What did you do to your Supra today?

Most folks with the manifold have the half cover.

Yea, I've seen the half cover before on cars with the manifold, but it often looks a bit janky (read: looks like you just cut half of it off) and I am surprised how much more professional it looks with the trim on the edge.

I did a thing.

After waiting for 3 weeks from ProClip to send the mount out, I finally have a freaking phone holder. It's a mismatch of 3 different items but it's rock solid and looks great to boot. I'm surprised but I actually dig the exposed screwhead look on the mount as well. I also took the time to mirror @Bassoonytoon 's post on using OBDLink to create a dashboard.

Had to make a small modification on the ProClip by drilling out the original holes just a tad bigger so I could use the included screws from the adapter plate, I believe it was either a 5/32 or 7/32. I stole the actual magnetic mount from an old WixGear mount I had laying around, simply unscrewed the knuckle and popped it off and it was a perfect fit on the adapter plate.

Edit - Still trying to make this OBDLink thing work, I really doubt that my IAT was 135F when I snapped this photo.

Washed the Supra and grabbed some glamor shots

Are you on lowering springs?

That's high, but it's not insane. These cars heat soak like a bitch.

Gave it a polish. The number of different colours in the metallic is crazy!

Wonderful. I'm guessing the oil cooler is also a little lacking? I've smelled "hot" multiple times when sitting in traffic, which is always fun.

Took it out to celebrate that I can drive it again after several weeks. Couple small things and this build is complete for now.

Nice. What was the turn around time?

About 24 days, but that was including TX2K22.

My other car regularly gets to an IAT of 140F if it’s hot out, the car is up to temp, and I’m sitting still. In FL FWIW. IATs while driving are more important (X degrees above ambient).

Finally got to put the summers back on, with 305 R888R's now.

Might put in the lowering springs this spring after holding onto them for 8 months

Heat soak is an issue. If you are concerned with IATs and don't have a Verus turbo heat shield, by all means get one. It makes a world of difference.

Downloaded some photos of this last weekends go-fast event...

While I’m not a fan of the 2 tones, the wheels look incredible. I like the way the spoke colour is tied in too ??

Added a diffuser and a CF steering wheel . Then an alignment to top it off

I have one sitting in my garage actually, just waiting for my MST intake to arrive so I can have everything done at once.

Love the stance and actually really dig the paint matched lip on the hatch. Wheels are dope as well!
