What did you do to your Supra today?

[nosavingthrow]

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,

what minimal damage did you occur?

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

definitely pdr aswell

Agreed! Should be an easy fix.

I'm mainly glad that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was stuck and parked at the highway while getting pelted for 15 minutes straight. Nobody could move, and I was freaking out. Once the hail stopped, I kept driving for 20 more minutes home thinking how bad the car must be, but gladly it's all good
