Esselte Regular Location: Vic Registered: June 2003	Re: WTB Supra Fri, 15 August 2003 15:31 i've never met a workshop mechanic that didn't know what a 1ggte is, and this guy just converted his car to a 1jz, surely you don't think he's clueless? He's not some guy who works behind the counter in an Autobarn. In terms of taking second hand information (that is, tech articles) over first hand experience, in the case of generalizing the reliablity of an engine, then unless you've owned hundreds of 7m-gte's, then how can you accurately say 'this torque setting on the head bolts fixes the head gasket issue' - it may have worked with yours, but would it work for everyone? How many 7m-gte's have you owned, it would have to be statistically significant. I mean seriously, do you think that the only way you can ever learn anything is first hand? These tech articles are mostly from people who specialize in 7mgte's, you don't think because you've done some work on your own (probably one engine) that your the only valid source of information? Because that would be totally egotistical. In terms of building an engine for racing that doesn't last 80, 000 kms, well what kind of racing? Engines built for rallying and some of the most reliable engines around and would last 80 000 kms easy with some TLC. In terms of the 7mgte, i was talking about the 8 (i think) step official HKS guide to modding the 7mgte to produce i think 300+ kw at the wheels of a mk3 supra. But anyways, hope ur enjoying urself.
