Damn brotha! Same happened to me. But she took the hit well. They totaled mine. Gave me over what I paid. Hope the market is still in the same situation in that regard. It is just a car but… like you, I really enjoyed it. So, I immediately started searching and found another grey with red interior in 2022. Love your beige interior and CU later grey. Best color combo imo. Glad ur okay!!Physically, fine for the most part. I got an interesting abrasion burn on my left arm from the steering wheel airbag. There's an easter egg in that wound pattern
Mentally, still processing. This car is really special to me, but it's still just a car in the end. It won't be fully realized until I get word from the insurance company if they deem it a total loss or not. Then I have to figure out my next move..

Some pics of the turbo, turbo heatshield, and mani installed. It's getting Sameh tuned today... dyno and street. Have an CF engine cover on it's way... so I can hack it in half. total BS.
Bought new braces (AFe) but they don't fit with the eventuri intake. Looking for options.

Had 1050cc injectors installed too. Waiting for the BM3 PI controller. If it doesn't come out this year, probably gonna piggyback a Reflex.

Well this was a quick turn of events. No tuning today. Sameh had and emergency of some sort. Trying to find a time for tomorrow or Saturday.
Was really looking forward to beating this thing up this weekend. Shit happens.

How much power are you pushing?

Stock power, but the car is driven primarily on track in manual mode. Iunderstand the main pro would be the line pressure bump to combat a slipping trans, but I'm not at that level to need yet. I figured with all the hooplah surrounding xHP, there would be a more *noticable* difference in trans behavior.

If you're shifting manually you won't notice as much, the "feel". This assumes yours is an AT. In sport/at and around 440whp or more, it just bangs through the gears

Your parking position is perfect. Look, I am the kinda crazy dude to get places 30 minutes earlier than I need to, just to drive around and/or wait for the perfect end/corner spot to appear, to avoid doorings and be far from other cars - so with that in mind I still have to say, I think in fairness the SUV car parking is ok, sure it's not perfect, but it's within the lines, so it seems fair enough and what I expect from the average person, perhaps in a hurry - bear in mind, they don't give a fuck about our Supras, only we do.Came out of the Dr. to this.

9 days and 3 tow trucks later, my car is finally at the body shop. I have a feeling this is only the beginning of the nightmare I am about to go through. Now to start looking into how to claim for loss of value if its not totaled.

Loogie on the door handle can get the message across. Plus, if it matters, you can drive away knowing you didn’t leave any actual damage.Came out of the Dr. to this. It's worse than it looks. I'm thin and could hardly get in. Come on bro!!
