know little to nothing about cars and supras, so be prepared for my noobish questions when i get there! haha

Hmm, no Toyota dealers local to you? You can squeak by with a Tundra plug- K20R-U. Not 100% right, but better than a bosch x(
Wayzhack- Just go to a dealer local to you and order them up. Bring your VIN number cause they'll want it, but the VC gskets aren't that spendy. 100% chance they'll have to order them in, though

We all have to start somewhere. I knew very little when I got my first Supra, and I still have all kinds of things to learn. Best way to get comfortable working on cars though is to learn from your mistakes and advice from others. Any questions you may have - I'll do my best to help.
Just so people know, this meet is rain or shine and I will personally guarantee at least 1 Supra to be in attendance rain/snow/shine/armageddon/etc
