What did you do to your Supra today?

[Gabe]

Renovating the garage. Supra has been out for a week. Almost done.

Wrong colour for garage walls and floors. The black/charcole colour sucks the lumens out of your illumination. A reflective white although somewhat dirt showing make a massive difference to the amount of working light you have on whatever you are doing. We even painted the hangar floors white for added light and it made a massive difference with the same illumination source. Too late for you but others might consider when painting their garages.

I don't think he cared about that. It looks F*ing cool. Bring brighter lights into it to make it more functional while still looking badass.

Anyone that paints walls and ceilings black in a habitable or working space gives zero F's about what you are talking about, which, let's be honest, is what most people think about your posts here.

I'm actually interested if you have any friends, because every post you make is just taking a crap on others people joy.

Did somebody just call out Phillimeana?

Black can also have a good cinematic effect for photos/video, since black is used as negative fill, and your light source is intentional (instead of fighting against light spill). Gives your photos a nice contrasty touch you wouldn't have otherwise. And yea, you can just use more light if you need it when you're working.

At least my posts annoy you so thats a bonus

I've called his idiotic crap out for years here.

And hows that been working out for you?

Rear bumper cut, evap & charcoal delete, custom exhaust. Preparing for new aero setup. Threw in a new wheel while I was at it.

Do you have any close up pics of that fitment?

Here are some pics with the whole car in frame. on 18" wheels wrapped in 295/30 CRS tires
Front: 332mm
Rear: 343mm

I'm very likely going to lower the car a bit more this week to something like this:
Front: 320mm
Rear: 330mm

So i'm sticking with the 10mm rake, but lowering the car ever so slightly.

Nice try but that wing just isn't big enough.

Love the car. You're just running too much rear AoA though.

Thanks bud

I don't think so man. It was about 8 degrees there. I think to make that comment you need to be familiar with both the wing itself since AoA isn't a blanket thing and the track/layout.

of course you might know better than me, but in that case what's the rationale behind your comment?

Sorry about the blurry pic, but FYR. Newtons

I concur 8 degrees is probably the ideal AOA for the GTC300. You can see the sides have some bad separation at 10 degrees and up when the downforce stays flat but drag starts to shoot up.

You may want to look into the GTC 500 if you're able to get those easily in your region. The gentler twist angle allows them to keep making downforce all the way up to 18 deg.

None of these parts will ever be available locally. And yeah the shipping hurts.

I have a gurney flap on the way to test for now. If kamispeed ever decide to ship it since it's been 3 weeks already.

A little bit later down the line (3-4 months) I'll be swapping out the wing for something more aggressive to match the front splitter I have on order. I don't know which one yet. Zebulon. AJ Hartman. Something along those lines.

Edit: I have the 67" inch GTC300 btw
