What did you do to your Supra today?

[romanLegion9574]

The car's now at the shop to fix the bumper after last fall's fender bender. Gonna be down for a while, so I'm keeping my eye on the used car market for a grocery-getter.

How bad was the damage. Why's it in for that long?

I’ll go first. Today I learned if you hold down the unlock bottom the driver and passenger windows will roll all the way down. Holding the lock will roll up and fold the mirrors!

Huh.. didn't know that either! You learn something new everyday.

Got these beautiful tow hooks delivered today.

Got some cool shots going through turns 1 and 2 at autoclub speedway at my top speed

How scary was it? I had my Evo up to 151mph, per GPS. I have very little aero, and 275 DOT tires. I started drifting up towards the wall a bit and had to bring it back down before I puckered ?

So I did a thing.

I'm waiting for my Supra to arrive and while I'm not a sticker fanatic - or a designer or anything - I thought of something funny and well, I got a small run of them made.

If anyone is interested in buying one - they're about 5cm by 20cm long and designed to sit in the middle of the back window on the lower blacked out portion of the glass. At least that's where mine is going.. if Toyota ever deliver my bloody car!

Please let me know if anyone is interested and I'll start a thread. Just be aware that because it was such a small run, these will likely be around $12USD each (including shipping to the US).

I'm told the stickers will last a few years in the elements as they are made for external use.

You should always treat your car like your woman: Get inside her once a day and take her to heaven and back. ?

Hahaha! That is so great!

Yes they are! So, I actually prefer the "feel" of the AutoTecknic paddles, since they are smooth and curved, vs the flat blade type paddles on the JQ Werks. However i love the drama of the mechanism on the JQ Werks.



Nothing wrong with my old wheel, but I wanted 2 changes - 1, different color scheme, and 2, I didnt care for the overly contoured grips on the one I had. Just a personal preference.

Do you mind taking some photos from the sides of the wheel? Interested in the clearance between the stalks, as well as the clearance from the wheel to the paddle. Current paddles I have are slightly curved outwards and it impacts the 'nub' on the wiper stalk.

I got scared as hell on my first attempt through at top speed/full throttle - I was not ready and drifted up into the middle of the track, eventually I figured out I need to turn the wheel 90 degrees to account for the extra speed and found a line I didn't scrub to much speed ... i never got really close to the wall even though I should have been - tried following a ferrari running a 1:43 that hugged it but I just couldn't only managed a 1:48

Most wheels dont have as exaggerated of a rear hump, thats just how mine got built. Spacing works pretty well.

Nice flaps. I’m really starting to hate stock flaps, they are just to small.
