What did you do to your Supra today?

[jtsang25]

Installed the seibon mb style lip.
It fits not good at all.
Sigh!

To get the fitment correct there is some trimming that needs to be done on the inside of the bumper and those metal tables need to be bent to secure it. Reach out to seibon and they'll send you installation guide.

I'm always sorry that so many of them seem to suck. I personally know four of them (two main, two back-up), and they're all intelligent, highly skilled technicians that actually like working on MKVs.

Good to know they exist, but Wisconsin is a bit far for ordinary dealership service... so I guess I'm stuck with the idiots for now.

Man once you get that fitment right, that’s the best looking splitter I’ve seen. Do you track? Is this solely for looks or will it provide some extra downforce?

Dang if they just would pay Fuzzy to go around the country for basic quality control, imagine if every dealership had a fraction of his knowledge and follow thru?!? The weakest link would be complete ?

 

[Twundy]

Installed HKS Downpipe. Post clips later.

???

Any CEL on stock tune? Do you have a HKS exhaust also?

Can't wait to hear the sound clips and your first impressions!

I broke something on a different install and haven't driven. But initial 20-30 miles no CEL stock tune. Hks exhaust and intake.

Even though it's not catless it's still pretty loud. Little bit more power. Back fires with the slightest release of the gas in sport mode. Normal is still quiet.

I had this happen with my lip. Pulled it back off, cleaned off the tape, and applied new tape about 1/2in to 3/4in further back. Fit like a glove.

edit: I also used a thinner 3M tape. Maybe the thinner tape was the actual fix...

 

[RyanA90]

I Was gonna get those but got the Ms+ ones instead, I was afraid of quality but I guess they’re the same ones..
Let me know how they hold up please

Track duty they held up fine!

 

[Supra Jr.]

Just out for a ride after unlocking the ecu and installing mhd stage 2 and trans tune!!!

I would not be happy with that fitment. I hope that's not the final fit??????

seibon sent install instructions,
I’m gonna have to remove the bumper.
We’ll see how it ends up .

Took my car to the DMV to get the lowering springs, spacers and exhaust approved.
Springs and exhaust got approved, but spacers not, as the inspector claimed the edge of the rear tires where outside off the wheel arch by 1mm. That's 1/25" for you US guys.

I'm running 13mm at the rear, but guess I'll have to downgrade to 11-12mm to get it approved.

This is how things work in a lot of countries in Europe. And especially here in Norway, rules are strict.
All modifications has to be approved and stamped into the car registration papers for the car to be road legal.

A few things…
1) no one is going to see the spacers, and if they do, they are not going to notice 1mm.
2) it’s being measured by a f’n wooden stick.
3) that is the cleanest garage I’ve ever seen which tells me one thing. It’s run by folks who don’t work, and probably don’t know any thing about shit. Their only purpose is bureaucratic el toro caca.

You should slap an American”don’t tread on me” sticker on your ride and burn out as you leave.

Hilarious ? But if you are going to be on a leash, thats a nice looking one at least. It does look like fantasy television, or Truman Show. Beautiful no doubt. Would love to visit! You know you want to get schmacked with that stick @Mr. Jonathan

1) Spacers failed inspection. That means I'm not allowed to run spacers at all atm. So yes, people (police) are going to notice if they ever stop and inspect my car on the road.. But worst case it will only be a 1000 NOK fine (US$90) for a new obligatory inspection if I'm ever caught.

Every 2nd year we have a mandatory roadworthiness test, where the car is inspected and all modifications has to be approved or it will fail.
In my case, I will just remove the spacers before going in.

2) I tried to argue, but this thight ass inspector would not budge. Would not be suprised if that stick was previously up his ass.

3) Yeah, it's an government owned inspection hall, only used for inspection and nothing else. No heavy work is done here ?

That's just how the rules work here in Norway. One of the most unfriendly countries in the world when it comes to modifying cars.
Basically ALL modifications MUST have TÜV (Teilegutachten) German word for "parts cerfiticate".
Reason for this, is that Norway adapted the rules from EU, even thru we are not a member off the European Union.
Without that certificate, you can just forget about getting modifications approved. Top mount turbos is a big no-no.

Big companies that origins from Germany, like Eibach, KW or H&R usually provides a certificate with their parts, but other companys like HKS or Greddy does not.
That's mean I'm "locked" to only be using parts from companies that can provide a TÜV certificate.
Still, this does not mean people are not modifying their cars here. We just try to don't get caught

Had my second track day on Sunday. Posted a couple pictures in my build thread (link in my signature) and have a video of my best lap of my final (5th) session of the day. Nothing crazy but had fun with it. About 1.6 seconds off my best time of the whole day.
