What did you do to your supra today? Pics

Not today, but yesterday I changed my transmission gear oil and switched to Redline MT90. It shifts super smooth now, I'm very happy. I also changed the differential oil.
I also re-torqued my sub-frames as per the TSRM. I was really surprised when some of the bolts actually moved. On the way home I noticed the car seemed more solid going over bumps in the road. I also noticed it was quieter going over railroad tracks and things like that. There used to be some noise that came out of the suspension, but it is gone now.
While I was under the car I noticed there are a few rust holes forming in the resonator and muffler welds which explains the slight rattle when pulling out. Now I'm looking for an exhaust for my N/A that sounds and looks stock, my options seem to be very limited.

Drove it tonight to the ATM machine to make a deposit and it's freezing here in Houston so the water on my car turned to ice and as I was driving it sounded like my hatch was made of styrofoam. Damn hatch squeak.
Yea mine do it on both sides I don't remember what causes the issue but it was in a thread

Nice!^^
I got home today around 11, and saw that UPS delivered my radio from the Kenwood service center that I had to send it to for warranty service. So the first thing I do is open it up, and go straight out to the car and pull the other one out and put my Kenwood back in. Everything seems to be working fine! But I did put a small scratch on the screen when I bumped it with the ratchet. I hope it isn't noticeable.

I looked into that as well I wish I had the ability to custom make panels and such I'd wire up a nice android tablet and set it to sleep when I turn the car off, etc. I really looked into it and it seems the only hard part really is mounting it; otherwise, you can use the cig lighter wires for the power source, mount an external amp for the speakers, and if you want it to handle phone calls most tablets have a sim slot, and to make everything easier you can either find a custom rom or use a car dash app to navigate. That's the beauty of android tablets you can do whatever you want with them. It can work very well if you can figure out how to mount it and make it look clean and nice but kind of difficult to do with our cars especially since the double din is mounted so low down you have to look downward to operate it I wish it was mounted higher up.Backlash2032;1994065 said:
I'd be happy with tablet mounted right were the factory radio is. I just need to figure out how to make it output 4 channel, rather than just stereo..

Yeah but it's not true 4 channel. It would be the same signal front and rear. Which I suppose isn't a big deal..

There are some double-din Android based stereos for sale. They don't seem to do conventional AM/FM radio though.
Hmm. I'll have to look into it. Last I checked there wasn't anything hahaha
The am/fm could be easily cured by an app.. my personal favorite is tune in radio. Just streams the station through the internet.
