What did you do to your Supra today?

[SupraDC]

if you are a bit handy and familiar with a rattlecan and a polisher it's an easy job to fix this yourself, I did it on my car and it turned out OK. there is a thread here somewhere where this was discussed and where I posted my "ste by step"
basically you fill the holes, sand down, mask around, spray paint and then sand down and polish to blend it in
then again if you're happy with the plugs it would be a waist of time, after all it's your car

Two points on this ....

1) Of course I would never have let the dealer drill holes. I purchased this used. So it had holes from the Toyota dealer (original owner) and additional holes (Carmax). That led to this being larger than normal.

2) Phantom paint. My understanding is that the entire piece would need to be repainted. I just got mine back from them repainting the entire trunk for two places where the paint had cracked. Dealer agreed it was a warranty issue. That's where I got the estimate and it snawballed from there.

The car is my daily driver, more or less. If it was a show car and I'm constantly getting questions and grief, I might move faster, but for now, it'll work for me. Thank you everyone for their input! This is all still very new to me (8/21).

Part number and price? Might be a better option than going aftermarket.

They are by no means cheap, but to me it was worth it as they are an OEM BMW part.

I feel you on this. Do your thing man.

Part number 61-31-9-501-592. Definitely not cheap, but as STV3 said, imo worth it

Sorry for the low quality pics -- got the TS-5s finally installed on the 265 & 295 PS4Ss. Got some nice M valve caps as well. Gonna take it out for a quick drive later to get the TPMS recalibrated, and hopefully I can grab some better pictures then.

My butt dyno feels like the car is slightly snappier off the line.

Finished up the interior and well My first Supra has something that my Newer Supra doesn't have in the middle of it, but damn this conversion costed me 20k..... I'm sure it'll totally be worth it once we go out and give her a spin after some final preperations..Everything in this interior has been replaced with new parts... I just wish I had done this 10 years ago not, better late then never.

• New Stage 3 Carbon Syncro V160 capable of 1000+ HP (But don't want to push it beyond that due to it's cost)
• New Cutch Master FX 1000 Flywheel and Clutch Twin Disk
• New TRD Diffrential
• 6Speed Diffrential Pumpkin
• All of the Seals tubes and interior parts pedals and other random toyota parts to complete the Conversion

For those who think it's easy to switch an automatic to manual it isn't, and it isn't cheap. I mean sure you could be cheap and get a make-shift tranny but if you go with the Pride and Glory V160! it'll cost you...

Personally I like it, big turbo noises with a much different tone compared to aluminum or stainless steel intake pipes. Does it make more power? Probably not, but until I replace the charge pipe its all moot anyway but holy crap it looks good. One of the best two intakes for the Supra (GruppeM being number 2) IMO.

thats awesome. Do you plan on getting the cover at a later time?

bit bullet and ordered a couple professional pics. Had not done that before

woah holy shit.

Glad I wasn't the only one, dear god when I saw that price I did a double take and then started laughing, that's like custom steering wheel prices. If it was in the $300~ range that would be a lot more tolerable since Autotecknic sells the billet aluminum ones for $250~.

Agreed and I definitely did not pay that much for them. I got lucky and found a set for around that price

Slapped that voltex on and ceramic coated it

Already got it and installed. I bought the full intake kit, not just the suction section.
