Nice!

Not on the supra, but I have had luck poking a long screw driver in to push the backing plate back and let the rock fall out.

Not sure if you have them in your area, but Ace Hardware has the best selection by me. I would not count on galvanized from experience, go with stainless steel. In the interim, I would take the fasteners out and wire wheel them to remove all the rust. Then use anti-seize on the threads and...

You'll never get that time back from the offending pump though ;) I remember when it happened to me it felt like a half hour!

Since there is only one wheel listed (that I saw) I'm assuming it should clear both. If/when we get this I will confirm fitment and post back....likely a while though.

I've read several posts of people getting a small pebble stuck between the disc and the backing plate. Any chance this could be it? The swoosh noise I'm at a loss. Do you have a vid you can post with the sounds?

This is still a good idea. However, most manufactures (BMW included) recommend driving slowly to get up to speed rather than idling. Not sure on the Supra, but on other BMWs I had/have, the lights on the tachometer increase to indicate what the maximum RPM is for the temp. Also to note, BMW...

Same plan here. Did you test fit to make sure it clears the calipers front/back?

Appreciate the info!

Please post your impressions once you receive.

Good info. Since this is my GF's car we would not keep the spare in the car unless on a long trip. Plan would be if she gets a flat to call me, then I throw the spare, floor jack, and tools in my truck and come to the rescue. I'll see what she wants to order. But I do like the all inclusive...

Not sure if this is still of interest as it's an old post but...pulling from my BMW experience, here's how the stereo works...will be confirming if this applies to the Supra but it should as preliminary tests seem to be the same as my BMW: 1) There is no way to turn the stereo off unless the...

Does anyone have any opinions on the OEM vs the Modern Spare version? I saw a link for a OEM spare from a wrecked Supra at a good price.

I actually liked the "tiny" lol. My X3MC is way brighter and has the ambient lighting as well so I guess I got used to that! I feel Toyota could have squeezed a dome light in there. Actually, this may be a good excuse to look into brighter LEDs :)

Well we decided on a PPF shop based upon the glowing reviews. Stopped by last night and left a deposit for the full PPF/ceramic. This shop is crazy - they had a McLaren, Lambo, and other exotic cars in there but the price was in line with smaller shops and better than a lot of them. The shop...

Thanks! Looks like they are going on Ebay....

@30MilesOffshore First, this is awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to document! Second, I have BavSound Ghost subs in my parts bin. I plan to do this porting mod but wonder if it is better with the Ghost subs?

For my car, I'm with you. I would have no problem doing 1/4 drag strip but the little "track" time I had (BMW M event in a parking lot) was hell on the cars. Good points - I will give her the pros/cons and let her make a decision.

She was interested but I am concerned to track it while in the break-in. Do most people wait until after the first service? Also the track beats the hell out of the car, no?

Thanks!
