Whatsup guys, I'm new to supras and just found this thread. It's good to see that there are lots of supra owners on the island. I just wanted to let you know that theres another one now and i'm definately interested in making it fast(er).
I bought it(87 turbo) in october and it came with cold air, bov and a short shift kit. I don't think the guy who had it before me took very good care of it, so it needs some work. It was running real smooth until recently, it sounds like i've got a worn out bearing on a connecting rod so i'm going to take (tow) it in for a rebuild. I was thinking I'd have a metal headgasket put in while i'm at it, just wondering if you guys might have some other suggestions as to what to troubleshoot while the motor's open.
cheers
