Took the boat out on the lake. Skinny dipped with some catfish and a turtle.
No Supra content just posting random shit here.
on topic: Starting conversation with folks about that Omega 65. Gearing up for possible turbo upgrade. Also removed sticker on side window to get ready for a new sticker once it's printed. For my daughter. She and I watch Demon Slayer together. So here she is as a demon slayer.

How long until the sticker mod takes place? 13 days I surmise.Took the boat out on the lake. Skinny dipped with some catfish and a turtle.

I finally ticked a bunch of stuff off the to-do list and got the car all cleaned and tucked in before the dumb snow started falling. Hopefully it'll only be a few days. Now I'm all caught up on what I wanted to get done before my engine expired. The car is finally set up as I wanted it to be a couple of years ago. I was looking for much more tactile feedback, a more compromised ride and less of a soft GT car, which the Öhlins suspension and custom center-exit exhaust did for me.
The latest updates include an MST intake, Verus motor mounts, a custom steering wheel, and a set of Recaro Pole Positions to replace the stock seats before they cripple me. All stuff done looking for more feedback. Some impressions below...
Verus motor mounts - I went with the firmest durometer inserts and holy crap, the car now feels much more mechanical and fizzy. It obviously vibrates and shakes so much more; you can feel everything through your feet and the transmission tunnel. It is exactly what I wanted, and driving a gear higher negates much of the fizzy when the girlfriend is annoyed or whatever. There is also much more mechanical noise in the cabin, which I love.
MST intake - I was hoping to hear some loud wooshies but it's hard to discern between the exhaust and cabin noise. Still cool, even if I wish it was much louder.
Steering wheel - The stock wheel looks like it belongs on a car that costs $10,000 and it feels so cheap. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I went G-Series with a full carbon front, all the Alcantara, round with no dumb bumps like a proper steering wheel, and the carbon magnetic clickers that are basically the same as what I use on my SIM rig. I love it, even if it's going to look dirty forever.
Pole Position seats - My back is wrecked from being a cyclist for twenty-five years and would ache after only a couple hours of driving, not ideal when I love nothing more than monster road trips. The stock seats were waaaay too soft and unsupportive for me, no matter what setting I used, but the Recaros are so much better; 700km the day after I put them in and zero back issues. They're tipped up much more than in the photo.

Did some maintenance this weekend ?
Replaced the air filter, the engine air filter and the spark plugs.
Switched from Original BMW which are from Champion to NGKs pre bended.
Feels good so far, engine runs a bit smoother but the other ones are 25k miles old ?
Changed the oil and the oil filter.
So everything is fresh now ?
But this weekend I will install the new additional Display, really hyped up. ?

Lowered on MSS Springs + SPL LCA. Got it on Black Friday, and finally had the chance to install it.
The front perch has been one of the easiest to height adjust, but the rears are not. I had to remove the inside camber bolt to release some compression in order to get the perch rotating. If anyone have a better approach let me know. Its seating a bit to lower than I would like.

Big turbo Genesis 3.8 owner checking in. Never selling this car. It's what I drive when my Supra is down for mods, since I do my own wrenching. And since this is a Supra thread, the most refent thing I did was take it to a meet, so I got 'er cleaned up on a crisp Texas day.

I know what I haven't done today. I haven't updated my MHD. Why? Because there is no freaking update. Just like there's no freak in fries.

I went to 7 stealerships before I finallly found mine.
Literally argued back and fourth with the sales rep till the main manager came out and was "Hey you want his car?" Guy was super nice. Just be patient.

Since I was able to test drive one my urgency is gone. I just wanted to ensure I really liked the way the car drove before I kept stalking sites for em ?
I don't know if dealerships read the new reports about Supras selling less or what, but they've been calling nonstop trying to negotiate a price. What a wonderful position to be in haha
