Man those other vehicles look so plain next to you!
I agree! Earlier when I was walking back to my room, one of the valet guys asked me a question about the car. It’s a vette parked in the front of the pack. As I was walking back in, another valet yelled, “I’d pick the Supra over that any day of the week!” Made me a proud owner. Lol

That and it struck me how much the rear end of that Lexus looks like our Highlander. I know they're the same company but... I... Um... Thought.. THERE COULD BE ONLY ONE!!!!

For me, the breather hose was a massive pain in the ass to remove, and I also broke off a screw head as well, thinking I had to use those. Finally, the lid took some work to get lined up. I was tired since I started on the install late, and it was fairly easy once I got it on the next morning with some rest and a fresh mind.
Sorry to dig this up, but I literally just did the same exact thing to my MST Intake thinking I had to reuse the same screws to reinstall the MAF lol. Guess they really should’ve made that clearer when writing the instructions.

How did you manage to get the screw out without the head? Mine is basically flush and I can’t grab it with pliers or anything. Do you think one screw is enough to keep the sensor secure?

I left it as is for a week with no issues, but got a screw extractor from a friend to remove it. I didn't want to take any chances during a track day.

Do you know what size screw extractor you used? Also, when you ran it as is for a week, is that with just one of the screws essentially? I’m concerned not having the other corner flush and snug could cause issues.

Right now I just wrapped it with electrical tape to try and keep it from lifting up but wasn’t sure if it would cause issues long term. I tried the whole drilling thing too but that only made the problem worse.

Here’s what it looks like now:

I responded to your other thread, but even the tape isn't necessary. It'll read the temperature just fine. It's just a temperature sensor. It's the intake side, obviously not pressurized, as there's a giant ass filter on the other side.

Got some stuff done yesterday! Fuel-It flex-fuel kit for the incoming E35 map on the JB4, there's now LiquiMoly 5w-30 in the engine (finally dumped the factory 0w-20), SPL rear traction links, and this beautiful piece of kit:

These are the OEM BMW M3/4 shift paddles. I had some long ass aluminum paddles on there and the fit and parts were atrocious. Not only did the paddles themselves seem to flex, but the fit within the wheel itself resulted in them being very loose. These not only feel better than the OEM Supra paddles, but the fit feels just as good if not better as well. As they should for what they cost. I'm glad I saved the screw that fit with the paddles that shipped on the car!
