What did you do to your Supra today?

[Phlizza]

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”

I would just park on some plywood or 1x8 board. With the Supra the low pro blocks should be okay becuase the plastic jack points hang down a bit. But with other cars the side sill or plastic trays will hit the frame of the quickjack before the lift point/pinch weld touches the block.

If the tip diameter is the same as the HKS, you should be fine. That was my main concern before I installed mine.

I’ve never had the pleasure of hearing the mythical rock betwixt caliper and heat shield. Thought I blew the car up it was so loud and heinous. Pulled the wheel and found this little fucker wedged in there.

Amazing how something so small can make a noise that bad and loud, isn’t it?

I hadnt heard the noise before and thought something was really wrong.

Alignment check (It's the best speed shop in the area so why even bother getting a sheet?)

Oil change, and rotors. Working with Vredstein tires this week for some demo laps at AMP.

Is that sort of a Firefly quote?

I saw a similar car to mine in their gallery with the same wheels I wanted, got the specs and worked with them to order.

Installed the Seibon vented hood I bought from DarkZupra as well as some Aerocatch hood pins. Surprisingly I don't mind the black, or at least, I can live with it for some time while I consider if I'd rather paint match it silver or wait until I get some fenders and then look at wrapping the car.

Fitment is pretty good, just required a bit of work and adjustments to get it spot on (the rubber standoffs on the sides of the hood had to be trimmed for it to close properly, and the front bumper's depth is slightly un-even but isn't really noticeable unless you're really staring closely.)

For anyone interested, the hood pins are bolted in to now-widened holes where the retaining clips for the plastic trims covering the headlights used to go (a little bit above where the hood latches are) - this seems to work well as this means they're bolted to the front structural piece that the strut bars are bolted to.

Also; vented hoods seem to make a substantial difference to engine bay temps on this car. Before any long spirited drive would result in the engine bay feeling like a furnace when the hood is opened, temps feel half as hot now opening it after drives. I'd highly recommend investing in one if you garage your car for that reason alone.
