What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra? What did you do wrong during your build etc etc.
Make me feel better for what I just did. Don't be shy.

get naked & boost a supra
put a 7m in it :biglaugh:
no seriously worst thing i did was have it painted at a 700 dollar paint job place and use a autozone head gasket when i rebuild my 7mge 3 years ago. i had to redo the head gasket in the car with 1000 miles on the engine

now that i remember, i took bishops jack from under my car and the handle slipped out of my hand and put i little dent into my door.
motor slipped off the hoist chain and fell like 1ft. motor was ok but it fell on the wiring harness. luckily i repaired it and it works now. didnt reuse that engine

I somehow... Yes "somehow" picked up a m12-1.5 tap rather the M12-1.25 tap that I originally had.............
Ran all 14 holes on the block with M12-1.5 tap....... Not repairable. Good bye block. So Now I am sitting in my room wondering how the darn I am going to get this car running by new years. I can't even afford an engine hoist thanks to the headgasket and arp stud price..
Didn't put the 89+ subframe braces in when I had the subframe out. Lost one, and now my subframe is cracked. Gay.
Ummm I did not tighten the flywheel bolts down with a good tq wrench and neglected lock-tight..... i used a P.O.S tq wrench that was old and falling part. My flywheel came loose and destroyed my bellhousing at 15mph

What about the time you crashed it? or when you smashed up John's car? Jeff = fail at Supra's.

not trying to down you but didnt you notice it took quite some effort to run the tap thru just to clean the threads.
I bought it.....J/k
Probably when I didn't make sure that the fan shroud was secured on there properly. It wasn't and the fan hit it and ended up tearing the fan shroud up and put a hole in my radiator.
Oooor....Buying a soarer engine and not getting a JZA70 clip from Driftmotion. Lesson learned.

wont work the bolt holes cant be retaped into the same diameter with a different pitch
Not my mistake, but worth noting
I bought an NA with a "blown" head gasket that the guy had just recently replaced but still spewed oil and water. When I pulled the head I found he had put the gasket on BACKWARDS!
