What did you do to your Supra today?

[JRedMKV]

HKS Full Carbon intake & HKS SSQV kit installed over the weekend. Nostalgic pshh pshh sounds LOL

Can you give us more info on this kit please? I know they sell 3 different kits but they don’t give much info. I know one is meant for stock airboxes, one for venting to atmosphere, and the other one for their HKS boxes. Do you think after installing yours that this kit could work with other aftermarket intakes like my Eventuri?? How does it connect back to the intake? Also any issues with check engine lights or anything?

Thanks!

Bought wheels and tires from a member here and they are making me very happy ?

Impact wrench did the trick. Finished installing the wheel and paddles.

What size is the socket for the steering wheel bolt, if you don’t mind. Thanks

@jerseycarguy - I think I used the 16mm attachment on the impact wrench. Gotta get a full turn or two with the impact wrench and you can then use a socket wrench to get the rest of the bolt out. Just reapply some blue loctite when putting the wheel back on and torque to 45lbs.

It could be the exhaust barely contacting the brace underneath the car. When the AWE catback was put on my car an adjustment was needed because of that contact and ever since the rattle has been gone

I'm still stock exhaust. It craY I would have to get out next time it happens it stopped haven't heard it in a bit

We had our carbon shop make us a cooling plate just to add a little extra spice in the engine bay and to match the AMS matte carbon throughout the engine bay

Finished my first production level 3D printed part, a proper science Venturi cone (velocity stack) for my turbo

also started on a test print for the door handle cases for the door pulls since Toyota blacklisted me from buying them all ??

Got the APR wing in today. Install coming soon.
It's a bit wider and of much higher quality than the Street Hunter wing.

I don't know how to really describe how much higher the quality is other than when you tap the APR wing it doesn't sound hollow like the other one...it's also just has the look...that quality part look.

Hi, Where did you buy the steering wheels from?

looks so great.

Thank you in advance

@mikecruzer Got mine thru a90shop, but plenty of other vendors offer as well. Buy from a vendor you trust - know some guys on here don’t like A90shop.

Watch the YT videos by East Coast Supra or FT Speed for directions to install. Pretty straightforward.

Also, just one tip: keep your trunk open when the battery is unplugged…. I closed it shut after I disconnected the negative terminal so I had to become a contortionist to reach back there from the front seats to reconnect. If you’re too fat to reach back there (no offense to the big guys gals on here) there are jumper points in the engine bay (or so I’m told) to power up and reopen the trunk.

I hear that @NitroYellowMKV guy has some killer steering wheels.

Hi all, I haven’t posted for a while but I’ve definitely been busy with the Supra. This week I added the Extreme Online Store carbon front lip and side skirts along with the Rexpeed rear spats. I also FINALLY got my Suvneer rear wing back from the body shop after having LOTS of work done to it to make it perfect. I don’t recommend this Streethunter knock off wing unless you’re prepared to have a body shop do a ton of work on it, but I’m picky and the body shop did an amazing job. I also added some cool American flag graphics and tinted the taillights so they contrast with the red paint. Last thing was I changed up the Blitz strut braces to these BMS braces because they match my other anodized parts better and I got sick of the cross brace making it hard to reach down into the engine area.

Are there any differences between this lip and side extensions vs. the rexpeed ones? These are basically half the price

I can’t really speak to the Rexpeed ones but I imagine they are better quality, hopefully, for the extra price. That being said, I WAS pleasantly surprised that these ones I bought looked like they were pretty high quality initially. The fit was perfect, the Carbon looked awesome, etc. However, this past summer I did begin to notice some areas that looked like some slight haziness was beginning to form under the clear coat. You need to be at just the right light and angle to see it but it’s there. That’s really my only complaint about it so let’s see if it gets worse over time. Also, at the time, this company did not have the rear spats so I bought the Rexpeed ones. They do have them now.

Thanks. I appreciate the response. Looks great
