What did you do to your Supra today?

[Timmy_Jones]

yea that looks like it tucks in very well. I just wish the tips were less F&F looking.

I couldnt agree more...contemplating what can be done. Might hack them off and get something more in line with AWE welded on. Future project.

**heck, I think some black spray paint on those inside pipes to hide them would make a difference.

brb, going to capture video of every car I drive by on the highway...

I think I "race" a lot of cars in my Freightliner every day if that video counts

This is a pretty neat idea, what does the wiring look like under the hood to where you have it hooked up? Did you just use some 3M to keep it there I'm guessing since you said no drilling? Brand please! ?

It's Ctek unit with the 1500mm long leads from memory. The longest leads anyway. Some 3m tape holds it to the plastic trim no issues and the positive lead runs neatly around the back of the engine bay to the positive engine bay terminal. The earth wire connects under a strut bolt on the same side as the unit so it's a short lead. I should say a single hole drilled through plastic is "optional" you could just run the lead over the hood seal but I drilled a single 8mm hole for the positive lead. Remember on LDH cars the wiring will be far shorter and simpler as it will be on the battery terminal side of the car and from memory won't require any drilling at all and you could probably use the Ctek unit with the shorter leads.
Since this image I've re located the wiring under the engine bay brace and you can see where the red positive wire runs around the back of the engine bay attached to existing clips.

I know on paper they beat a MKV Supra around Nürburgring so it was exciting to play with one around town

I don't think that anyone has really set a MKV Supra time at the Nürburgring.

Christian Gebhardt is the one listed on the ring wiki at 7:52.17. Faster than a F series M2 comp, also driven by him.

He did a 8:01 in a FK8 Civic Type R.

Actually yeah now that I look deeper into it, there are TWO FK8 entries, and one is nearly ~10 seconds slower than the Supra's entry. The FK8 that is faster was a non-road-legal FK8 that was recorded on a much cooler day than when the Supra's lap time was recorded. I stand corrected! Supra > Type R

 

[BMWAF]

Supra > Type R

Latest Type R is an FL5, for the record.

Changed oil, got new rear tires. Final prep for Bimmer Invasion. Then to sell these morimoto tail lights when I get back.

Love Borla ? What made you decide to change?

Man that’s some cool lighting!! And way better than the apocalyptic video game looking lights that are always flickering in my garage ?. Need to add that to my to do list….

Yes, I’ve got murder lighting also right now. From my past houses, lighting upgrades are totally worth it.

Lack of valve, really cracking down on exhaust noise around here (thanks to the idiots with their straightpiped Golfs and WRXs on pop/flame tunes)

Having the valve makes it easier to go stealth mode. I am surprised with the difference in the two modes, will give it some time before I write up a review. My initial reaction; AWE sounds better but Borla is really good, fits amazing, tucks up well and has the valve.

Changed oil, updated the JB4 app, adjusted tire PSI.. she is ready to go for the season. Rev'ed her up a couple of times ? The new JB4 app looks nice (no issue re-pairing with the BT module via my iPhone15Pro).

I might do the brake flush later this year or next Spring.

Learned to remove the rotors and calipers.
Added these shiny things to them.

does not rub…

Took it to VIR yesterday, personal best.

Put E30 in my car and tried map 4 on JB4. Felt slower than map 2. What gives?
