What did you do to your Supra today?

[superd6199]

I did something that some people might find unforgiveable. I removed the thermal oxidation from my Remark titanium tips.

I left some darkening on the very end. I kind of like the way it looks.

How did you manage to remove oxidation?

Great decision! What did you use to remove it?

I used an applicator pad and some Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. It takes a good bit of work, but it comes off. I'm sure there are better ways to it.

I tried my buffer, but the corners of tips were destroying my pads. I'm sure there some different pads you could use with a buffer that won't get destroyed.


Here's a before and after of them installed:

Installed my Armaspeed intake and Verus heat shield! Sorry for the terrible pictures, lighting it terrible in my garage.

Thank you so much. It was difficult to gauge the look on the white car on google. I'm sold now though.

Any chance you got this prepainted through rexpeed?

Finally got around to wrapping the roof. Now I’m trying to decide on rims or exhaust next!

Got PPF and ceramic coating done. Went with STEK Dynoshield PPF - full front-end coverage (front bumper, full hood, full front fenders, headlights), door pucks/door edges, partial rear bumper (the wedge-shaped side panels behind the rear wheels), and CQuartz Professional ceramic coating. Absolutely top-notch work by John and his team at Metropolitan Detail in Redmond, WA.

Good thing it says “Gasoline.”

I don’t understand cheaping out on aesthetic enhancements.

It looks better than the original plastic.

Drove it the the first time in almost a week! Hard to tell with the lighting but I have the carbon fiber vent covers and mirror caps on to match the spoiler.

No pics, because you’ve all seen them before, but:

I had the Cusco front and rear sway bars + the front and rear “power braces” installed this week.

I finally got a chance to drive one of my favorite twisty backroads with the new kit and highly recommend it. The car feels much more “on its toes” in corners now. I previously had an 86 on springs and loved the (relative) light weight of that platform.

The new gear makes the Supra feel like a lighter car, no longer having to wait for the car to roll a bit and then take a set. Now she just goes where you point her.

Since I didn’t do the changes in isolation I can’t comment on what parts made the most difference (likely the sways), but collectively they are a very harmonious upgrade.

Love that without. I like the HKS, wish it was without also Nice!
