What did you do to your Supra today?

~ I find the RT and SE badging interesting?!? Out of curiosity, what does that represent?

Well, the RT is just my first & middle initials, pilfered from a Tacoma box-side decal I had laying around and cut up. I've been initialing everything in my life that way for 30 years now, so thought it was mildly appropriate.

The SE is more cryptic, as not only did Toyota offer an SE grade of MKIV (no unique badging though), but the MKV build list includes SE as the code for the A91 package...plus, I see people removing the GR nameplates and I'm just floating ideas that are a bit different

I have this annoying problem. Tell me what to destroy!

Unfortunately, upon pulling the trim off I didn't find any obvious culprit. I ended up just adding 1/4 inch foam to some of the contact points, taping down a wire and wrapping some of the metal clips with electrical tape to tighten things up. I'll make a thread in the Guides section later today with some pics and post a link to it here, in case what I did will help anyone else.

Fitted wheel spacers this afternoon. Very happy with the slightly changed look.
12mm front, 15mm rear. Just perfect

Next: respray the wheels, just waiting for new paint

Randomly found its doppelgänger.

It's like one of those spot-the-difference games from our childhoods. I've found two so far.

AS1 stripe and wingmirror position?

AS1 stripe and wingmirror position?

I was going to say brake color and folded mirrors but on second look I think they both have red calipers, the ones in the back are just dirty?

AS1 stripe and wingmirror position?

YES!! Great eye

Got some new rears in today. I was having a hell of a time finding these in the exact specs I wanted (18x10 +35 Matte Black) without a 6 month wait from all the US vendors since they would have to order them from Enkei. I ended up stumbling across an ebay store based out of Japan that had a large selection and went to their direct english website (https://www.transporterjapan.com/) and shot them a message and they had them in stock. They normally sell them in sets of 4 but they were more than happy to make a 2 wheel listing for me to purchase. I almost can't believe it was real. I got them for $445 a piece (free shipping) while most US shops were selling them for ~$540 and I possibly would have had to pay tax and shipping. It took about a week for them to ship out as I think they had to get them from their distributor in Japan but then they shipped them on Monday and I received them today. Absolutely insane.

Unfortunately they didn't have fronts available in 18x9 +25 so I shot @Meraki Autoworks a message and they had some available immediately. I decided it was worth it to pay a little more to get them now from a US vendor. I should be getting them by the end of this week and my new RE-71RS tires soon thereafter to wrap them in.

Installed my wheel courtesy of @NitroYellowMKV ! It's so much better than the OEM wheel it's not even funny. I need to clean up my floor mats though,

Lmao! I wanted to so bad, but I was too busy screaming

 

[calmeda1]

what minimal damage did you occur?

Small dent on hood, and multiple very very small chips on both paint on windows. I think the worst is the windshield, it's covered in lots of dots (chips). Florida law allow you one free windshield change per year, so I might just take advantage of that
