What did you do to your Supra today?

[nibble]

Added Cusco STB.

 

[ikingkhaos]

Installed my V2 spoiler

Man, that looks good! Do you happen to have more pictures of it?

Damn, I’m one of those people that can’t get the start button off. So I haven’t done anything yet.

Couldn't get mine off either until I hit the start button with rubbing alcohol, twice.
Once I did that, it came out on the third try after, no sh!t, two weeks of trying....almost daily.

Good luck!

Bought the Garmin Dashcam Mini 2 on sale with Garmin Hardwire kit. Super small that hides nicely behind the rearview mirror as if there is nothing on the windshield at all.
(More info - Post 113 > https://www.supramkv.com/threads/da...dash-cams-are-you-guys-using.8210/post-166047 )

I went ahead and added the rear dash camera. I will say routing the wire through the hatch door is a bit tricky. More info on on my post here

I lowered the rear of the car last night. I had a mechanic in the area explain to me how to use a come-along and some ratchet straps on the control arms to relieve the tension on the springs.
All you do is:

1. remove the lower mounting bolt of your shocks.
2. wrap your ratchet straps at the end of each control arm and connect to the come-along.
3. place a block on the differential cooler to keep the come-along at a "V" to have leverage to pull the control arms down.
4. One you relieve the tension on the spring you can adjust the nut by hand. (Make sure to loosen the locking bolt if you coilover have one on the nut.)
5. Remove all your straps.
6. If have two people, one can lift up on the suspension assembly by the rotors while the other slides the bolt back in the shock mount. The smart thing would be to use a jack or a underhoist to do this... but I didn't have that shit.

Props to my wife for getting those bolts back into the shocks.

With this method you do not have to have a spanner wrench AND you don't lose your alignment doing it this way. You just adjust the nut by hand.

I'm new to this game, so I am super grateful that he showed this to me. From what I understand this isn't common knowledge. I had two different specialist shops in the area complain about having to remove everything to use the spanner wrench to adjust the rear coilovers.

Hopefully this helps someone out. I'll try to make a video this weekend to demonstrate. I should have done it last night. Oh well.

Anyways. I only lowered the rear by about 5mm. Any lower and it would start scraping when going over huge humps or dips on the road. It helped reduce the rake and I can no longer squeeze my knuckles through the gap. Wheel fitment is now absolutely complete in my books... until I get a second set of wheels ?.

I got rid of the stock downpipe.

Let me know how that Install goes. I don't know if I'm going to do it or leave it up to people who actually know what they're doing to do it.

We’ve basically taken the whole rear suspension apart. If there’s an easier way, I don’t know it. 3 hours in and axles are out. Reassembly should be easy, but we’re breaking for lunch.

Will have some soon. Currently polishing and ceramic coating wheels plus waiting on my DME to return from getting unlocked.

Thin 13mm crow foot wrench and I got the NV Specialities radiator cover on.
