What did you do to your Supra today?

[Evolution]

After nearly 3 months of my car being at the body shop, I finally got it back. All I have to say is I am not happy at all. Lots and lots of issues.... someone even ran into the back of it and they let it go like that.

Installed some mods and dressed up the engine bay while I was off work for the past couple weeks. Thank god for holiday shutdowns.

• HKS Brace Set
  • The rear brace was a pain to install since I don't have a great tool set (will fix this!). Took way longer than I should've to remove & re-install a couple torx screws since I only had a large wrench. They were in awkward spots.
  • The rear brace seemed to remove all the creaking I'd hear while going up/down driveways. At the very least, I definitely hear it way less.
• Wagner Tuning Intake Manifold
  • Had a shop do this one for me. I've been trying to suck it up and learn how to install mods myself but didn't want to take the risk on my daily driver.
  • Special thanks to @razorlab for all the data he's shared on this manifold. Gave me the confidence to purchase it. I plan on taking the car to the track this year and learning for the first time.
• Some Verus pieces
  • AOS
  • Brake Master Cylinder Brace
  • Cap Set
  • Turbo Heat Shield

Now I'm waiting on a new engine cover that I can chop in half and use to cover up the rats nest.

Oh man, I'm so sorry. Are they at least going to fix it all?

Glad my sharing was of help!

What shop did the install? That is a very clean job. I'm assuming they did the EVAP tuck and rerouting of the ECU wiring harness stuff?

Me and a buddy met up to celebrate our other buddy's mom's b-day lol. After that, i went in for my famous "badges install" with the blacked out everything. Then i got to drive it around and feel what a Pure 800 Supra feels like. ? i feel slow now.

I know this post is pretty old now, any chance you know where your buddy got the red splitters from? I've been working my way as quick as I can through this entire thread and I'm finally almost half way there ?

Unfortunately, this member got his Supra totalled, and hasn't been active for over a month. I do believe that's the Maxton Design one though.

Much appreciated, looks like you are correct

I got it installed at Stryker Performance in Fullerton.

Yep, they did the EVAP tuck but the ECU wiring was disconnected and tucked away too. That's totally on me - I'm still a novice to all this stuff. They called me before the install and told me that I'd have a CEL if they were to fully hide the EVAP (which I requested they look into). I honestly didn't understand what that fully meant since I hadn’t seen the installation process. I thought the CEL was from them having to change out hoses to re-route.

Anyways, I was told that it's just emissions related and not necessary to keep connected. I made the call to go ahead with hiding it since they also noted that they can code it out. They're helping me unlock the DME next month.

(If it's a terrible idea to keep disconnected, please let me know so I can go get it fixed. )

What heat shield did you use with the intake? Is that the one that came with the hks intake? I wanted the verus aos but couldn't fit it.

Yep, that came with the HKS intake. I read on Verus' site that it didn't work with the HKS heat shield so I was worried I'd have to take it off. I'm guessing the heat shield that comes with the closed box version sticks out way further due to the size?

Oh that might be why. Thanks.

I'll let you know on Monday when the owner is back in town.

Looks like the Maxton V.3 Front Splitter

Damn that's nice!

@NitroYellowMKV Why didn't you offer me a soft-stitched airbag pad?!

If I had one of those I wouldn't have been branded by the plastic Toyota sombrero when it slapped my forearm at 200 mph

Similar burns for me. Worked perfectly. I‘ve never had an airbag go off or been in a serious wreck for at least 20 years +. Helped in my decision to instantly go out and buy another one.

That is so awesome! I can’t wait to hear how you like that manifold and how she holds up on track ?
