What did you do to your Supra today?

[TBK]

Jealous of all that tire sidewall. Pot holes are brutal around here.

Our roads here are pretty epic in that sense. So are our tracks. Pristine condition. The downside is that we don't have as many nice winding roads as some other places. There are couple of nice mountain passes nearby though

Over the weekend, I decided to finally install a dashcam in my car. I've owned it since 2022 and went with the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus. The installer did a great job hiding all the wires. Living in Los Angeles, where hit-and-runs and uninsured drivers are way too common, having a dashcam just makes sense for peace of mind and protection.

Clean install. I know running the wires to the hatch was a pain. I got my cam to record up to 1 hour by motion detection after turning engine off to conserve battery. May get an external battery for it some day.

Hardwired? and where'd you go to get installed? I won 50% off Type S stuff at the Larry Chen meet, so I'm gonna get a dash cam. I've had my last 3 cars totaled by terrible drivers smh.

So when I contacted the guy who was going to install the camera, I sent him the video below so he could see the camera I wanted and the kind of clean installation I was looking for:





He told me the video was already 5 years old and that newer installs can now use an OBD-2 parking mode power cable to power the dashcam. I told him I didn’t know anything about wiring and asked him to recommend the best BlackVue dashcam options for me. It came down to the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus and the BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus. I ended up going with the LTE Plus model. The installer is located in Upland, California.

Just text him, and he’ll text you back.

First mod I do on all cars is to install dash cam. installed on Supra within 72 hours of ownership. Front really isn’t hard, would take me under 30 minutes to do it again. The rear is longer only because you want to run the wires inside the rubber boot of the hatch. Took me a good 30 minutes to run wires from boot to 3rd brake light. about 2 hours total front/rear. Having pry bar helps a lot To pop panels out. There’s a detail installation video here I watched that helped.

~ I understand your reasoning for having a dash cam but … personally I’m not sure I could tolerate seeing that in my rear view mirror on a regular basis. ?

That was the exact reason I didn’t install the rear one. The blend mounts for radar detectors are another one. They look like you have a split window windshield.

My buddy is going to the F1 race this weekend & island hopping to different places/countries. His wife sent my wife cool pics of the hotel & other sights. Meanwhile my friend sends me pics of…. tires ofc. Which I thought was for gas savings. However he said the driver told him they were for sand dunes. Wonder how our Supras would do? I remember reviews were pretty negative in the snow (back when people were still bent out of shape with her having BMW DNA ?), but no one ever mentioned/critiqued how she’d do in sand dunes! Mighty fine tire brand I might add ?

Those tires are incredible for offroad (sand dunes) work. Unmatched. They're a very common sight across the GCC countries. They're referred to as "900s".

Typical weekend hangout looks like this. I was in proper culture shock the first time i saw this in person

Lunch break at the track.

Fitted Verus caps and heatshield today. That bottom bolt on the heatshield was a PITA to thread in. Fortunate that I have piano hands, so I managed to squeeze it in there.

Next up is titanium chargepipe and Do88 manifold!

For a quick minute I thought that ?was some kinda stone cold marble wrap….


Anything affordable in those top two categories ?

Unfortunately I really need to use up what I‘ve got. It’d be fun to take the OEM ones to the track and drive the snot outta them until nothing is left. Then have one of the tire companies put on one those above on trackside. Sure would beat waiting for tire rot to set in, driving only 5k miles per year in town. That way it wouldn’t be so obvious I bought another set of tires. Hummmmmmmm…. you got me thinking Geroge ? ? ?

Dat’s da way (uh huh uh huh, we likes it, uh huh uh huh…) Beautiful car ? Just need to get you some numbers Marlon. Track Decals have really good quality ones you can reuse but… they take about a track season to send them to you after you order ?

I've got another track day or two left on the OEM's and then I think I'm going to go with the ECS02.

the verus heatshield can be pre assembled prior to installation.
it'll slide right over the wastegate arm.
