hey. well ive went and spent some money, and bought a cheap set of rims for now to get rid of the ugly stockers. i went to a local salvage yard, and found 4 stock rims from an oldsmobile intrigue. 16" x 6.5". put one on the car before i bought them to see if they had proper clearance and such. everything fit nicely, so i went and bought them. just over $100 with lug nuts and everything, there's just a few scuffs on one.. well, i say they look ugly as hell on an olds, but seem to fit my supra, im my opinion anyways? they really opened it up, now im going to paint my calipers red and the brake drums black and i have to figure out what to do with the center cap because it has the olds symbol on it and the toyota ones dont fit... its also indented, which i dont like. i was thinking of painting it black.. but how do i go about filling it in where the design is? its plastic.. if i could fill it with something and paint over it? any ideas are welcome. ill get pics of my car tommorow, they look much better on the car.

also today i was thinking about my BHG... i was thinking of just doing it myself.. but what if the head is cracked? or needs to be smoothed.. and so on? i cant do any of that.. so if i got someone to do it for me, they would be liable if it didnt turn out right? toyota here charges about $80 an hour labour.. but at hyundai where is sister works, theyt charge about $45 an hour and its about a 7.5hour job they say, so that saves.. $270 about.. but its hyundai, but they should still know what there doing? or maybe i can just get another 7mge imported? id swap.. but if i want a 1jz.. id have to change alot and find a different tranny.. same with the 7mgte? any opinions welcomed.
