I suggest whoever has the most will have the piston hoarder disease named after him/her. So far it's SDS, Splatter Dog Syndrome.

I just added another 6 to make my count to 80
I bought an '84 Supra with the 5M-GE motor in it, it was smashed, but has a lot of upgraded suspension parts that will fit my '76 Celica and other parts that can be used for my 1-UZ project for my 90 Corolla transplant.
