What did you do to your Supra today?

[frankenm]

Switched to a planned non-op tag that only cost $20 vs $700/year. Track car only now, have been for a while but made it official with the state and get to save money and not worry about CA smog patrol and these high insurance rates.

~ not sure why one would want to dropped down on the factory sized wheel unless you have a 2.0? auto crossing?

Smaller wheels (rims) does not specifically mean smaller tires.

Take for example a 19 inch wheel with a 305/30 tire and compare that with an 18 inch wheel with a 275/35: the 18 inch wheel on a 275 will end up being bigger than the 19 inch wheel on a 305 by about 1/4 on an inch in diameter.

As people have said, squared 18 inch wheels is the way to go for the track, or if you are planning to have only one set of wheels.

You can check my build log where I touch briefly on that topic.

For me, it mostly came down to wanting more sidewall height - it looks so much better and *might* provide a marginally more forgiving ride. I'd probably even put on 17s haha. Square and easy rotation is just a bonus.

Got my Blitz strut bar from RHDJapan. Installed it right away.

Which CF engine cover is that?

Installed Verus AOS and heat shield.

Just FYI your math is wrong. Your heart is in the right place though.

Let's take a Bridgestone RE71RS as an example.

305/30/19
Diameter: 26.3"

275/35/18
Diameter: 25.6"

The 19" tire is 0.7" larger in diameter and the ride height will be 0.35" higher.

This one:

It shows a Toyota logo on the pictures, but mine came without it.

Hunting.

Is this in Australia? AFAIK, that shade of Orange for the Supra only came out there! The Orange on the Mikan Blast 45th is much darker.

That's Australian Gold my friend and don't you fuckin' forget it. ?

PS: It's actually Silverstone Yellow, aka Nitro Yellow. M2 is Brooklyn Grey.

Put on the yellow on the splitter today.
So now the Supra is getting there! more logos and little bit more black.

Finally! Ordered these late last year -- finally here. CE28N Plus 18x11 +34 (square setup) in Blast Bronze. Wrapping these in Advan Neova AD09's, 295-35 R18.

Yes pics once these are installed! Looking forward to seeing the bronze on the orange.

Painted the strut tower braces yesterday at work. Such a simple change makes the engine bay look so much better ?

Like the fender liner red decals…are they from Shine Graffix?

Haven't reinstalled my coilovers, so major wheel gap, but oh well. Here's a pic.
