What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra?

[suprarx7nut]

Not thinking the tranny whine was a big deal when i bought mine. 850 bucks after buying what seemed like a "near excellent" car, I felt kinda dumb.

Though now its smooth as silk and silent and I'm a happy camper.

definetly selling it.....

because i heard that it is not doing to well and the new owner is a douche.

3. removing rear quarter window trim, losing my patience and yanking on it... causing the glass to explode.
2. hooking up my FC oil cooler backwards and subsequently getting bottom end noise due to low oil pressure, i think.

and

1. not trusting my gut when i bought a "reman" head that looked like it was resurfaced w/ a scotch-brite wheel instead of milled. 3 months later, the HG blew again.

Ran 87 octane gas in a 7M-GTE and blew 2 motors that way. I also bought a salvage title and didn't do my research. Not to mention cutting the core support with tin snips and not reinforcing it and stripping the interior.

biggest mistake...selling my first Supra. I have wanted another one ever since.

Not going single on my 1jz from the start.

Listening to non-car people giving me advice. Everytime I have to wiggle the cps wires, they ask me if I need a jump over and over again. And when they tell me how to fix problems that aren't even the root cause of it.

Selling my first supra!

The worst mistake I've ever done to my wife's car was taking it to American Engines and letting them install a new engine in her car. It took them six months and now it has rod knock. I should have just bought a 1jz and put it in there for her. Now I've got to do it anyways after spending $2800.00 on the 7m.

Yeah, yeah, I know I could have rebuilt hers but this was two years ago when I didn't know any better. I'm either going to sell her car or install a 1j in it. I will not be spending any more money on a 7m.

install a 1j in it. I will not be spending any more money on a 7m.

Only because you keep getting rod knocks.

 

[crazysupra2JZ]

worst thing i did to my supra was working on it. ran perfect, boosted to 11psi, completely stock... after i started modding it, it's been down hill since.


BUT the most worst thing i ever did was sell it so someone else... i hope she forgives me, no matter where she is.

drifted and dragged it on the street.

You're an ass, dude. Just so you know. :biglaugh:

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I don't always get an opportunity to rag on someone like this. Gotta take advantage of it. :biglaugh:

I forget what I was doing at the time, but I had most of the cooling system out and broke a Tstat bolt and some other stuff. I got it all back together and excited to fire it up after being down so long, I forgot about a shop towel... The towel was sitting near the Alt. belt and some how got caught up in it. It popped the belt right off, didnt hurt anything but made my heart sink when the motor died after I thought I fixxed it all up lol.

I had my front tires off doing my break upgrades and didnt pay attention when I put them back on, had them on the wrong sides. Lowered the car down, went inside got all cleaned up ready for a test drive. Then, noticed the tires on the wrong sides....
