ok, I just bought my first supra and it has a few problems. The one that I'm worried about is my car keeps loosing coolent while driving. I have to put about a half galon in it every time I go to drive it. I have all new hoses and thermastat my oil color is fine I just don't know where it could be going any help would be cool. I know this is probably a dumb question but bare with me I don't know much about toyotas'.:1zhelp:

I come from a land down under
Sadly 9 times out of 10 losing coolant in a 7M is a BHG.

See if you can spot where it's going and if it's something external like a leaking hose rusted hardpipe repair it.

Pull the plugs and have a look at them if it's leaking into the combustion chamer you'll see evidence of this.

Sit a small coke bottle under the coolant reservoir overflow and see if it's puking out of there while driving.

the car runs great and the oil looks good. If I had a blown head gasket would'nt i be loosing power and have water in the oil?

nope, it's very possible to blow a head gasket with out oil & water mixing or blowing it out from the side of the head

when i blew my stock hg racing i blew it out the side of the head, water every where,

now with a mhg, it's not sealing properly so i assume because i continue to push coolent out, from the over flow bottle

drives and boost great but if i dont keep an eye on the coolent it will get hot, i guess you can say i have lost the fear of burning my self on coolent since my head cost more then the pain in burns...

any ways, i vote bhg aswell
do it right once, and not worry about it again,
