Decided to drill some holes in the hatch for a new look. Install was pretty straight forward.

Verus UCW Wing:

One of the best wings

Agreed, been eyeing them out for a while and seen a few buddies running them. They look so good and are very functional.

 

[Kenn]

Threw on the "Summer" setup (Blast bronze TE37 Ultra M-Spec/OEM tires). Also using the BMS 10mm/13mm wheel spacers to make the fitment more aggressive. Slightly rubbing in the front though.

 

[Kenn]

Added a few more goodies to the car.

-RK Titanium Track Exhaust
-Verus driver side exhaust cover
-IND paint matched rear reflectors

Exhaust is pretty rowdy and does have the expected drone but love the way it looks and sounds.

How you enjoying the exhaust?

I love it, its def louder than the previous setup (MBRP) downside is there's a lot more drone in higher gears/lower rpms.

Sweet! I try to go to a few around the area like Hunt Valley, Mikey and Mels, Kent Island C&C, etc. Sometimes I venture off into the NOVA meets like the one in Ashburn or Dulles. Lmk if you wanna meet some of the other locals, we try to rally over to some of these.

I would love to meet some of the local other Supra owners!

I have surprisingly haven't gotten a chance yet to go to any car meets as my car is constantly in the shop

Finally tracked the car at a FATT event at Summit Point Main. With little to no track experience, I'd say that the car felt great in its current state. Definitely need a front splitter to balance out the car but I'll worry about that when I actually get decent lap times.

Also Hyperdip'd an OEM wheel/tire set I got for cheap. Rushed the process and humidity was too high so it came out alright. But in hindsight white was a bad choice of color.

How has been your experience with the RK while lowered on Swift springs? Scraping? Planning to install the very same setup.

Sorry for the late reply, but there hasnt been any issues with scraping. Lowest point is as low as the undercarriage brace. But might be how I have the exhaust angled. Verus rear diffuser is coming in and plan to install when it gets warmer so that'll probably scrape before the exhaust.

 

[Kenn]

Second track day at Summit Main was a bit wet but got to test out the newly installed Verus rear diffuser. Felt great from what I could tell but still a beginner/novice.

Can't wait to install the Sayber Design front splitter to balance out the aero though. Also no fitment issues with the passenger exit RK titanium track exhaust.

 

[Kenn]

Got the Sayber Design race splitter installed and tested it at Summit Point Main. Install wasn't bad just took a bit messing with the fitment.

Felt great on track but again don't have a lot of track exp so I don't have the best baseline but overall the car feels more balanced. Probably need to upgrade from Swift springs to actual coilovers sooner than later.

hey!
i couldn't find any info on the carbon guards rock guards, but i assume they're the same size as the ZL1 rock guards.
any manipulation needed to be using the rock guards + EOS side skirts and spats?
