These vehicles don't utilize the mini-drum & parking shoe setup, instead using an electric actuator to twist and clamp the rear caliper piston down. Considering the strain it puts on those components, and the fact that the pads could stick to the rotor, it's just not a good thing to do on a level surface anyways.
Thank you ~ I added a disposable plastic cover with semi elastic at the bottom today as well (keeps any dust particles out). Many use these temp covers at car show when a brief shower passes over. Less than $15Andrew - looks great! Nice garage and nice companion for your Supra.
Be careful with that. I had a friend that stored a car exactly like that years ago and moisture was trapped because of the plastic cover. Mold grew and ruined some of the paint.Thank you ~ I added a disposable plastic cover with semi elastic at the bottom today as well (keeps any dust particles out).

~ Thanks. Good point.
I just cleaned my engine today. No powerwashing, it took 3 hours! Can you really power wash a car without damaging the engine?~ Yes I do so at one of the diy quarter car washes in town (hot soap & water along with good pressure). I wash the engine at least once a month along with the underside of the hood. No issue are created with the soap or water.
No degreaser or cleaners are necessary.
I also don’t recommend spraying it down with tire dressing either (just promotes dust collection). I prefer the clean natural state.
~ You certainly can... with zero issues.
Video would be great. Thank you!~ You certainly can... with zero issues.
Yours looks great but you spent 3 hours on what can be done in 5-10 minutes.
I’ll video it next time for ya. Easy as … wash, rinse and dry.
Not if I wired in your stuff.
