What did you do to your Supra today?

[s0_Salty-]

Cool, mine are new in box as well so that should help. I assume the 2 microfiber towels was to buff the ceramic ?

Yes sir that is correct.

Take this as a warning for those who have been putting off PPF, get it done before any real serious driving...

Sigh.

I was quoted $2,100 for all the high impact areas. Decided that I’d lose less than on depreciation with whatever road rash I get.

PPF can get beat up, too, so you still see some road rash in the meantime even if you’re sparing the car’s paint for later.

Not knocking those who get it, but just saying that it’s not always an expense that one recoups. I acknowledge enjoyment of a pristine paint job is worth it for some.

Took some pics with the welds on. They just look good on the A90/91. Reminds me of when I drew side profiles of sports cars as a kid.

Admittedly, I haven’t owned a color that really shows chips like black.

This was also a used purchase for me that would have required some touch up even before applying PPF (and I know it’s not a long term car). If I were to buy something higher end and new (and/or a longer term car), it would be much higher on my priority list, for sure.

I took off my manifold to see how bad the damage was..... The metal doesn't stop

[s0_Salty-]

Dropped off the supra in one of the local shop to get stuff installed can't wait till tommorow.

It went boom.

Got the car rinsed off and actually washed after yesterday's shenanigans in the mountains. There's more damage than I thought, 6 rock chips in the bumper that went through the paint and is exposing plastic, with a few more chipping paint. Windshield was absolutely peppered and worse than I expected, no actual chips but plenty of cratering.

Lmao @mokleen hahahhahaha

I finally broke down and swapped out the stock tires. Fallen Azenis RT660 in 265/35/19 and 295/35/19, stock wheels, HKS Hipermax adjustable springs. I was running FC 12/15mm spacers on the stock tires, but that was too much on the rear with the 295s so I had to pull them off. I’m still running the 12mm in the front, the tires poke out just a bit, and with no spacers in the rear the tires tuck just a bit. I’ve ordered a set of FC 5mm spacers for the rear which I think will make it perfect. I may also swap the 12mm in the front to 5mm to pull them back in a tad, not sure yet.

No rubbing to speak of so far, everything feels good.

Damn, we literally have the same exterior mod for mod just different colors.

My nephew came down in his 86 and we got my car out on the road for the first time since November of last year. He was also excited to get pictures of the cars together.

Well duh, but like, how? Did he suck up a water puddle? Did he go moon boost and kaboom? Was he running open intake, no filter, and a bird flew through a potentially open headlight meant for air intake? Was it a stock setup, lightly modified, highly modified, extremely modified, etc etc? Deets are important sometimes bruh!

I'd say.. somewhere between lightly and highly modified.. 'Medium modified.' His setup is (was) stock bottom end, pure 850, port/reflex, EOS manifold, axles, and Pure transmission. Fuel at the time was E98, unclear as to exactly what happened other than a rod went to the moon on a log pull. Blew apart at ~33/34psi, which is well within whats "safe." For the bottom end.

Damn, super sucky. Hopefully he gets it situated as fast as possible
