What did you do to your Supra today?

[SupraDC]

New wheels arrived! Waiting for non-freezing temps in NoVa before ceramic coating and getting tires. I think they will look very sharp on a phantom.

Is that what your RACE SHOP told you?

They did in some form or another. I’ve had lots of RACE SHOPS (good and bad) over the years. And I’ve made lots of mistakes. I still enjoy looking ? up and determining what’s legit and what’s not. I‘m happy now to have two good shops & learn more every day. I wish I could do the stuff myself & always appreciate your advice! Maybe in retirement, I can start doing more of these things myself. I’ll start with the non track cars so I’m not littering the track with parts when I do ?

This is an interesting topic and caught my attention.

you know me. I’m just starting to get seat time but all along I’ve done a lot to the car.

I changed my wheels, tires, springs, lowered the car, added front sway bar, and a lot of aero and the car was aligned, 4 corner balanced and dialed on the lowest setting on an after market sway bar. (I trust these people they are a good racing team). The car feels great as is on the track (that’s the set up you drove)… but obviously I’m very far from the limit.

I recently added spacers to that setup 10mm front and 13mm rear.

Looks better, and I take the car out for a 10 mile drive every other week or so. Is not my daily. but since the car was *dialed* without them, I have no issues in taking those out when my next track day arrives.

Bryan is right. You got nothing to worry about amigo. I drove your car and she felt solid, great in fact ?. I didn’t do it correctly, in the beginning, like you did. Thought I’d do light tracking and wouldn’t need the things you would for a more dedicated track car. I learned the hard way ? & ended up getting professional help after the fact.

Now that I have two good shop that does what yours did, I’m fine with spacers. At least they’re small. If I didn’t need any at all - sure that’d be even better. But like Bryan and the RACE SHOP (trigger word for those who can’t do it themselves ?) said, they will be fine.

Back to this thread - What am I doing to my Supra today - I am getting the Verkline front end parts put on this week and hopefully my red (screaming on sale close out) seat put in. I asked that they do the Verkline stuff 1st. If they don’t have time to do both. I miss her already ?

That looks fantastic ? - I’d remove the Z (space) 4 - but that’s me.

LOL at the badging.

Thats alibaba for you. Not much effort went in to annoy the local bimmer bois with it.

Good news is it's just 3M.

Cerakoted the ETS 6870 kit parts. UnitF14 did an amazing job.

 

[BimmerGuy]

OMG. That's just lovely.

As for the topic, what did I do to my Supra today, technically it was Sunday, broke 1000 miles. Now we can start edging up on those RPMs and really get this puppy broken-in! Woo hoo!

I used to hate people cutting up their hood for crooked vents, but I think it's growing on me. It's almost like those slammed trucks with the crooked license plates, except for your hood.

Finished my turbo install today!!!

I love low mount kits. Keeps the engine oem style and feel

Is this a pure 800? What kind of gains did you see.
