When I do start going for a power car. i thought it would be just smart and order all the parts. and then after i have everything then i can start building it. so then the only time i cant build it is if i forgot about something or if something doesnt fit..

i dont know which of the supra's im going to buy so i dont know what the pistons ect look like and how the car was maintained. so i think that pistons need to be on the list.
Honestly, pistons are a waste of $ until you know for sure you've got an engine that needs them. A well-maintained 2jz-gte with good compression #s should not be opened up. Toyota built these engines right, with extremely precise tolerances (tolerances are several times more precise than a 350 chevy). Race fuel and wider rims need to be on your list - not pistons. Just mho fwiw ymmv...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
