Hey supra fans! Nice site with tons of info. I'd like to thank all those who have contributed and continue to make this site a great resource.
My friend is the original owner of this 86.5 supra NA. Low mileage, ~80k and he had the bhg back in the early 90s. He had his oil changed at jiffy and they stripped his oil plug so that it leaks. Fast forward a few years and the toyota intermittent starter problem (that's where I come in, he bought a reman that we installed but didn't fix the problem so I wired a relay) so it had been a while since he was regularly driving it. Well, he forgot to check the oil and spun a bearing or 2. I assume, could've spun em all and destroyed the crank as he drove it till it had no power (knocking up a storm) before he called me. I figured the motor to pretty bad and since he was only 10 min from home to get 3 qts 50w oil and 2qts lucas oil to put in.
He made it home and when I came over it didn't sound as bad as I thought it would, he said it was a lot louder before he called. So we got one of those JDM 7mge off ebay since there weren't any available locally for same money.
Well, that's the intro and now I'm off to the 7mge forum....
