What did you do to your Supra today?

[DermDoc]

Very clean.

I got the same vinyl supra sticker for the headrests. Did you just measure and line it up? Or used with heatgun etc

Thank you - for the vinyl application, I just eyed it up with the help of someone else standing a bit further back to give me their input and used my fingers to make rough measurements on both sides loll. The p in supra also lines up closely with the middle seam of the seat which was helpful. It actually looks pretty spot on. I used a blow dryer - had significant challenges getting the first decal to stick and peel off correctly. I realized during the second application that once you stick the vinyl in place and get it real hot, quickly (but carefully) pull off the clear transparent adhesive. If you delay it cools down quickly making it a huge pain. I'm sure a heat gun would have made this much much easier...

Productive night. Took it off roading in my tax guys parking lot, then washed it. Keeping it parked until we leave to Vegas on Friday morning. Also finally manged to turn over 10k miles!

Did pretty much the same thing. Had an off and went plowing with the diffuser. Decided to wash the car for the first time in a good month or so. Also hit 10k this past week!

How's the balance with that wing and no splitter? Understeer much?

Did you order at your local Toyota Dealership?

I could not source the Toyota version in the UK, so went with the Blitz strut brace which looks to be identical to the factory part. I am glad I did as this one is really nicely made and is also a fraction of the cost!

I covered the Blitz logo with one of these emblems because I wanted to make it look factory. I’m sure you can find loads of US sellers on ebay with the same item:

(The pics of this on ebay make it look bloody awful when it’s actually really nice)

Yep, plenty of understeer, as expected. Next track days aren’t until the fall so working on something for the front to be on around early September. Weighing the options for producing the most front end down force within street mod rule sets.

Tracking, spirited driving, whatever. The stock manifold heat soaks so fast it’s not even funny. A single 3rd-4th gear pull is enough to push the IATs nearly 50F above ambient with the stock manifold on my car (stock turbo, E50). That equates to an ~8% power loss all things being equal, that’s ~40 whp lost on a 500 whp car after less than 10 seconds at WOT. Forget losing power after a few laps, the stock manifold is robbing power before the first corner. On a stock car on 93 octane it won’t be as bad as mine since E50 allows the boost pressure to be turned up to the point that the stock turbo turns into a hair dryer above 5500 RPM, but it’s still significant.

I just went out and took some baseline logs on my car as a reference. Once I install the EOS I’ll post the results.

I definitely have my fastest track times when it’s cooler in the morning and can feel her loosing steam as the day goes on. Thanks for the info! This will definitely be on my “to do” list. However, even without the EOS manifold, a friend was flying in his stock 2020 Supra. Ran 2:26.88 yesterday during the hottest times of the day (likely 100 degrees on track) at Sebring. Wonder if he has less of this issue being in a 2020? My times went from a morning best of 2:28.06 to 2:28.41 in the afternoon. I was putting down some pretty consistent laps and really think the EOS manifold will make a difference.

Heatsoak and stuff is just as bad with 2020 intake manifold, it's the same IM. His car stock?

Coming soon; I am still working out a few small things to possibly get fixed.
Also I must state I am not working for the company who is making it; just testing it out. Also everyone please don’t start messaging every remote start company; I’m not trying to ruin the relationship and they will tell you they don’t make it anyways. Don’t worry I’ll post a real post once it’s more of a production unit.

I was thinking that same thing!! ??

Are you wearing tights my guy?

Very cool.
I checked all the vendors I know that do 3 x lock remote start add ons and nothing. Lol.
Be interested if this becomes a real unit. Hope so.

It’s getting hot in here,
So take off all your clothes

I’ve thought about this! Does it smell like exhaust inside the car?
