The first day i brought her home



followed by getting the new tranny for 100 buckss

yea, 100k on original engine is right in the golden zone for BHG to show up. ward it of by torquing the head bolts to 75 ftlbs, then retorque to 75 ftlbs in 1000 miles.

if you can fit the supra bumper, lemme know how you did it. I've got one laying around :-p

btw, fixed your links. in the future, use the IMG code, not the HTML code.
