What did you do to your Supra today?

[Timmy_Jones]

Cleaned the engine bay, hoping we are halfway through winter and someday the salt is washed off the damn roads. (Wire is the battery tender)

 

[ky.supra]

No, you didn’t.

 

[razorlab]

No, you didn’t.

Lol, was going to say the same thing, you did not put 305/45/17 on stock wheels.

Over the past 2 or so weeks I have been doing stuff. Body shop hacked up a bunch of things on my car when it was at the body shop. Finally got around to fixing everything up front. They broke a bunch of bolts on the splitter, put a bunch of wrong bolts back in, left a couple out, didnt line things back up right.... you know typical body shop stuff. So I fixed all that. While the bumper was off, I also decided to replace the caster arm bushings with something better to hopefully solve my weird tire wear. I also decided to drill some holes in the bumper to mount my new canards. And to top it all off, I got me some new tires since track season is about to begin. I even decided to take it to work today!

Does that tire seriously say R17 or am I having a stroke?

Side-shot of the cheap Amazon rep of the ADRO lip I put on a month or two ago -- I don't think I ever actually posted any pics of it after claiming I would... oops.

Surprisingly decent fitment, right side has a hair of a gap (though my phone camera kind of hides that in this pic) but it isn't noticeable if you're not close to it / looking for it. For the $180 I paid, I'm pretty impressed honestly.

Fooling around with wheel colours again today. I think I prefer the more subtle silver. Then again maybe not, lol.

Honestly, red is magic in that it just works with ANY wheel color that isn't something outlandish like green. I can't even tell you which silver shade looks best because both look great with the red.

It looks great. Do you have a link for that lip?

Yes Reds a safe colour choice for a Sport car esp one with many compound curves. The darker silver wheels look more restrained and elegant while the bright silver "pops" more I think. Depends if you want the "look at me" look or not I guess.

Two days late but new daily to go with Supra…

How do you like the new engine in the 4Runner?
Kicking around that for my next 4WD vehicle.

First time owning a 4Runner so not sure how previous years were. I feel like if could have alil more pickup speed, mpg isn’t the best for a 4cyc. Drove to Orlando and back today, averaged about 20mpg. Went from a ‘25 Civic w 36+mpg. Wanted something w more space and the options from Premium trim combine with TRD Off Road are perfect.

First wash since like may of last year….

Took her to the track and yesterday I compiled video of the second session of the day.

new to me the MCS coilovers + TW100 tires on a square set up.

car feels incredible. Both the suspension and the tires transform the car.

I’m feeling more confident sending the car faster in sections where at the beginning I was braking, then lifting, now I can take a couple of this track extended straights with a little bend on the gas’s all the way.

my plan is to sit with a pro driver on then next session and correct mistakes. But overall, for someone who 1.5 yrs ago has never driven in a track, I think I have improved a bit.

my best lap on this session also saw a 4sec improvement over my previous laps on OEM suspension and street tires.

I realized the car cuts the engine power when the VSC senses slip, and the dash light goes on, so it’s a little frustrating to not have all the power at hand for a few secs coming onto the straights.

the following day I would take out the Nannie’s completely and try the car like that. (Will post the video of my semi spinning all over the place) It’s a bit unsettling to feel the rotation of the car, but I think I can understand better this car than a year ago and maybe anticipate what she’s doing.

MORE SEAT TIME FOR ME!!!

I feel the happiest when I’m scared while my ass is feeling the car rotate in ways a street driver is not used to.

next stop will be in Sebring in May, I will spend some time in the sim the next two months.

here’s the video I put together from that session, car starts rolling at min 3, my fastest lap starts at min 8 or so.

Don’t judge too harshly, I’ve driven Tesla cars for 10yrs before getting this car. .
I KNOW there is room for improvement.
