What did you do to your Supra today?

[Deighvid]

Made my INGS fender vents functional (last week)

Also added CSG CP pads but there's no interesting photo for that

Did you have the downpipe ceramic coated or is it just black wrap?

Ceramic coated.

That looks a whole lot like Summit Shenandoah if I’m not mistaken.
If I am, ignore this, if not, how’s the Supra on a tighter course like that?

I know my genesis could get a little hop on the bridge straight, and the carousel was always fun.

you are spot on.

Supra- for me- has been great on tight technical tracks like Shenny and big power ones like Main next door.
Can def catch air there at bridge

Only my second time at Shenny. was in scca TT event. Brought times down pretty rapidly. went a 138.1 Car as it is set up has 136/135 in her. Meat in seat needs more time there.

I was at main there in June for the NASA event and I can agree that it was great there. Trusting the car to make it through turn 4 at crazy speeds followed by rocketing through 10 and riding the pavement all the way to, and sometimes past the kerbing was a great time.

I wish I could continue to afford to track it, and give it a run on Shenandoah but that’s what I bought and modded a Miata for. Which is right at home on Shenandoah.

Washed the car up and drove it over to a buddies house to help him start tearing apart his Miata. He is turning it into a track car so we gutted the entire interior, minus the dash, and installed a set of Fortune Auto Coils. I snapped some pics of the car in his driveway before starting on the Miata. I never get tired of looking at this car.

Today I got an upgrade from nature on this beautiful 50deg morning. This is the time of year when my car goes from 400hp to about 1000hp!

Beautiful wheels ? ?

I will introduce the supra River. Insane rain here in SoCal. Garage is flooded and every single door leading outside is pouring water in. There is a good 3" of water surrounding most of my house right now. Would be a good insurance claim except I have bare cement floors right now...

As someone with no homeowners experience .. how can you even protect your house against flooding or flood damage? Just have good insurance and hope it never happens to you?

Not a lot. Your best defense is to pay attention to where the home sits when you purchase it.

Yep. Never buy in a floodplain and never buy a house where the surrounding yard/land/area slopes towards the house.

My issue is that the previous owner had cement put in all around the house and they didnt dig deep enough before laying it down. So I only have an inch height difference between the walkway and side door opening. On top of that, all the water can only drain out that one path from the backyard. Granted we dont get much rain here so its really not a huge ordeal, until it is.

Flood insurance always a good thing to have. It's never happened to me personally (needing to use the flood insurance), but I've seen plenty of flooded streets after a hurricane or two...

(wife talking to reporter, staying at our in-laws house, lol) Of course the media came out and made it sound way worse that it was. I went to work the next day. And power outages suck. But usually goes back on pretty quickly depending on where you live.

Glad it didn't go any higher. Flood insurance should be really cheap in your area. In case it ever gets high enough to come in the house. And hopefully it drains quickly.
