7MGTE out and ready to be disassembled.
This sucker's pretty clean underneath. Under the valve covers looks new, clean head to say the least. Pulled all 6 plugs and it is evident that the head gasket blew on cyl's 5 and 6, leaking oil into the combustion chamber. Hopefully no water leakage!
I was lucky to find this - a brand new OEM MKIII logo. Recently these were completely out of stock from Toyota, a local gentleman had it in his garage all these years after selling his MKIII.
Thanks to Ray Honore (dababiboi786/supramaniac) for a set of Eibach lowering springs
Found this on craigslist for a whopping $200... Tanabe touring medalion catback exhaust.
Coming soon:
CT-26 57 trim turbocharger
R154 support wings/bell housing support brackets
R154 clutch fork
Stainless steel brake lines

Wow, great thread! This is my first time seeing this... brings back memories.
I used to rock a Supra Turbo back in the 90's when I was in high school. Practically had to sell a nad to afford it. I remember the adjustable side bolsters being the coolest thing I had ever seen :o I blew a head gasket too, just like every other supra owner
I am also super jealous of your red runner. I thought about swapping a 7M into my '84 mini truck before I got a family and realized I need a back seat.
SUBSCRIBED!

Wow in high school? That must have been awesome! By the looks of things, you've got a lot of 4 door vehicles now, what's adding a 1st gen? (A good idea.... do it, Haha) Then 7M-GTE?

TEMS is a suspension control system offered by toyota in the 80s and 90s. It has two manually selectable settings (sport and normal) which adjust the shock stiffness via rotating actuators on top of each shock tower. There is a third setting for Firm which activates automatically, but can be made into a manual control with a little wiring.

White mkiv wheels are so much win. Perfect wheel for this car
Some hazy Gran Turismo memories make me inclined to believe those wheels may have actually been OEM on some late JDM mkiii's

The later MKIII Turbos came with 16" 5 spokes that were all 16x7, maybe that's it. I haven't played Gran Turismo in too long.
Glad to see Toyota got the width right with the MKIV... and kept the bolt patterns the same
