The car has been my daily driver and gets about 18 miles to the gallon. It is set or tuned for 14lbs of boost and I have been running it daily set at 12.8 max. I have had an oil leak (bad oil return line) which I just fixed and have just noticed that under load the car is burning a very small amount of oil. I unfortunately do not have the time/ money/ or tools at this point to pinpoint the reason for this oil burning. It does not burn oil at idle nor at start up. just under load. The last shop that I had work on the car also forgot to put one of the bolts back into the oil pan and this is causing oil saturation on bottom of the block and underpanels. Not a fast leak at all. Not even enough to really see unless you get underneath the car ( I still drive daily). Car drives fine and hauls ass, however there are problems, that I mentioned, that will need to be addressed at some point. I also have a spare parts including the full factory tech manuals for this car. Spare parts include Single Supra Piston, 4 spare rod and piston assembly for ge motor, Brand new set of Supra piston rings, and bolts for the oil pan and spare intake manifold gaskets and other misc summit fittings.
