Hey guys and gals! M6 name is Brabdon and this is the PITA car that I love to death 2020 A90 base 3.0
So! The story goes, I was tirelessly searching for a 1 owner R35 GTR. There were none. It was amazing to me lol anyway.... one day, as I'm driving away from Nissan by my house, I see an all black supra tucked off to the sode of the Toyota dealership. Quick brake check! Skrrt! Into the Toyota dealer I go. The sales guy keeps pushing me towards a yellow 2.0 and that wasnt going to happen. As i get to chatting, come to find out, the black car was just put up and was the dealer employees car. The owner comes out and lets me know about it and it's intention was to become a track car. It had 8k miles on it that was used to commute to work for 10ish months.... I knew then and there that I was taking it home So I ask to test drive it, and, well, yeah.... papers were signed and I was the new owner! My original plan was to black out the reflectors/badges. Now I'm nearly 20k deep...

$330 Eibach Pro springs e10-20-046-02-22 (z4 spec)
- A90Shop gloss black aero mirrors
- Redline360 Escort radar detector
- Verus aluminum caps
Had some parts around and finally had some time to do the dirty work
good for 4+ WHP
added the duckbill
Got some performance goodies and time to put em on! A couple healthy wood blocks were enough to be ghetto and get the intake and DP off/on
Carbon seat inserts are amazing! I can't stand chrome if you couldn't tell
Alright. So. I was ready to tune, right?! Here we go! Wrong....
So I smacked a curb on a dark/rainy Colorado night and with where America is at....well, it took 7 months to receive a new steering assembly....
Of course I had wheels and some other things going on the car literally the next day...
So I found out my car was FINALLY driveable and I travel for work so I had to fly to Colorado Springs to pick up the car and drive back to Seattle (where I'm at currently)
Stayed at my place os Colorado for a quick rest and off to the PNW the next morning. Woo! Paul Walker style mission, let's do it! Hahahaha
Okay. A little missing info. I happen to make TWO very bad/great financial decisionS about a week before the car was done. ONE being am extremely rare toyota tacoma my dream truck!
The SECOND one being, I went to a gentleman's house to pick up JUST AN EXHAUST and.......
Like I said earlier, I wasn't planning on doing an exhaust at all. In fact, it was probably the last thing I wanted to do tbh. But this SP1R single exit is AMAZING. The sound is exactly what I was looking for. Crisp, clean, I6 sound and the turbo noise is perfectly paired
Not to mention it looks sexy as ever!!!
Also pulled the "supra" badge off and the block off plate mounting isn't adequate for me so I'll be changing that up before install
The 5" single exit was a nice little project. I was kind of nervous to cut but it wasn't bad! After having 5 shops tell me either they couldn't do the work OR it would be 2-4 months to do, I just bought a dremel tool and went to work myself I'll be cleaning it up in the future but for now, it works! I want to say it is about a 3 hour job if you're meticulous and want it done right
Cold starts are insane with the catless downpipe. It needs a tune NOW lololol
The car alarms go off every time pretty much and it's embarrassing. Honestly though, it's not bad once it's warm!
Next thing is a tune and I think it'll be complete for the next few years! Thanks for checking it out and glad you enjoy it
Fun pics for the LOLs
cruised up Pikes Peak a few times since it's basically in my backyard
The COS supra fellas that actually drive their cars
I haveeeeeeeeeeeeeee to introduce TIA 2.0! A 2015 TRD Pro 1GR-FE V6 4.0L with a factory installed TRD supercharger (THE LAST ONE IN AMERICA). This was the only year they ever put this color (inferno) on the second generation tacoma. 2015 was the only year they called them TRD Pro's, also! Less than 300 of these were made in this color and the S/C is an option. So this will never leave my possession if I can help it
I'm actually selling the silver RARE TX Pro tacoma so hollaaaa if interested
Seriously debating on wrapping it a matching color after I saw this
I think I'm set on a jade-like green though
