My new ride

[theprodigy79]

Driving up to Philadelphia, PA to pick it up this weekend... Sorry, I only have a few crappy pics right now but I'll post more after I get the car. 1990 Totota Supra 7M-GE (N/A), only 49K miles. Unfortunatly it's an auto, but the car's pristine.

The Solara is still for sale.













Peace,

[onefiend]

[theprodigy79]

It also has an aftermarket exhaust with the test pipe installed (to bypass the cat), however it comes with the original intake and cat in a box.

Toy, I picked it up for $5,499.

Fiend, I'm in the market for a house, so I'm trying to free up some extra down payment $$$.

it may be interesting for you to know that :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_M_engine#7M-GE

The Toyota 7M-GE introduced in the early months of 1986 is a 3.0 litre (2954cc) 24-valve (4 valves per cylinder) DOHC/fuel injected engine. The valves are spaced at a performance-oriented 50° angle. Cylinder bore is 83 mm (3.27 in) and stroke is 91 mm (3.58 in).

The 7M-GE was produced from 1986 through 1992. Output was 190-204 hp (142-152 kW) at 6000 RPM and 185-196 ft.lbf (250-265 Nm) at 4800 RPM.

Notwithstanding the technical sophistication and powerful output of the engine, it was plagued with the problem of regularly blowing head gaskets. This was because the head gasket was originally meant to be made out of asbestos, but at the last second they changed the material--but not the 56ft lb torque spec). The turbo version 7M-GTE suffered from the same problem. Permanent fixes typically involved a metal after-market headgasket, higher torque settings (usually 70-80 ft lbs) and upgrading to head studs rather than bolts.

Thanks bro, I'm well aware of the head gasket problem. Usually the problem doesn't even begin to surface 'till around 80K miles, and there are many MKIIIs that have been driven for 150K+ without any repairs or preventative measures. I'ts kinda the luck of the draw I guess. I did have a compression test run on the vehicle and each cylinder gave excellent results. Also, simply re-torquing the head bolts to around 75-80lbs with a decent shape original gasket can correct the problem permanently.

I do plan on upgrading with a HKS headgasket and ARP studs eventually, just for preventative measures.
