What did you do to your Supra today?

[DermDoc]

Holy balls your car is sick!

I'll wait, because I don't want to spend that extra coin on something I can get for nothing if I'm patient. Plus, I'm secretly hoping I'm 'forced' to get Nocturnal on Cognac (Hazelnut) instead.. because I'd wrap it in an Aston Martin British Racing Green and have my ultimate dream combo, and arguably one of the best color pairings in automotive history.

Makes sense to me! Good luck and I hope you get the car you're looking for. That is an awesome combo

Swapped the standard A90 brakes with some g80 m3 brakes ?

Which adapter did you use?

Not exactly Supra-related, but I said goodbye to my six-speed daily driver Yaris this afternoon, another fairly unique car that is extremely hard to replace. Second time in 11 months that I've had a total loss, but this one was 0% my fault. Coming back from a concert last Monday night, God damn asshole deer, decided to really fuck up my schedule over here. It was a six-point buck at 76 mph, with zero time to react. Battery cable & wire harness were severed instantly, hood into windscreen, locked up all four wheels and nearly entered the ditch at an angle. I'm perfectly fine, just flustered.

Now both cars in this photo are gone ?

Could have gone so much worse though, so I have to be thankful, and insurance is coming through in spades again.

Engine likely ingested some debris..

Lastly, speedo is frozen in time...kinda eerie

Installed the Verus camber plates, track wheel setup (VS-5RS on A052 295/35), and wheel alignment check.

Got the -3 camber upfront I was aiming for, but was recommended front endlinks and tie rods. Is that necessary?

Have 2 track days coming up in November, so trying to get the car dialed in before then. ?

Yes we need answers damn it

Thanks man. Halfway home I was like "damn it's such a beautiful night, I really should've brought the Viper instead." This exact accident in that car would have resulted is serious injury or worse. Explains why I'm shaken up by it, even though I've been driving that stretch of highway at least twice daily for the last ten years, and there's fresh kills every other week. It's just a numbers game in the grand scheme..

Did they explain why they recommended those? I have a hard time believing they are maxing out the toe adjustment.

I listed the adapters I used in the BBK thread. Just curious which ones he has used.

So when I was under the car with him, he pointed out the front passenger tie rod may be hitting. When I asked if it's preventing him from making the proper alignment he said yes.

The tie rods and endlinks are not touching, but maybe under full lock it could be hitting.

Hitting what? Endlinks? How are tie rod ends going to help with that? They shouldn't even be close to the endlinks.

Are you sure he wasn't pointing to the caster arm?

Ignore the arrows in these photos but you can see the tie rods shouldn't be close to the endlink at all.

Appreciate the help .

The blue arrows was what he said could be hitting.

The endlink will never get close to the tie rod as you are showing with the blue arrows in the first photo.

In the second photo, the sway bar wouldn't come close unless the end links were significantly shorter.

Do you have aftermarket coilovers or OEM struts?

In these photos, you can see even at full droop it doesn't even get close. Everything articulates.

Out of all the arms pictured, the caster arm (yellow arrow in second photo) comes the closest and can contact the tie rod with super low cars if the tie rod end is not spaced down.
