New member here, just recently bought my A91 Refraction loving the color!

Coming from Hondas & Mitsubishi this is a breath of fresh air!

I’m looking forward to seeing what can be done with the A90 platform.

CONGRATS! I'm actually from FL - keep her out of that sun

Hey guys, new to the group here.

Picked up my 2021 Premium last year in November.

Absolutely love the car, can’t wait to see what it does with a tune and a few bolt ons honeslty. Just waiting for the ECU to be cracked at this point. Until then I’ll continue to enjoy the ride and learn as much as I can about the platform.

I’m Nate. Living in the SF Bay Area. I own a 2022 Supra A91-CF Edition in Absolute Zero white.

You can find me on IG and TikTok at @nateogracing.

I have just a tad over 1,500 miles on the car as of now. Bought it at Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, for MSRP, just a few weeks ago. (El Monte is just outside of LA for those who don’t know.)

It was on this forum I learned that Longo sells all their cars at MSRP. So thanks to you all, I was able to find the car I want at the price I want. So thank you all!

Jimmy Phan was the dealer at Longo who sold me my car. He drives a black Launch Edition. Feel free to reach out to him if y’all are looking for a Supra at MSRP, or any Toyota.

My previous car was a 2017 Toyota 86, bought just below MSRP from San Francisco Toyota. I loved that car a ton, but I wanted to step up to something more powerful and refined. The Supra is perfect in that regard.

My Supra is also me making good on a promise I made to myself. I’d been eyeing the MKV Supra since it’s debut. In September 2020, I learned I had colon cancer. After 3 surgeries and 6 months of chemo that ended in May 2021, there is no longer any evidence of cancer in my body, and I am working with my oncologist, GI and primary care NP to live as healthy as possible. And to also be ready in case cancer comes back. Hopefully it won’t. But during chemo, I promised myself that if/when I make it through, I’d get myself a Supra as a gift for making it and as motivation to keep going. To work as hard as possible to make this next chapter in life the best it can be both personally and professionally. And to keep appreciating the blessings I do have in life.

Originally I planned on many mods, including new wheels, dropping the car, a roll cage, and the usual intake, down pipe, exhaust, tune combos that bring the car closer to 500 hp and 500 lb-ft. But after landing a A91-CF Edition, and it being just one of 600, and me enjoying the car so much in stock form, I am thinking of leaving the car stock and just appreciating what a great car this is from the factory.

So far the only changes are Toyota OEM carbon mirror caps and Toyota OEM alloy wheel locks, both installed by City Toyota in Daly City, just outside of SF. No other mods currently planned… though I may eventually change the strut tower braces. I’m keeping the original parts, however, for any changes to the car I do make.

One last note: I broke the car in by way of a road trip. LA to Phoenix with my brother. Then Phoenix to LA to SF with my Dad. They love the car as much as I do, and taking this road trip with them left us with some memories we’ll never forget. You can see some photos and video from that road trip on my @nateogracing IG account.

Now for a few pics…

Congrats Gabriel! I saw the Perrine Bridge in the background and had to do a double take on your location to make sure it really was T.F. I was seeing once again.
I still have family there and actually got my first job at Wills Toyota a few decades ago. Enjoy that Supra!

Hey everyone, I'm Gary from the Bay Area in California. I'm pretty new to the forums but find myself checking this multiple times a day for new information. So thank you all.

I have a 2022 Nocturnal 3.0 Premium and I purchased it Certified Pre owned with 200 miles on it. It was practically new and I fell in love with it the moment I sat in it. I'm sure I paid more than I should but with the Certified Pre owned inspection I now have warranty for 100,000 miles or 7 years, which ever comes first! This was very important to me because I plan to keep this for a long while.

Currently all I have done to it is a Full Front PPF, including A pillars, rockers, doors. I have ceramic tints done, 35 in the back and 50 in front. I know I messed up going with 50s, I regret it! GO DARKER ON YOUR TINTS!

So far what I have planned is nothing too invasive due to it being my daily. (I love it as a daily btw)
Next up will be a MST v2 Intake, ZL1 Rock Guards, 13mm Burger Spacers, Rexspeed Carbon Spoiler, and hopefully some carbon mirror cap replacements.

Beautiful! Nice to see Bay Area peeps on here.

Thank you Jay! Haha, yes sir, that would be the one, it’s about one of the few good spots to get some good pictures here. Oh nice, yeah I was actually gonna pick up a Supra from good old Wills, until I came across this one right over the Oregon border. They had a price that I couldn’t pass up, so here we are now ?

Lovely colour! Haven’t seen one in this colour in Australia yet, in fact I don’t think this A91 is available here.

 

[Grimsby]

Had Xpel PPF wrap just completed on mine, looks even better now and wish I’d done it sooner to minimise some minor chips! Still turning heads ?

Hi guys,
cheers from Rome ,Italy!
New member here, actually i own a Supra mkIV (2jzgte/6 speed) since 2007, car is now single turbo bw366 with all the sorrounding mods (standalone ecu, fuel system, ic, exhaust, ecc.ecc.), around 500/600hp at the moment, and enjoying it.

I have to be honest, i'm one of the mkiv/2jzgte fanboy that blasted the new supra since day 1...."it's a bmw rebadged and blablabla" ....after some times, looking some reviews, and looking deeper on specs, with open mind..... i started liking it, much modern, stiffer chassis, good engine that is capable of lots of power completely stock, with the old supra feeling, but in 2020 design and technology.

Looking to get one in the future, maybe with some mods on it to bring it in the 500/600whp range.

Right know i want to know everything about this car, pros, cons and so on.

 

[nashcarr]

Had it for a week, took it to the Dragon! Sucks that I cant drive it much (winter) soon.

 

[Leaning]

New mk5 owner. I have the 2022 premium 3.0. Has a little over 1000 miles on it already and I picked this baby up on October 30.

.

Almost everything about the car is the same since pick up except I now have winter wheels on and ceramic coating done.

 

[MisoSup]

I'm a new A90 owner. I've been on the forum for a while now but I guess I missed this section. My bad y'all.

I'm from San Antonio and have a white 2021 3.0 Premium.

Always wanted a Supra growing up but by the time I made real money they were crazy expensive.

Hit me up if your in South Texas. I'll buy the first round of tacos!

Hey everyone - I recently picked up a new-to-me (~10k miles) 2020 Supra in Renaissance Red 2.0. Was interested in the unlocked ecu and lower risk of oil consumption issues. After getting a taste of RWD with my drift 350z (and selling it), I wanted a RWD coupe that's more friendly on the streets. I experienced the B58+ZF8 at a BMW UDE, rented a 3.0 on Turo, and now here I am. I'm in the Tampa, FL, area, by the way.

I also have a 2017 GTI (DSG, JB4, brake mods). I have a long background with GTIs (incl. autocross and HPDE), and I'm excited to grow into the RWD+B58+ZF8 platform in the Supra.

No plans on drifting this (maybe some fun in parking lots) - just want a fast, fun, visually exciting street car.
