Your miles?

My supra went 419,000 before the engine blew. These engines are pretty reliable, minus the head gasket and a few other assorted problems.

Mine will hit 250,000kms (155,342miles) in the next month or 2. Everything has been pretty good. When I first got it, I was stupid with cars and I was young, didnt know much, so I got rod knock. Had to have the bottom half rebuilt.

Just went through a BHG not too long ago. Other than that, nothing else major has gone. Just simple maintenance. A few coolant hoses blowing because of their age.

Do some preventive maintenance before you decide to put mods to the car. Because some sort of hose will blow/leak if not changed.

After that HG and proper maintenance (assuming the previous owner did maintenance) these engines will run a long time. Mine only has 91K, it had BHG before i picked it up for at least 15k miles. It was thrashed by the 2 previous owners and I had to do a lot of maintenace as well as the HG, all knew cooling system and timing and gaskets.

But now, it runs really strong. I punch it and it really moves. It's the N/A version but it hauls ass. I believe I can take out some v8 mustangs with it in its bone stock form.
Point is, with proper care they go for what seems like eternity.
I had a v6 toy pick up and got 238K before selling it, after I thrashed it. It still ran great.
Toyota's rock.
