What did you do to your Supra today?

[AustinGRSupra]

New covers in and strut bars powder coated.

Nicely done. I’m waiting for my gloss ECU cover to match my engine cover.

You guys that are that young and own a roughly $55k to $60k Supra brand new are definitely doing something right! I wish I had the money to afford the MKIV Supra back when I was in my 20’s.

Or they have very nice parents..... Or were stupid like me.

Back in 05, when I was 18, I bought a brand new GTO. I was working part time and making a whopping $6.75 a hour. Pretty much 90% of my paycheck went to the car payment and the other 10% went to gas. Needless to say, I sold the car within a year and got something a 1/3rd of the price and was much happier.

70’s babies are the best generation. Old enough to know what hard physical labor is. Also that climbing trees was for fun and not a Tree Hugging violation. Growing up in the 80’s was a culture icon’s dream. They also made their own toys and entertainment. You haven’t lived until you’ve had a dirt clod fight with the neighbors! Or smashed the end of a few Piccolo Pete's. ?

No you don't. You really don't. It seems nice, but there's a lot of appreciation you get for a car with the power of the stock Supra when you've suffered through 8 pieces of shit and several project cars before buying something that comes out of the box with 300+ HP/TQ. Get off my lawn thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I know the stick on paddle shifters got some hate, but I don't think they look to bad if you spend time vinyl wrapping the original shifters beforehand. Here's my end result:

Sound financial logic would've said, buy a 2 seat sports cars in your 40s or 50s, but a couple of things that probably won't hold true at that age:

• This car isn't the easiest to get in or out of, and chances are it's not going to get easier
• I think ICE cars will be phasing out in the next 20 years or so, so I don't think "next generations" of the cars I grew up admiring would really be around, at least in an ICE version, and although electric cars can be interesting, the experience isn't the same. I love hearing the turbo spool up on these Supras, the crackles on the overrun, and that wumph on upshifts -- things that just won't be in newer cars down the line.

You... Opened the door?

Drove it to the dealer?

Parked it well?

Come on!

Lol! Nice one ? I just got it last week. Haven’t taken any pictures beside that one

I installed the Maxton Design gurney flap and cut the half circles on my weathertech trunk mat so it would no longer cover the ports on the sound system mod.

Ehh I agree with you but can debate you on that as well since I am 45 and can still get in and out of my Supra with no problem. Thank god for good health and not being too out of shape. LOL! Also, I still love wrenching on my cars as much as possible. I just won’t touch any mods that deal with opening up the engine. Bolt-ons all day long!!! Haha.

As far as ICE cars, it might be sooner than 20 years the way electric cars have been taking off and most manufacturers have already committed to having mostly electric fleets soon enough. But to your point, that’s exactly why I bought the Supra because this could possibly be my last ICE car, but you just never know.

To stay somewhat on topic to this thread, I just finished doing the Tadda mods to the subs yesterday and today I’ll be adding some sound deadener to the trunk area.

New carbon fiber hood vent overlays.

They’re a very nice quality piece in person. Ties in well with the oem mirrors.

Where from?

Installed K&N air filter. Car was and tour of the neighborhood!

Ordered a pure800

Ordered a pure800

Niiiice, sooner or later I'll probably go this route. However I'm partial to the 700 due to the faster spool.

Let's see some dyno sheets!

Here is the graph.
Increase in HP 24%
Increase in Torque 17%
Absolute numbers are not that interesting since it varies depending on which dyno is used and other factors such as fuel etc.
