What did you do to your Supra today?

[wombo]

Put some 15mm spacers on the back of my car and love how it fills out the rear. Was resistant to getting them for the longest time cause I thought they wouldn’t do much, but now I’m looking for a pair of 13mms in the front (future classics are sold out on the website though ugh). First and second pics are after spacers, third was before. 295/35r19 contis in the rear, stock SS in the front.

@Deighvid Sorry to see the side diffuser scratch! Road rash is manly, however.

How do you replace that hood latch handle? Consider I pull that thing often I'd like to replace mine too.. TIA!

I was curious as well, so I dug it up. The install instructions are on the product page... it actually looks incredibly easy! @Deighvid probably just sold a few of these things. Haha

Took the Supra out to it’s first track day at Streets of Willow. Surprised how well continental dws all seasons performed. I got a not too aggressive alignment done. The only suspension mods I have done are coilovers. My best time was 1:31!

1:31 isn't too bad, IMO. Glad you had fun! I love that course and have a debt to settle with it. ?

Thanks dude, I'm annoyed but I'll either replace it or upgrade. Oem ones are pretty cheap actually.

The latch is so easy, I was surprised. You basically pull it all the way up, and there's a little plastic pin/tab that you pull out which locks it in place. Pops right off then you put the new one on and slide in the new pin they supply. Pretty cool.

Haha yeah! I was bugging them for a while asking every week if the Supra one was out yet and then bought it as soon as it went live ?

It gets expensive, if you are competitive like me.
I need to get my other car out there, before it sells. I haven't gotten in a solid hot lap yet...I need to redeem myself ?
I can't do weekdays, otherwise it would be fun to see some familiar peeps.

Ended the day with a 1:27. I definitely had more in me, but couldn't get the lines and braking right until the end of the day. Good practice though and I'm satisfied haha

You just should come in Dec for TRD series if anything! We'll all be out there. I was with a group of like 14 people lol. CC: @kaj

That is a possibility. If it's a Toyota thing, I'd have to bring the Supra. I'm okay with that.

Yea for my first time, I'm happy with it. I've already started some research for what I need to improve. I know for sure tires are needed. The first official lap after the leaders left the track during the lead/follow for beginner, it was scary on the back straight to the shicane. I've seen a video of a guy clipping the left part of the shicane and his suspension was ruined. Thankfully it didnt happen to me!

That part is sketch of you don't go in just right. It can make it break your lap. SO fun to get it right, though.

Excitement is setting in now for the track with all these track posts about streets of willow. I have a bunch of events coming up heading to buttonwillow this weekend, streets of willow later this month

Picked up a ford diesel super duty to tow car around, the hole i am in just keeps getting deeper ...

Did pre-track tech on car and installed window/center nets and drove around a bit to get a feel for it before going on track it is super cozy now in the cockpit ... got tailed by 2 cops for a bit on the 5 was 100% expecting some bullshit but they left me alone ...

Holy crap you have a full-on race car. That's awesome. I miss those days, slightly.
