She is still alive!!! the sup came out of sleeping
 
So TE and I picked up the supra on friday around 4. The car was in storage where it didnt get any type of treatment prior to being put away. SO it needed a jump, needs a oil change and plugs not to mention the gas in the tank that has been in there for 6 months.

So we jump it. She starts right up on bad gas and all that stuff. We drive it to the nearest gas station to add air to the tires. I stupidly shut the car off not thinking so I need a jump again lol (dumbass).

After that we bring it down to the shop and toss her up on the lift to do the oil first. let me just say Toyota engineers were smart with the built of this car but god damn it the oil filter is in the worst spot I have ever seen. In any case it got done. So we start on the plugs. Easy enough but as we are pulling the coilpacks out I say to keith easy because they are known to crumble and fall apart, he goes ehh should be fine..... wait never mind that broke". So we look at the rest and notice they are all broken from the prior owner(s). So we make do with what we have the car runs just fine but need to replace them asap lol.

The main thing I am getting at here is SEBBA I fixed the bottom underside of the bumper hahahaha. Well that and I now have the supra out and about and I jsut did my first 1st and 2nd gear pull about 10 mins ago after the fresh gas worked its way in. Car still pulls nice and hard.


Sweeeet its about damn time to let the fun start

Nice, did you get any new pics of the rear bumper?

Congratulations!

So now the bumper is even on both sides, and all attached along the bottom?

Pics, or STFU :D

no pics yet, The bumper is not completely even on both sides. I cant tell if it is something that mounts under the taillight. I have to pull the driver side light out and see. It looks 100000000000000x better already though. We also toyed around with the exhaust to tuck it up under the bumper better. One of my gripes about the HKS Carbon Ti was it hung to low, but that is now fixed too.

Just got in from a nice all day drive lol. Did a few 1-2 pulls and it moves good. the cool temps here still make 1st usless. I just instantly hit redline and burnt rubber smell fills the cabin
