What did you do to your Supra today?

[Teleguy11]

@Evolution @_Sp1ral0ut @FLtrackdays @bushido @zrk @Jesse DaBears

Update: The car, which I had named Sasha, is totaled. Preliminary repair estimate, in total parts & labor was $41,254.48.

Was able to swap out my Armytrix downpipe, RK Ti exhaust, @NitroYellowMKV steering wheel, JB4, Injen intake, Raceseng shift knob, OEM+ hood vents & center caps, with the stock parts. I signed the papers, turned my keys in, and said my final goodbye yesterday afternoon. I expect her to resurface in the Salvage Registry, and I'll have to update the A91-MT owner's thread.

My insurance company (AmFam), towing service, and body shop experiences have all been truly excellent, which I feel so lucky for, as horror stories are so common.

Chapter two of my MKV story may be over, but chapter three is going to be long and amazing, where the fun will really begin in my opinion. As I wait for the check, the hunt for her replacement has already begun..

Can I purchase your gorgeous seats????

Installed the first ever semi plug and play remote start; not thru femto.

What kit?

Got both my holes filled today… not that stoked with these Triple Seven plugs. The fit is pretty meh, and why wouldn’t they match the bumper color? I know that 3D printing yields a rough, matte finish but I should have paid more attention when I ordered them. Will need a much nicer solution for the carbon bumper. All the 3D printed stuff I get ends up being actual junk but I don’t learn my lesson ?

Edit: I never should have installed them.

If you ceramic coat that porous 3D printed material, it'll hold a deeper shine way closer to the oem satin black. I did that on my Verus splitter end plates and it's night and day difference. Looks way better.

@Blindspot
Raw 3D printed material on the Verus Splitter endplates VS ceramic coated

Finally got to those creaky panels.

*** Yes those are @zrk's jeans.

Harness thinning?

Tip: Don’t remove the ambient temp sensor.

Of course!! They'll probably sell for more than you'd want to pay though, as they're going to come still attached to a munched car..

Not sure what you mean.. Are you asking if you can cut into the metal to make the three small holes one large one?

If that is what you mean, I guess you could but I don't know if it would necessarily improve the sound quality further. It would certainly help getting that damned wadding to line the walls - its hard to tell how successful I was with that, as an aside.

Told you it was dumb, lol. I was hoping that box was hollow & I could just put a 2” drill bit up to it, cut two holes and be done with it. Yeah… never mind. Wishful thinking on my part.

Meanwhile, mine is back at the day spa getting some track work done. Don’t know what’d I do w/out my little MX5. That little 6 speed is still as fun to drive as it was back in 2016. Sound is actually pretty damn good for a convertible. At least for my low standards.

Told you it was dumb, lol. I was hoping just putting the 2” bit up to the back of the box, cut two holes and be done with it. Yeah… never mind. Wishful thinking on my part.

In his posts, Tadda suggests that around 80% improvement comes from just porting the subwoofer box. If you want to port it via a 2" drill bit, I'm guessing it would do the trick.. but it might look like someone's drilled a 2" drill bit into the panel. ?

Nice, looks like NJMP?

Where are you in NY? Planning on any Lime Rock visits?

 

[rwense]

Got my Triple Seven GT4 hood vent in...now just mentally preparing myself to start cutting holes ?

Also got a Speed Engineering intake snorkel along with 2 free brake duct funnels since once started to deform a bit. Just sent them an email and they offered to replace it no questions asked ?

Thanks and yes it is NJMP.
I'm based in nyc so it's always a drive for me to get to NJMP.

I plan on going there for next season

I'm hoping to hit LRP next season, stayed there for the Gridlife Circuit Legends event and realized I definitely need to come back. It's a hike for me in Pittsburgh but worth it.
