Drove home for Easter weekend and, boy was that a mistake. 200 miles of snow. This pic was the light of it. I wasn't about to pull off the road to take a pic of the Supra in a foot of snow. I had to dodge around rolled over 4-Runners while I white nuckeled it all over the road at 35mph. Almost put my track fuse back in and uncovered that button that says, "SNOW." The staggered stance and wide rears makes for crazy handling.
I have a daily driver. I just didn't trust it to make it the distance. The weather has been sunny and beautiful for weeks. Started raining like crazy and some magical thing happened where the water turned to this white stuff at higher elevations.
I feel your pain bro.. I got stuck in the snow with my Supra once also.. I agree it makes for "interesting" handling. Glad to hear you guided her home safely!

Ya, I had to take the long route home through three different states. Only ran into near flash flooding hydroplaining all over with the wipers on high and no visability. At least there was no gravel all over the road to chip up my paint more. Half way home my heater turned cold for some reason uninvestigated. Four hour icy tomb I drove. I felt I was suicidal for driving that road and take a Supra with me.
Reminds me of the journey I made from NJ to FL on Dec. 26th of this year when I moved.. all seemed wonderful until we hit NC and saw this....I have never seen an interstate in worse condition than this! The road has 2-3" of ice covering it! I guess in NC they dont know what rock salt is
That took some keen navigation.. and then after that they closed i95 and my buddy and I were forced to sleep in the Supra which was packed to the brim with shit in sub-zero weather.. every hotel had no vac. and people sleeping in the friggen lobby... after a short time sleeping (freezing) in the car we decided that a booth in Denny's was a more comfy spot! I feel your pain!
Damn I didn't think snow chains and supra could be in the same sentence. But when i bought my car, i had to drive it 1300+ miles from connecticut to Iowa in the first week of January. I had neither abs or traction control and i made it through the biggest storm this winter!!!!!!!! I will never do somthing like that again. Oh and i was on 18s!
Heh well i didn't hit snow till ohio. The thing i'll never forget is driving by 100s of cars that had gone off the road or been in accidents. 2 times i thought for sure that the car was gone but luck or the big guy^ was on my side .
I remember the months befor my supra got here and the members talking about how scary it was to drive the Supra in the rain. Well let me tell you this, it isnt.
I cant say anything about the age, but Car = nothing. How would you know what a Supra in the rain is like? I lose traction easily on dry pavement. Never been in the rain tho - knock on wood.

Is this just me or is this for real? I just received this from TOYOTA. If so, we all need to provide input on this. We all know how important our oem parts are for the supra community.

I am trying to determine my exhaust setup. A four inch turbo back straight pipe may be a little too loud and will attract police on the streets. So I have been contemplating a muffler. I was thinking to do a four inch stainless pipe from the turbo back to the HKS Ti or HKS carbon Ti muffler...
I have a 94TT that's BPU, though with Kelford T202C cams (264/272), SAFC/AVC-R. Recently though I've noticed a lot of grimy soot collecting on the rear bumper, both near the exhaust as well as the other side. Just had it detailed, and the rear was grimed up noticeably by the time I got home...
So I have a JDM Aristo engine and automatic transmission. I am planning on dropping this into an SC300.
Does anyone know what the differences are between the JDM GTE Automatic transmission, versus a Supra GTE automatic transmission and the SC300 automatic transmission?
I'm curious because I'm...
Hi all,
here is a very interesting video, where aero tests are performed on scale models of the JZA80, AW11, FC RX7, and Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ. The Supra tests start at 32 minutes.
I searched to see if this had been posted previously, but found nothing, so hopefully there are plenty of...
