What did you do to your Supra today?

[DarkZupra]

Beautiful!! Now convince me the install isn't too bad....I really want one and am dreading the install.

Takes 15 mins if you know what youre doing. Really not that scary.

Finally cleaning up the terrible polished bits on the Borla exhaust. High temp primer and paint to black it all out.

And here I thought your Supra was getting married.

Finally, installed a few pieces. Dinan CAI, turbo inlet, strut braces, AA catted down-pipe, FTP motorsports charge-pipe and new steering wheel.

New wheel but kept OEM paddles? ?

Pretty much every Super200 is faster than the RC1. The top four for sure.

Maxxis tires are kinda meh.

They're great for enduros and summer events in South GA/fl. Tires melt out there. Definitely not the best performing, but they have a place and purpose

Source for the wheel? Love how the thumb cutouts aren’t too pronounced.

Factory toe is all over the place wtf. Only mod is camber plates. Ran out of rear camber adjustment. Probably tick the rf camber down to 3.5-3-6 to match the driver side. All in all pretty happy for no aftermarket arms.

Find a different alignment shop.... Also, what is your spring/coilover setup? You may have other issues going over 3.5° camber in the front.

This got to be the worse alignment spec before and after lol

What's wrong with the after ? it's almost perfect.

3.5 isn't even scratching the surface on a bmw multi link. The pyrometer determines camber.

why is front camber different and rear camber + toe not exactly matching. i want that spot on spec ?

Because I told the gentleman not to touch my camber plates because I can adjust that myself. I can't adjust cross toe, however.

Camber also changes 0.3* with me in the car to 3.8 on the driver side and -2.3 in the rear driver side

If you're chasing a # on an alignment rack you're wasting your time because you're going to adjust the alignment on a track car almost every track day based on conditions and tire temps

Lmao, this guy.

The front of our cars isnt a multi link.... And I get that a pyrometer is how you dial in camber but again, depending on what your setup is, your springs may be binding on the shock towers. I also get my alignment done with me sitting in the car or equal weight.

And lastly, do you not think adjusting camber is going to mess with toe?

 

[licklobster]

It's the same-ish strut front multi link rear that's been on every bmw for the last 30 years, what.


It does, but when you start from neutral thrust with no cross toe (off an alignment rack), it takes two seconds to reset toe with toe plates because you adjust one side as a time and will never put yourself into thrust that way.

Happy to demonstrate the process because I have to do it later tonight. Regular thing on the exocet.
