What did you do to your Supra today?

[Vertex]

Put her away for the winter. ?

Wow that looks like an awesome garage/house. Just a heads up, it sounds like we will be heading back to ABCC next summer for the September days again probably on the same weekend as last year so if you want to go definitely try to plan on signing up earlier this year and if I remember I will DM you as well.

Not my house or car collection. Storing it with a buddy, who is very much a porschephile.

Are you talking about the NASA weekend at Autobahn? I'll definitely plan to sign up early for it next year.

Yes that is what I'm referring too. As soon as we sign up I'll DM you and let you know

Beautiful car and build ?
Now spend the extra $50 Bryan mentioned and get Verkline ?

The final purchase was front and rear Verkline. Thanks everyone

The shop also suggested I get a front sway bar they said it would improve the handling,. Which I got. They said no need for (and maybe bad for a Rookie like me) to get custom rear sway as the car would need much more precision control on a more robust and rigid rear sway. So that will come after, when, and if, I am more experienced

The last bit of interaction was funny:

He goes: stock exhaust?
How do you hear the engine for the shifting? With your helmet on you won’t hear the engine and you will do dash rev shifting. You gotta learn to listen to and feel the engine”

(I drove manual for 25 plus years. And he’s actually right, I’ve never looked at the revs, is actually more of a feeling thing.)

Me:
Sir, for now I’m trying to stay in the gray part of the ground in the track. But will consider switching the transmission to manual in the near future.

Should've told him the door speakers make it plenty loud to hear the engine revs ?

Long overdo but finally installed. Versus heat shield. Did anyone get a smell after installing it? Maybe some of the cerakote burning off?

 

[Gabe]

About 200 street miles in it. No smell. But wasn’t paying attention to it. TBH.

Didn't notice anything with mine.

 

[jchadwell]

Oil change, sta-bil, battery tender, mouse traps(just in case), not to be seen again until March. ?

In that process as well. Still have to give it a bath, put on its pajamas, and read it a bedtime story.

 

[BMWAF]

Committed. 45% off a down pipe and 15% off MHD super licence took me over the edge.

Femto for 2025.

Give it a second look and be sure that no wire harness or plastic is touching the shield.

if you have wires or plastic down there, you have other problems.

maybe he left something in there like a screwdriver, a cellphone, half a sandwich, or something
