Oh man now its at 308K ahhhhhhhh.
Changed the spark plugs and wires and put some tires on it.
Now I have to put the new bumper which I will probably do this weekend =D
We are planning to put full coverage on the Supra but it will need paint and minor body work because it looks kinda junky =(
Once again I remind you guys that I'm 16 and i'm doing my best to keep my car in shape.
Thanks for the support

Oh lawdy, don;'t jinx yourself by posting these kind of threads up!


Better go check the tq on your headbolts now before they loosen and turn your cylinders into a green (or red) geyser!

I checked them and it sucked, but surprisingly everything is good. Might need a head gasket =( I think Im going to have to get POS car soon so that way the Supra can rest, and I can save up money to get an engine rebuild. If it dies now I will be forced to sell it =( and I don't want to do that. Please don't jinx it and enough of those negative comments from all. Think Positive people and I will continue to work on it lil by lil. I LOVE MY SUPRA

What sucked? Everything is good!
Why would an optimist like you be "surprised" that everything is good. Sounds like you're being negative.

Based on what? I thought everything was good. More negativity...

Again with the negativity.

No need...your're doing a great job of jinxing it all by yourself with all your negative thoughts and predictions.

I think you're negative energy is attracting "all those negative comments".

according to the title mine has 250xxx miles on it before i decided to take it out for a rebuild... well i havent had time to tear it down but i dont suspect anything too terribly bad. wasnt running when i first got it (bad cps wires) after got it started found out it had bhg..replaced that and its run pretty good up til i decided to pull it in favor of my semi built engine i have.

edit: forgot to say good luck on your supra and fixing a bhg isnt too bad (if you have one). just be sure to atleast get your head resurfaced.
