What did you do to your Supra today?

[3rdDegreeNinja]

Finally committed to changing the color of the soup, and couldn’t be happier with it. Always wanted a blue car and finally made it happen, Absolute Zero to Porsche Lugano Blue. And went with the PPF color change so don’t have to really worry about the paint getting messed up now so that’s a plus. Added the additional vents to the hood as well. Hoping to get back on track soon but might have to wait till it gets cooler again.

Bought quick jacks. Don’t fit under car. Comes with a large and small pad. Small pad won’t clear. Anyone buy the low profile ones?? Only on Whiteline springs. Not super low - it’s barely hitting by like 1/8”

Join the club. I have to drive up on some wood to get the jacks under my car. Kinda annoying but not the end of the world. Also, I have to use the big blocks or it will hit my verus side skirts.

Appreciate it. Also found this thread. Might try the super low pads mentioned.

would those Verus pucks work with these? You might still need to drive up some wood, but atleast you wouldn't have to align the quickjacks to the female jackpoints

Installed Future Classic’s 18MM rear spacers (hub centric of course). I was running 15MM in the rear but I think 18MM is the perfect fitment. I have PPF installed so it takes the edge off the debris being thrown at it.

Stunning brother! Wow. Now you have my wheels turning on a color change.

2 runs. Pure 800, Dorch DS25, S58’s, BM3 on E40, 30psi. ATS stage 1 trans. Tuned by Doug Newton. He has the Smoothing set at 5 so dyno graph doesn’t show a more smooth curve.
660/611

The super low profile ones won't work because then the car will rest on the jacks on the side skirts (they hang down lower than low profile ones allow). Just drive up onto some wood or small ramps. Then slide them under and use the normal blocks.

Did an oil change (yesterday), finally swapped to 5w30.

Still amazed at how easy the oil change is, having the filter accessed by the top rather than having to unga-dunga it at an odd angle while deep under the car is great.

Umm I'm not sure I agree. Lets see. A normal filter is under the car where you are anyway removing the drain plug and is in a disposable canister which is easy to remove and install with the correct and cheap tool. A simple neat package where everything is replaced with a brand new item every filter change. The Supra/BMW option requires a filter element and multiple orings and the occasional jammed and broken filter and reaching over the side of the car to get at it all and the prospect of spilling oil while doing it. You also can't pre charge the filter and all the time you're dealing with a reuseable multi piece plastic housing.
Given the choice I'd go with the conventional option every time. Less parts, simple and easy in a location you are already in anyway. If you're uga-dugering a conventional filter canister then there's an issue with who has been changing it in the first place. No uga-duggering required at all if it's done correctly.

I simply outlined my thoughts on the matter because thats what forums are for aren't they esp when you have 50 years of experience in changing oil filters on everything from every different configuration of motorcycle, aircraft jet engine and piston engine, aircraft hydraulic system and fuel systems and automotive engines.
Of course you may be an ideolog and think a forum is no place for anyone with a different point of view based on a lot of experience. Not an uncommon thing. But thats not my problem.
You're in the minority there I think.
