Wishing I followed the fam up in the Supra to the mountains
We did rent a really nice Mazda CX-90 to take us to all the hiking trails. Someday we’ll get the Supra up here like you other mountain peeps ?

Swapped out the catless DP and stock exhaust for a Gesi DP and AWE resonated touring. Got tired of the smell but wanted to retain some exhaust volume.
Now I have to decide if I want to do hybrid turbo, fueling, manifold etc now since it’s going to need a retune anyway or just retune as-is…it sure is a big jump in $ for all the supporting mods beyond the e50/DP power level.

Oof you are permentantly nitro branded! nice! And yes always good to see my products work as intended. Airbag covers are not something you want to mess around with... important it is done right.Damn that's nice!
@NitroYellowMKV Why didn't you offer me a soft-stitched airbag pad?!
If I had one of those I wouldn't have been branded by the plastic Toyota sombrero when it slapped my forearm at 200 mph

Agreed 100%, and it's ironic that I was one of the loudest voices swearing up and down about the critical importance of also having an authentic OEM (TRW) steering wheel core for safety in an accident...and then I unwittingly became a beta tester for that exact notion. Lest we forget, the impact was strong enough to bend a frame-rail. I'm sooo glad I had the real thing, and after a close analysis it's completely fine to use again in my next MKV!

I'm planning to lift the supra the same way you have hereSwapped out the catless DP and stock exhaust for a Gesi DP and AWE resonated touring. Got tired of the smell but wanted to retain some exhaust volume.

Can you share how it was done and anything you watch for safety?

Last week, I adjusted my friend's front bumper gap because his neighbor's pickup truck backed into his car. He had the front bumper resprayed.
Went to a Nissan showcase night meet on 12/29 and took some photos
12/31 New Years Eve, woke up at 5am and met up with one of my supra buddies for a drive up to Bella's bake shop in Mt Kisco for a cars and coffee event and then drove up to Hayfields Cafe in North Salem. Here's a couple of photos I took from both location
Below are from Hayfields Cafe

Ran it up as usual on the race ramps with extensions (needed due to lip & lowering). Jacked up driver front at jack pad, placing base block under one rear tire, then did the same for passenger. I did need to use my off road jack to then raise high enough to place the second race ramp block. Car is on level ground and the rear top blocks do snug around the shape of the wheel so it shouldn’t be going anywhere. Parking brake engaged as well. In case of some catastrophic failure of the race ramps/blocks, I have jack stands beneath all four jack points with the little puck adapters, or whatever they’re called. Could also chock the front wheels.

After nearly 3 months of my car being at the body shop, I finally got it back. All I have to say is I am not happy at all. Lots and lots of issues.... someone even ran into the back of it and they let it go like that.
