I don't work with Bob, He is one of my friends. I unfortunatly work for Honda on Mendenhall, AKA Hell.:sarcasm:
He told me about the shell, and he wants it. I'm just glad to see yet another supra owner in the area. You look like you are in Lakeland/Arlington from the photos.


Noah right? I actually live in SE Memphis, almost Olive Branch.

By the way, I've been seeing this MKIII around lately, its an 89+ white package... looks really nice. It's not you is it?

Oh, and do me a favor and have Bob call me, I broke my phone and lost all my phone numbers!!!

You were smart to go ahead and tear it down. One should always assume a used 7M has a BHG or rod knock.

Yeah, this one may have had a blown head... the gasket that came off was composite and definatley old... I wouldn't have been surprised. I'm going to go ahead and do the rings, bearings and seals while I'm at it. Right now, I'm just stuck whether or not I'm going to invest in a MHG or not. :biglaugh:

I have a Titan 2.0mm I got for my first car. It has been in my closet for like two years still in the plywood box.

Have already called Drew about the shell. Should be picking it up this evening. Will also give his engine a look over to see what he has going on. Judging by the pics I wouls say he has a very solid block. There was a lot of oil in the turbo when I last looked at it.

Yes do it while you've got the motor out. I mean a stocker will probably be ok if your HP goals are that high but like I said, you've got the motor out and torn apart, take advantage of that.:icon_bigg
