@Jims_Supra Build Thread - 2022 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium - Absolute Zero (Wrapped KPMF Gloss Indulgent Blue)

[JSmoothBui]

Started following you on IG a few days ago.

I've said it somewhere here already, but love the build. Usually not a fan of big track wings like this, but I feel like it fits your car nicely. Also a fan of the new wheels I saw you post on their

thank you!!! I waiting on my Verus camber plates to dial the front camber in more especially for upcoming track day. And I need to raise the height back up a bit too

Desmond Regamasters…5x120!! These will be my new track setup as a squared 18 setup

18x9.5+45
275/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar3

so with this setup I am running 25mm adapter/spacers for 5x112 to 5x120

so far fitment is super flush but some more camber is ideal and raising the height back up a bit. Possibly to one finger to one finger and a half

I’m on HKS adjustable springs

Installed my Verus Camber Plates and Eibach front sway bar! (Set to stiffest setting)

Verus Camber Plates:
-easy install, followed their online instructions and YouTube video
- https://www.verus-engineering.com/w...ef45ccceb085089eb6326000778c7e3&download=true
-
- I recommend having pass through sockets and Allen keys too for the strut. Also a second jack to help jack the strut up to help align the strut onto the camber plate
-I approached it by jacking the strut up as I tighten a spring compressor on by hand, then removing the center strut bolt and the bringing the strut out, leaving the camber plate on the car then swapping and reinstall

Eibach Front Sway Bar
-Super easy install once the plastic is off. I set to the stiffest setting (innermost hole)
-I only removed the plastic and jacked one half of the car up and easily got it done. I just pushed on the end link to loosen it and realign with the eibach sway bar
-I followed this video

-got the car aligned!

Alignment Specs:
-Front: -3.6 / -3.7 camber with 0 toe up front
-Rear: -2.4 / -2.5 camber with +0.34 total toe

I love the way car handles with the extra camber! I did raise the car height back up to the original height of the HKS springs

no one really had the exact height of how the HKS springs so luckily I installed my friends and counted the threads on his with pics included

HKS Fronts: 22threads
HKS Rears: 14threads

trackday!! TrackNightInAmerica event at Dominion Raceway

all the updated suspension parts and camber really helped the Supra rotate so much better especially with stickier tires over stock

more driver mod and seat time always a plus too!

I wrapped the Supra myself in 3M Satin Battleship Grey

I tested the @Suma Performance Ceramic spray and wow! The beads and install of putting the coating on was super easy, it’s lasted very well so far, will continue to test

in the coming weeks after I wrapped the car, I switched to the StreetHunter Lip

In my opinion the streethunter lip may be an effective splitter option as it extends further past than where my Aimgain did, but it is also fully flat underneath like most functional splitters so I’m assuming it’ll have a better effect than the aimgain so I didn’t have to buy an aftermarket splitter

i wrapped the streethunter lip to emphasize how it’s pretty much a molded lip with a splitter extension, i also added a cheaper version of Sliplo to test

installing the streethunter lip was a little annoying. The holes aren’t predrilled but the dimples are there but I still needed to adjust them as needed. I also added rivets once I removed the oem bumper and lined it with splitter. Pretty straightforward

Amazon Scrape Guard ~$43

Sliplo ~$80
SLIPLO Ultra Universal Front... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KZHFR99?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I like the Sliplo quality more but the scrapeguard from amazon is a cost effective version, Sliplo comes with primer whereas the amazon does not, but I did add primer to the amazon one for peace of mind. The scrapeguard I do like that it has some slides to I guess cut through the air as it’s a splitter guard liner

Keep trying to convince myself that I want to go with Nocturnal but man your build is so nice in white.

Very beautiful wheels! I wanted 265front and 285 rears but tirerack was out of stock of 285 until September so I just put on these from the stock wheels I ran before. Still looks great

camber: -3.6/-3.7 front,-2.4 rears

Wanted to update that I did switch from my Titan catless downpipe to the Armytrix Catless downpipe with the o2 simulator

the pictures show the difference in tapering as the Armytrix seems to be more open and less tapered down than the Titan, also can see the built-in o2 simulator

Armytrix Catless dp I’ve ran for couple months now with NO CEL! Woohoo!
