Go with the old saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Of course if it is then go right ahead, but it didn't sould like yours was. Just do the tune-up thing, check all hoses and belts, cam belt esp, Check oil losses, replace valve cover gaskets and such. Preventitive measures are best for now.

should my radiator hoses be spongy, to where i can press the hose and the top of the hoses will touch the bottom of the hose? what does it mean that the supra is an inline six? what are some ways i can put cold air intake on it and any other modifications to the 7mge without adding a turbo?

what it means when it says that it is an inline six is that all the pistons are in a straight line not in a v shape like most normal engines and no your radiator hoses should not be all spongy like that i am not sure why they wold be that way but i just know that they are not supposed to be that way and as far as the cold air intake goes i would just get the kand n kit i think it runs about 140 dollars for the set up

Spongy to one guy might be 'slightly firm' to another guy. Yes, you can squeeze the hose (even a new one) with your thumb and fingers to make it closed, to touch both sides together. Spongy to me means soft and squishy, like old hose that's had oil on it, and ruined it.

Have a friend thats worked on cars look at it.

You don't want to loose an engine because a hose blew.

The hoses behind the head probably need changing.
