      Actually, she cruises nicely at 75 in OD; I still can get like 26mpg....plus 75 in the auto is the sweet spot for doing a quick pull in 3rd...

      EDIT/Disclaimer: the 26mpg is not from sustained 75mph trips

              I hope it was a metal headgaskette...otherwise a BHG is in your near future with the MBC at almost 12psi

                  Probably call the shop if you can get the info and see...cause it needs like 90+lbs of torque..otherwise the mhg could blow...

                    thought about that, but the shop is in colorado, and it was almost 3 years ago i think? i plan on(idk why i havent yet) checking torque spec anyway. and seeing about head studs while im in there.

                          plans will not be including a 7m. lol. as soon as i get the money im doing 2jz with big single turbo. looking to make around 700 to the wheels, while still being an EASY dd. then if thats not enough ill go bigger!!!!! (insert evil laugh). and if the 7m isnt too beat up by then i may rebuild as a project. but thats a ways away.

                            Going from the 7m to the 2jz is like going over to the dark side....

                            once you cross that line, there is no coming back...
