What did you do to your Supra today?

[razorlab]

Ya'll crazy spending $2500 on an ECU and another $3k to clone and tune.

Yeah came to the realization that it ain't gonna drop NO time soon. Then what happens when supply gets even more limited. I had to spend at the moment so figured get it out the way. Didn't get the car to cheap out ya kno.

I'm good with stock power. If I'm going to tune the car then I may as well go with something more than searching for an OEM ECU. $5k+ for limitations of the stock ECU? Nah. I'm good.
$5k spent elsewhere makes my car SO much faster *for me* then an ECU clone.
*BUT*
I understand some people are about the HP so I get that too.

Pay to go fast. The 4k I spent on unlocking was a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the 100k I've spent so far. Though, if you're not a die-hard car bowling fan, it's very silly.

I've made some mistakes along the way, and had to do a couple things twice. But year, it's approaching 100k.

That's the wall I'm at, i did spend it else where. Lol even went out and brought a 24ft trailer to move the car to texas next month. I have custom tune from Jesse on jb4(still dialing in) with ewg and FSB, exhaust, downpipe, Intake, wheels,tires, meth kit, port injection plate. Holding off on turbo kit and other mods cause of ecu now I have that knocked out, Gonna order that soon and build trans when I get to texas

Between car, trailer, mods and motorcycle going full carbon I'm lil over 100k

That's a little different from me. I'd do coilovers and as many SPL bits as I could to add to my wheel/tire setup and run laps around exotics. But, again, I'm not a HP guy, since it doesn't help me go faster.
Just a "different strokes" thang.

 

[Deighvid]

Not a fan of the Titan 7 center caps so I put the OEM caps in and cleaned the car up.

I literally didn't realize that they fit. Lmao

Dude….. So true! I’m mega impressed with all the mods you can throw on this platform. You’re right @kaj the fastest track rats definitely do the setup thang (SPL parts & track alignment) and this car can hang with the best without any horsepower mods. I was so impressed and only did one weekend in Sebring with her. Then I find out the majority of owners do the horsepower thang and holy shit ? ? this car is a beast ? I had no idea (until I found this forum) that this car can do that too. And do it well!
I was fun running on the back straight of Sebring on my custom JB4 tune and having the Vette guys asking me (holy shit in their voice) what did you do to the car ? I know that’s not what tracking is about, but damn…. it sure was a blast watching them disappear in my rear view mirror.

As long as you get that 100k+ of fun out of the car that's all that matters.

I made an appt to get a quote to fix the decklid where I had the old wing mounted. Lesson learned not to buy cheap as shit.

9 seconds at a time fun. It's sorta fun. It's more about doing the work and hanging out with friends. What else am I gonna be doing lol.

You know, that's one of the good things about this particular platform. You can throw a bunch of power mods on it and run down a drag strip respectfully fast, or you can build it in a different way and it hangs on a road course with the best of them.
Neither of those options costs and obscene amount of money. That is pretty rare.

So, you autocross? (Inside joke)
