UK Supra - Lighting Yellow 2022

[SCZ4]

Very nice! Makes a big difference and contrasts really well against the yellow!

Was the a bumper off job?

With my OCD, I'd of had to spray the yellow plastic black behind the bumper intakes.

Thanks! Bumper stays in place, both vents just pop off using interior trim removal tools.

Had the car paint corrected and ceramic coated. Extremely happy with how its come out.

Scooped up a few Black Friday deals on parts so will add them to the OP.

The supra will have its first track day on the 3rd, weather is looking to be dry around 3-5c. That should be fun!

So first trackday completed in this Supra. On my birthday no less, a nice crisp December morning around 4c at Oulton Park.

The car was seriously impressive, I’m so glad the track stayed dry as I could fully exploit its power.

Blown away by the staying power of the car, I managed to stay out for 40 minutes before tyre temps were getting too high and the brakes began feeling spongey.

Zero issues with cooling which was to be expected running stock power on such a cold day.



A video of part of my final session below:



Looking at future mods now I think braided brake lines, more aggressive pads/fluid would be next on the list. Potentially a bucket seat and lighter wheels too.

The car sound checked at 88dcb static too.

Great job and build! Love seeing different tracks on the other side of the pond ?

ECU back from Femto and ready for tuning!

Stage 1 98 Ron flash complete! Now for this weather to pick up and stop raining.

Not too much to report as the Supra hasn't had much use over the last 2 months. I removed the tow mounted plate as it was a total pain in the arse to remove when fitting my tow hook for the track day. So back to a central small plate and sticky pads/3m tape. Hopefully it will stay put!

I now have a catless downpipe to fit and I have acquired all the OTS BM3 maps. So I'll be getting that done in the next week or so and flashing the car to "stage 2+ 93".

I got the professional pics back from the track day back in Dec too.

i disagree about the red calipers, however. I think the red calipers go nicely with the yellow. Especially since the taillights and side markers are also red. Looks great. ?

I totally agree with this. A light touch of red on the yellow Supra is perfect.

Damn she looks good ?. I love to see someone in what would be our passenger seat on track ?
