What did you do to your Supra today?

Made her watch while I elevated the daily to project car status.

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I swapped out my stock wiper blades for something different.

Yeah McDonalds doesn’t have the same appeal (or probably quality as well) over here

Fixed the broken lead on my emergency air pump's 12V connector:

Also, ordered another "Compressor Assembly, Air", part number 44890-WAA02, with a hopefully less janky cord.

Definitely worth buying a better air compressor. These battery ones now have really improved. Got my kid one for trips, charge the puter , or other devices and I’ll be damned… it works so well, I got one myself.

Had an awesome first track day with the Supra at Sebring International Raceway.

I planned on driving, but I ended up surprising my wife and handing her the helmet instead.

She had an absolute blast behind the wheel! It was also great to connect with the local GR community as well here in FL. We met a few other Supra owners, along with folks in GR86s and GR Corollas.

GR Corolla didn’t make it to the last lap however, it overheated.

Badass!!!!! So glad to hear you got your little woman out there. I got my wife into it as well. It’s great to be able to go together and have a “sponsor” . Hopefully, we’ll see you out there Oct-March. And don’t feel too bad about other cars cooking . Most will overheat this time of year in the afternoon. Unless you’re driving a MX5 or something with less power (making less heat).

Was on my way to Road Atlanta for the weekend when an executive approached me from the new Rocket League Live Action Series...offered me a tryout.

Safe to say, I nailed it.

*loud noises warning*

Damn! Dinner is served though? Glad it wasn't worse.

Woke up before work to triple clean the base model calipers. Scrub them. Clean them again and prep for paint!

ready to shoot when I get done work today! They will not be red and I’m torn on the retro Supra badge!



*EDIT* Just finished How does it look?

Took the car to the track:

Had a major storm on Saturday and we drove under the rain: very educational. LOL.
I had my street tires, some of the faster guys with grippier tires were sliding more than me and going slower than me. I got the check ride for HPDE2

Sunday was sunny and nice. Car as always performed. First time driving solo.
Plan is to do a few track weekends, then sit with an instructor to correct mistakes.

even tho is not about how fast can go, my times continue to improve as I trust myself more behind the wheel.

What a blast to watch! I was rooting for you to stay in front of that C8! Whats the setup on the car? Mods?

DId the EVO check out or dip off the track? Didnt see him after like halfway through the video!

I gave mine a thorough washing and installed the set of wheel spacers I got from another owner here.

Now I have a question. The bottom of the back window seems to be a place that collects water. The gap between the glass and the body is like 3/16th of an inch. Is everybody's that way? Anybody concerned about that? Or know of a way to fix it?

I don't mind wicking it dry, or opening the hatch and making it all flow out near the top, but this is my daily driver and it rains a lot here in SW Florida!

Normal. Just open the hatch. You dry under there anyway.

Here we go!!

Has a built in hardener for the paint, seems to get decent reviews on YouTube. Also very toxic, went with a cheap mask and some nice 3m filters

Gassed up my baby

I havent put gas in mine since the beginning of May. Maybe I should drive it more.....

Sure you can find some weather stripping from Jeff (Amazon) if you desired.

Thanks! It was a really gripping experience (pun intended)

day one was great because of the rain. But day 2 was amazing.

that white corvette was on my mirror during the entire session but for some reason he kept coming out of the turns into the long straights way slower than I expected.

we were NOT racing but I will call victory there!!!! Little Supra proved its worth against that beast.

funny thing you ask about that EVO. That unassuming car was an absolute animal. We drove one behind the other on 2 sessions and he was FAST! but at one point he lifts and lets me pass and goes limping to Pits. Why? I don’t know! I looked for the driver to talk but couldn’t find him. I was thinking the brakes were giving up? Car got too hot?? Happened on both sessions.

one thing is very real: car racers are concentration demons. Just the presence of a car in front or behind you takes away from the focus of driving. I got phenomenal footage of the EVO making mistakes when I was too close to him and me making mistakes when getting close to him or having the Vette behind. (Will post here for fun) and I recorded a few people spinning on the rain.

regarding my car is Stock engine power but the rest is wildly modified. I was on my Conti street tires because I’m a beginner (now level 2!) driver. So it’s more car than driver skills, but I can tell I’m getting better.

Beautiful! I’ve turned so many laps around homestead in iRacing, made it even more enjoyable!

Got a quick picture before the sun went down. Really happy with the color choice and big fan of this paint. Should hold up really well!
