What did you do to your Supra today?

[obito]

I wish I had your level of self control so I could have that "new car" feel a year or two down the road. I tell myself I'll wait for certain things, but really I feel like I just rush to get it just how I'd like it. That said I get a lot of enjoyment just working on the car and knowing how I customized certain things to my liking, if it was just about how the car drives I'd probably be able to wait.

Lowering the car, tweaking with stuff, hardwiring equipment, adding cosmetics having the full ceramic done etc was all fun. 6 months of that ownership was mostly just me going through stuff like a big move/changing jobs. I probably would’ve done it sooner otherwise. There’s nothing negative with doing it like that of course. It never felt like waiting because I would drive it like I stole it often and made a ton of memories with people. If this was a weekend only car or something I kept hidden away, I’d probably do everything much quicker. I’m also just younger and never learned to control a RWD car like this so I just chilled out.

I also think there’s something about hanging around our own crowd, people with fast and good sounding cars give us the bug too. I got it in San Diego.

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.

nice, same wheels I use but in 18x10.5. Enjoy!

Same issue, or did it fully crack?

fully cracked

Picked it up from ceramic coating where it got 2 coats of Carpro finest reserve. Unfortunately the weather wasnt too good this day but I still snapped a new pic.

That rear with the fog light is just tooo sexy ?

This picture would make a sick computer background. Gloomy weather added to the effect, so it's like a happy accident.

Yeah the foggy weather made it so moody.

A picture in the rain with a lack of badges.

Are there holes under the Supra emblem?

It's crazy what even map 1 on JB4 does in terms of "responsiveness" to the car compared to stock. Just installed my last weekend and have been very pleased with the difference. Everything just feels a lot smoother. Can't wait to experience what a custom JB4 map on the car.

I sold my JB4 because I couldn't tell any difference in any of the maps. I even kinda sorta tried a custom map. Maybe I just had too high of expectations.

I'm surprised. I am trying out a JB+ and it's a very noticeable difference.

In process of my e50 tune from payn. Runs good ?️ ?

Finished up install and tuning today

Nope! Supra and GR badges are just adhesive. The Toyota does have holes in the front.

Can you elaborate?

JB4 def had more power than stock it was noticeable but nothing that wowed me the power delivery was also pretty choppy i didn’t love it.

Now that my car is on MHD the jump in power and torque is extremely noticeable even over JB4. On 93 oct stage 2 OTS the car drives really smooth and packs a punch i think 450WHP is the sweet spot for this car. I also have a custom E50 tune which took some time to dial in properly but the car is a rocket on the street and i personally don’t want anymore power at this point. With ethanol I’m at the functional limit of stock turbo and tran now and I’m not going any further personally but a real tune is the way to go JB4 just doesn’t cut it to me.

That's exactly what I heard from another local 2020 supra owner. MHD>JB4 for a more smoother power delivery and happier car overall.
How much more gain do you suspect from E50 over 93 Stage 2 OTS?

On 93 the car makes ballpark 440WHP and 540 WTQ. On E50 the car is at about 510WHP and 580WTQ. The car is significantly faster on ethanol biggest difference is noticeable on the top end it pulls alot harder. Only mods are catless downpipe and armaspeed intake. 600WTQ is limit for stock trans before it starts to slip so E50 is best for those who don’t plan on upgrading trans no need to upgrade turbo IMO if you aren’t going to upgrade the trans.
