benedwards64 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi all, Just thought I'd drop in and say hi I'm a big fan of Toyota, ahving had various models in the past. Having had a Mk3 Supra and being a good friend of pistol pete (member on here) I've decided that I'm now after a Mk4. While I'd love a TT, there's no way I can afford one with a Manual gearbox, so I'm looking around for a 5-speed N/A. Anyway, a little car history for those who are interested. I'll skip the usual cheapy hatchbacks and start with the interesting stuff: MR2 Mk1 (pic taken at JAE 2009): Mk3 Supra tubby: MG ZS180: The current - a 1996 JDM Toyota Sprinter Trueno BZG This has already proven to be a very useful site, so thanks for that! Hopefully I'll have a Supra of my own pretty soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 love the red mk3, looks really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benedwards64 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 love the red mk3, looks really nice. Yeah, that was a lovely car. I'd still have it if it was more reliable, but after paying out for the inevitable blown head-gasket I got rid. After having a drive in pete's mk4 I was sold, which is why I'm now on the lookout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benedwards64 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Err... honestly? I can't remember the code (car-geek fail, I know!). It was a UK-spec 7M-GTE 3.0 single turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a UK-spec 7M-GTE 3.0 single turbo Haha, should have asked 2L, 3L or 2.5L Not a big fan of the 7M, personally, but have a soft spot for the Turbo A (7m-gteu).

benedwards64 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Neither was I after it blew its headgasket and pissed coolant all over my friend's drive! Lovely engine when it was working though, and sounded amazing with 2 de-cats and a full stainless system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely engine when it was working though, and sounded amazing with 2 de-cats and a full stainless system Blown headgasket is always the risk, and curse, of owning a 7M-powered vehicle. Even with correct torque settings on the head, it seems to intermittently occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
