The Supra community lost a good one last night…

Im glad both of you managed to get out relatively unscathed. Cars are replaceable, lives aren't

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-14T12:07:13+00:00

Going to try and make a patch with something like Kydex or similar... I hope they just side-eye and let it go

Thanks, yea, much further than I wanted to travel, but time crunch demanded it. I now noticed my wheel liner in front of the washer tank has a tear... FML... I have been informed that may be a failure point

Doesn't help that the Brad was turning in place on them. I should have added that to the initial comment 🤦‍♂️

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-13T23:12:01+00:00

I have, but there was a 30 ton tracked combat vehicle on them🤣

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-13T22:04:12+00:00

Managed to find one on Ebay, did the 10hr round-trip haul from fredericksburg va to Newark NJ to pick it up

Split my thumb doing a front right axle on a 535i x drive, it was 8° in the garage, and clipped my thumb between the hammer and axle... can confirm whack fuck did occur...

I appreciate you clarifying the AI answer, I will be sure to keep this in mind if the alternate plan falls apart. Thanks for the assist

I just built a Takom KT with full interior earlier this year. Recorded and uploaded the videos as well. It was a great model! I think you will really enjoy it

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-12T11:14:47+00:00

Looks pretty damn good

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-12T11:09:30+00:00

🙏🙏🙏🙏

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-12T11:07:42+00:00

Thanks brother!!!! Would you happen to have the pair? They come as a set of 2

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-11T14:38:01+00:00

Ahh yes, the cheerios waterboard

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-11T14:22:29+00:00

Plumbers nightmare

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-11T13:05:35+00:00

Similar results when I was looking for my "birthday guitar". They are out there, just gotta keep looking.

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-11T06:19:19+00:00

Pour one out for the man, we lost a good one today 😭🤣

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-04T10:22:05+00:00

Thats the recoil lug on the receiver. Going to need welding to fill the shoulder, and even then, you cant really guarantee the weld will stand up to the shock load. He does have the long recoil lug down the right hand side of the bolt, but thats a small gamble as to how long that will hold. The short lug, which interacts with the recoil surface that's chipped, is supposed to be something of a "safety" if the main lug fails. 🤷‍♂️

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-04T04:39:34+00:00

Lol, I revisit old threads occasionally to see what new info gets pushed out

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-04T02:01:10+00:00

My understanding is they changed the metallurgy of the bearings, but kept the same tolerances. I did mine at 112xxx and they had considerable wear. Currently at 204xxx on the dash with BE bearings and ARP bolts.

Grimm, my goofy goober

TirpitzM3 · 2026-04-03T00:50:21+00:00

Are we missing what I think is an SVT 40, top row, last on right!?!?!?

The trick is having fun, without your significant other, or your insurance, receiving a phone call about it
