any assistance from insurance companies? that should help if available... and mine also has an oil leak or so I think... only seen the leak once on a span of two days when it was cold outside... after it warmed up again, no more leak... since... so I'm thinking prob somewhere pressure is escaping and when the oil thickens as it cools, it's pushed out from the oil pan pressure... However, the oil pressure when running is within specs... on the very low end, but still within specs... so I'm hoping she'll hang in there for another month till I can get another $500 to spend on dropping the suspension and engine... Good luck to you.. hope you find positive resolution soon..

THanks I am waiting on the insurance to see what options they give me concerning the car but I don't know how long that takes. I'll try to post pictures of the damage in case anybody wants to see.

i have 95 supra that i got when i was 17 but i had been wrecked and needed about 3000 in work. after finally getting the money i needed to fix it, took me a year and a half, i got it on the road. the only thing i was missing was some new rubbers. the ones on it were basically slicks they were so bald. anyways the 3 day of having it on the road it was raining really hard and i was making a left hand turn on a slick road. long story short i went onto the sidwalk and ran into a metal fence at like 5 mph. now im back to were i started

So it took me two years and having to drive a honda to finally get back to a supra

. The only bummer part is its a 7mge but after i save a bit it will be a 7mgte

. so far i've purchased eibach springs and kyb gr2 shocks and looking for what else i can do to fix/upgrade the suspension any tips will be nice.
And its gooooood to be back in a supra.
