What did you do to your Supra today?

Speaking of locking the car in the garage... is battery drain from NOT locking the car an urban myth or real thing? It sounded like a real issue based on posts from year+ ago. Something about the electronics not fully entering standby if not locked.

Toyota recommends locking the car to protect the battery. This is from the welcome brochure they mail to new owners.

What is Battery Guard?

Yesterday I took delivery of my Jarama Racetrack Edition. It's basically the European A91 and limited to only 90 cars in Europe! The license plate holder will obviously be changed So happy with this car and the color is amazing!

What is Battery Guard?

The only thing that shows up is it is something on the toyota connect app. I think they are talking about the function in the settings of the app. There is an option to select standard or lower battery usage.

I’ve never locked mine in the garage and never had a battery issue. May just be lucky.

Same, and while locked down, there were times where my car went several days at a time without moving.

~ Yeah… I just leave the key on my seat when the car’s in my garage. No issues.

I finally got it looking just the way I wanted 4 weeks into

Any pics from the rear? The paint matched spoiler looks great!

The rear has a tiny poke barely noticeable.

I actually really like ESR wheels. I had them on my 370z, for a few years, and they always looked new. I think I'm going to get a set for my Supra. Also, you should check out the ZL1 rock guards. they're subtle, cheap, and will help prevent chips because your wheels are a little wider now. There should be a forum about them on here. I bought them, and they were easy to install.

I did something that some people might find unforgiveable. I removed the thermal oxidation from my Remark titanium tips.

I left some darkening on the very end. I kind of like the way it looks.

Has anyone had any issues with the airbag when after doing a steering wheel installation after. I'm thinking about doing it myself. I have watched a few videos already, but I just wanted to know if anyone had any issues after plugging everything back up.

The hardest part is taking the airbag off. Everything else is very easy if you just take your time and be careful. I’ve had my East Coast Supra wheel for about 6 months and I’ve had zero problems.

Great decision! What did you use to remove it?

How did you manage to remove oxidation?

I used an applicator pad and some Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. It takes a good bit of work, but it comes off. I'm sure there are better ways to it.

I tried my buffer, but the corners of tips were destroying my pads. I'm sure there some different pads you could use with a buffer that won't get destroyed.


Here's a before and after of them installed:
