New (and old) SupraMKV members say hello!

[UCLAKoolman]

Hello, I've had my 2021 Supra 3.0 Premium for about two weeks now. This forum has already been great in helping me understand a trunk issue with the car that arose within a day of me taking delivery (emergency release handle was hanging loose and became stuck in the trunk door - making it unable to open). A week later and my local dealer was able to resolve the issue.

Other than that, this car has been perfect so far. The previous owner had a paint protection film installed on the hood and had also installed nice-looking carbon fiber wind diffusers (I was ready to do the $10 hack for that). So far I've put in some weathertech floor mats and swapped the logos on them with a GR Supra one.

My current planned mods are cosmetic. I have some carbon fiber things coming in the mail, including the Rexspeed lip spoiler.

Rarely do I see one of these cars around where I live (Little Rock, AR) and this car is turning a lot of heads around here. It's sure adding some enjoyment to my twisty forest drive home.

Welcome welcome!

For the trunk fix: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...e-soft-vacuum-connector-assortment/dag0/47432

One of those connectors fits perfectly and will hold your hatch release in place.

Welcome @GTGallop

Congrats to you and your wife for picking up a new Supra!

This is a great community to be apart of to help you get familiar with your new car, tons of information on the site as well as informative members and vendors.

Would love to see some photos of your Supra when you get the chance.

Are you the same Discount Tire guy over on Ranger 5G?

There are a few of us that message on the forums we sponsor: Don, Doug, Price and myself (Matt). We are a supporting vendor on Ranger5G as well!

Hello everyone, I'm located in Canada and I've been a big fan of the Supra for a few years, but I held out on buying one in hopes that the manual would one day go into production. Recently I managed to get an allocation for a 2023 Manual Supra, which i'm aware will most likely not be delivered before next May...

So in the mean time, here I am, excited as ever to learn how to best waste my hard earned money on aftermarket parts for this toy.

I haven't driven the Supra yet so I have no concrete plans, but i'd like to learn more about suspension setups and wheel/tire options that work well with the car. I'll probably select some bolt on mods as well (exhaust, cooling, fuel, intake, tune).. No idea what's necessary but i'll read through the forums and see what everyone else's experience is!

Hi Everyone,

I put a deposit down on a 2023 manual last Thursday, first at my dealer to do so. Now the waiting game. Still have to decide on the colour... yellow or the new blue.....

Your color choice will depend on the allocation your dealer gets. They get what they get. You cannot custom order Toyotas right now.

Hi everyone! I am Carl, I joined a while ago but life has been chaos the last few years so I am just getting around to being active here. Settling in the Charlotte area

I am just finishing 20 years army time, long time car dork and I'm excited to turn a weekend hobby into full time.

I had a Brz before my Mk5 and I was one of the supreme Mk5 haters. Before I saw it in person and drove it. Now I'm a total fanboy.

this is actually my second Mk5, my first one was white and some girl hit me and totaled it before it's first oil change. Now I have a wonderful banana rocket.

I build lots of parts but I won't go into that so the ban hammer swinging forum gods don't nuke me before I get set up properly.

Why I'm broke:

-AMS intake (might sell soon)
-FTP charge pipe
-CSF manifold
-CSF heat xgr
-CSF radiators
-CSF oil cooler
-Redstar catless dp
-Akrapovic link-pipe
-Driveway Labs "turn downs for what"
-Radium dual catch cans
-Eventuri headlight duct ( modded )
-AMS engine cover ( modded )
-Driveway Labs bling panels
-HKS adjustable springs
-Rexspeed red carbon flappy paddles
-Rexspeed carbon door handle covers
-Speed Industry blingy start button
-CSG Spec brake pads
-Endless brake fluid (CSG supplied)
-Motul 300v (CSG supplied) is oil a mod?
-APR GT300 wing
-Driveway Labs wind buffet fix
-Iconix project kics lugs
-ARP stud conversion
-Driveway Labs rear diffuser prototype
-Driveway Labs front splitter prototype

coming for 2022:

-2021 ecu unlock and tuning (still hush hush, not anyone currently doing it, done here in Charlotte, but very soon)
-E85 build
-Big turbo build
-Driveway Labs full aero package
-other Driveway Labs parts

Hey y'all! Haven't taken delivery yet, but still waiting on my 2022 3.0 Premium in Renaissance Red. Last update I got was my vehicle arrived at Port of Long Beach on 4/29. Just waiting for it to make it to the dealer .

Has been pretty fun lurking the forums and browsing what happens on here! Can't wait to get it.

Thanks! I’ve caught myself standing in the garage a few times just staring at it over the last week that’s for sure.
