What did you do to your Supra today?

[dapimpee]

Dam the hood looks dope! Id probably wrap the roof CF to match tbh.

The hood reminds me of the old Camero Iroc z

Fixed my driver side mirror cap. Got a good deal on these from a fellow member, but cheap UV gelcoat and the summer sun just didn't get along. Felt like it took mere hours to cloud over like this. Removed the bad stuff and put new clear coat down. It's a happy little carbon fiber mirror cover now.

what products did you use? Did you wet sand?

Yep. Used a 220 grit to remove the old clear then sprayed with high gloss 2k clear coat from SprayMax. To finish I wet sanded up to 3000 followed by a cut and polish using Turtlewax. No particular reason for that brand, just what I had on hand.

What did you use to remove the existing clear coat?

Edit: just realized you answered my question already lol pardon my ignorance

Love your setup! How much power do you make on the E40 blend?

Thanks! I'm not 100% sure what the figures are on E40 but on 93 octane the car made 443 whp and 521wtq with just a downpipe. The car ran a 10.3 second 60-130 on 93 octane stage 2 and currently runs consistent 8.2 second 60-130's on the E40 blend so I would assume it's probably making a substantial amount more power on the E40 blend. Probably in the 520whp range and 550wtq range. The car is tuned on MHD, E40 stage 2 and MHD's tunes are a bit more conservative than some of the other tunes but the drivability is fantastic.

The car ran a 10.3 second

WHAT THE FUCK

60-130

Oh, that makes way more sense. haha. I am an idiot.

WHAT THE FUCK

Yup same. Definitely thought I was reading 1/4 mile times*. Got too excited there for a second ?

AHAHA!! A 10.3 for this car would require meth, a pure800, and a ton of practice that I don't have, I've never been to a drag strip haha. That's what my tuner's car is running on his Pure800, meth, MHD E40 tuned Supra. Currently the best quarter mile I've ran was on the street in this cars current form, E40 tuned, on an old ass backroad that almost no one runs, using Dragy and it was an 11.7. My 60ft was 2.09 (LOL) and I let off early. I have never practiced doing quarter mile runs or launching a car to be completely honest so I have no idea what I'm doing. I did do some 0-60 practices afterwards and was able to snag a 3.9, a 3.88, and a 3.82, but didn't try doing any quarter mile runs afterwards, ohh and the tire pressure in my rear tires was 36psi at the time of this "practice" lol. I feel like this car could easily land a 10 second pass if I knew what the hell I was doing lol.

So we all did the same thing ? Glad I wasn't alone.

You gonna stay in that range or do you plan on getting an upgraded fuel system/pure800 or anything like that?

I will probably upgrade to methanol before long, tune for it and get the extra bit of power, then eventually a Pure800. The problem with going with the Pure800 is that eventually it will cause issues with the factory trans if you beat on it and you will need to have it built.

I don't think that's a problem Upgrade the trans!

How's the car liking the Pure800?!

So far, so good. Running a low boost map right now while we tweak. Gonna dial it up soon, hopefully before it's too cold and I have to put it in storage.

Installed some carbon fiber hood vents. compliments the OEM CF mirrors and my CF spoiler pretty well. Much, much better. Trying not to overdue it with too much CF but it’s hard not to want more!
