What did you do to your Supra today?

[Syeeee]

Posting seems to have really taken a dive on all threads here.

Winter time for some/most (me)

Winter time for some/most (me)

Well, with snow, yes, the Supra gets pampered. lol

I had an all wheel drive GTX Eclipse and loved the performance. In the snow, it was superb.

I had to have the engine replaced though. I used a K&N filter for some time and that screwed the engine. The mechanic I used, as the engine got worse and worse, showed me the wear and issues and said the filter allowed a lot of particles to get by, even though he could tell I had oiled the filter correctly. He also raced cars and said he would never use that filter. I contacted K&N and with proof, even with that, they would do nothing and offered no explanation. They just wanted to cut and run.

Anyway, I use the OEM air filter on the Supra. Great vehicle!

States that posting has taken a dive here, then proceeds to post about an Eclipse GSX in a "What did you do to your Supra today" thread.

States posting has taken a dive here, then posts about an Eclipse GSX in a "What did you do to your Supra today" thread.

Posting in regards to discussing in general.

In other words, I would not use a K&N filter in my Supra, ever! I wish someone had warned me!

That’s mostly because we are sick and tired of repeating ourselves about:

1) What oil to use
2) Tires for the OEM wheels
3) The break-in period
4) Corvettes
5) What exhaust do I get?
6) What color do I get?
7) What spoiler do I get?

and so on and so forth…

I understand. I thought in general, there would be more observations of just discussions.

Must be the winter, I don't see many, well none, on the road here but even in the summer only 1 or 2 local, besides mine.

I have seen a number of Corvettes. LOL

What oil should we use though? Can I use Long Life+ rated air in my OEM tires?

Bought Drive Shaft Shop Axles and Carbon Fiber Driveshaft - still have to figure out my trans issue, but I got them on a great deal - almost 1k less together!

no thats basic bitch air. You need premium air! But its planetwide backorder!

Why are you taking off the caliper bolts to change the brake pads?

Also, OEM caliper bolts are cheaper. BMW #34106864424

By changing the rotors as well. I did buy the Toyota/BMW ones 1st. Delay in getting here (still waiting) & overkill while shopping online led me to those. So I bought em ? You never know, I might be faster now ?

You’re right. That’s why I thought the caliper bolts would have really spiced things up!

Stripped and ready for a roll bar ? sending it off to the fab shop on Monday

 

[razorlab]

I don’t take them off, lol. But frequently loosening and tightening them back up, do they wear over time? I did buy the Toyota/BMW ones 1st. Delay in getting here (still waiting) & overkill while shopping online led me to those. So I bought em ? You never know, I might be faster now ?

Why are you loosening the caliper bolts at all for a brake pad change?
