What did you do to your Supra today?

[FLtrackdays]

Been a while since I had updates, adding a stable mate for the Supra, found a GR Corolla that I'll be picking up end of week and driving from CA to WA.

Saw one at the track. It was funny because our local NASA chapter always asks who’s here with a new GR car for their free track day. We all clap and welcome them. This last time someone said they heard there was a GR Corolla on the roster. So the grand poo-ba asked the driver to stand up. He did and was famous all day long ? Everyone was following that guy around, asking questions, looking at his car. Despite the fact there are Ferraris & Porsches galore. Congrats bud!

I parked that sucker. Yesterday I tracked it at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, what an awesome track beast. The first time I tracked it there with stock suspension and factory tires, the tires chunked after 3 sessions and I had to go home early. I got SPL everything for it (the whole kit), had my tech install, align and tune it and put cheater tires on it. Now I'm edging closer to the under 2:00 club there. On the check ride my tech (a much better driver than I am) said the car was throwable. That car is incredible.

Welcome to the you must be cheating club, lol. That’s how it feels. The car is fantastic with some better rubber. Add some SPL parts and lawd help us! Try keeping up with the MX5 in the corners. When you can do that, your times will be insane ?. I’ll go find the best MX5 driver and ask if I can follow him/her out the next session. If you haven’t done this already. So much fun dude!!

Tossable is the term I'm used to, and it's quite a compliment to any machine. My old (now the backup/guest) snowmobile fits that category, and it basically means the handling is so well sorted and confidence inspiring, that one can purposely throw it into a corner with reckless abandon, unsettling the chassis, and then proceed to reel it back in line, every single time the operator wants to.

Not sure if this has been answered before, but can anyone provide the part number for the gr strut brace?

Hey guys I want to paint the brake calipers but I’m not 1000% set on a color.. any Suggestions??

 

[NJA90]

The cars allllll blacked out aside from the engine bay.. I was leaning on a yellow for the brake calipers but I’m not 100% sure now..

rapid blue? Neon green? Any suggestions or paint color codes would much be appreciated

My thoughts exactly!

I see you put on an OEM MKIV script badge. I ordered one of those expecting it to be black and a little closer to the scale of the MKV oem badge but was left disappointed.
So, I made my own of correct scale and more than a sticker like the OEM MKIV badge script.

2 for 1 special.
Removed rear badges, I personally prefer no badging.
Painted OEM Tips black

May not be for everyone but wife approved ?

With your satin black, a gold/bronze caliper would look bad ass in my opinion.

The MKIV badge is cool! But lets also talk about the GR badge too. Did you make that as well?

Got the 305’s for the rear and put the 275 up front. Will hold off with mounting the new wheels until after the NASA event on the 20th.

Installed the Armaspeed CF intake (to accompany my MHD tune). It makes great sounds and also looks good under the hood.
