    Need help with Head Gasket (beginning to go)

    Just find fellow Supra owners close to you and ask them if they would help you. I'm sure if you had to pay them, it would much less money than the dealer or other mechanics. And in the process you could watch them do it and learn from them. Cheers, Roy

    What do you think of this Cast T04 style manifold?

    Will this manifold work on a stock turbo if I made an adaptor? My stock manifold is cracked and I gotta get one. I am debating whether to buy a stock one now or just buy HKS replica cast one. I will be buying my Gt35R most probably in the next month. Cheers, Roy
