Took the Supra up through the Heysen tunnels today for a bit of fun, and aural pleasure. Unfortunately the GoPro stuffed up the first two times around and then on the second time up i had a cop blat past me. Second time on the way down i got this:

Got out of the acceleration run though because i thought i saw a cop in my rear vision mirror and it would be annoying to get it defected for the entire reason i have the variable exhaust.

Hahahha, a mate of mine was responsible for this:

Dont think so for the Supra though.

Added the requisite CAMS sticker, and decided to slap an IPRA sticker on there too:

Tonight i machined down the spacer rings a poofteenth so i could fit the 17″ meshies. They need new tyres, because having retarded stretched 185/50/17s on a 7.5″ rim is just stupid, but they look ok. Oddly the sticker on them says 16×7, when i measure them as roughly 7.5″ wide and they are fitted with 17″ tyres.
It would be ideal if they had a touch less offset, but as it is now at least they wont scrub.
Have to get tyres fitted to the rear before i can put them on though.

Also the elbow rest thing was really rooted when i got the car, so i got some new foam and retrimmed it:

Not quite the family tartan, but hey, its a bit of period styling… yo.
