Suprahero,
Are you using the ACT Extreme? How long have you been running it at 500+ RWHP? Any time at the strip?

+1 Hey you can use paint thinner to remove those scuffs on the bumpers it works wonders. If you need any 7m stuff let me know I have 3 engines and a ajusa gasket kit .Did it come with a dash?

The Supra has been in the family for about 7 years, and I am just now getting to the point where I have the money, time, and confidence to bring it back to life. I'll most likely be bringing it back in NA form with a new block and maybe a MHG. I don't plan to make big power with it, I just want to be able to drive it again.
The GTI is my DD/auto-x fighter/occasional track day car. I think it is very well suited for an all around car. It may not be excellent in one particular thing, but it does it all very well.
I look forward to meeting some of you guys in the near future.

yes i have the dash for the car...and thnx to Racerxj220 a good friend i have a head, arp headbolts and a metal headgasket for the car
Glad you are here David! Now we have an official Supramania Preisters distributor:evil2:
If done right, there is no need for a metal head gasket on an N/A motor. You can't make enough power on an N/A to be a problem for the stock gasket. Just torque it to 72 ft-lb instead of the 55 in the TSRM.

haha...I guess you've tasted the forbidden candies. :yumyum: That place will bring anyone's inner fat kid out in the open.
I'm so glad you said that about the MHG. So many people have jumped on the band wagon, and refuse to get off. I have an Ishino headgasket kit and ARP studs sitting at my parents house waiting for a block.
Scott the headgasket was given to me... Racerxj220 ::Jeff:: already had it laying around for the 7m 
...may as well use it...i know the n/a wont make that much power but it will be there for reassurance

Ya, I did get a little confused there, but it looks like the advice will go to good use anyway.
