New Supra Owner- Parma, OH

[MattTerror]

Just bought a 90' 7M-GTE with 150k miles with only one owner for 2,300. Other than some minor rust and the turbo not working the car seems to have been babied. The HG was replaced on it but unknown if it was torqued to the new specs. The car just sat for the last 2 years, replaced the battery and it fires up fine. Low idle and feels like she wants to stall out. Aside from a full fluid change and fuel filter and maybe a fuel pump, vaccume lines, plugs and wires are there any other things i should look out for? I pick it up in a few days and have a solid 30 min drive home with it. SO EXCITED!

Ever changed a head gasket before?

Yeah i looked at it's service records and it has been changed.

Re looked. HG kit and valve seals done in 99.

I had already planed on a MHG and the ARP studs. just wanna be sure i can granny it home ok.

Sounds like fun! I'm actually rebuilding my head right now too.

congrates on the purchase. If it were me i would definently have someone follow that could tow it if something were to happen. You never know with a car that has sat up that long. the 7mgte has alot of coolent hoses here and there the could be weak from sitting for so long. I wish you the best of luck and hope you make it home safely
