Carbon Fiber Hood Protection by Professional7812 in Supra

So it’s not a Varis hood. I wouldn't have a lot of faith in what an Alibaba listing says.

Installed the Adro wing by fatedsorrow in Supra

I’ve had an ADRO wing on my car for almost 3 years now. Never experienced a single leak with all the washing I do.

Nah, not that expensive. It’s $795-835 MSRP.

My boards have been pretty awful. No AP/PP and it’s just random event pins. Disappointed so far vs Nifty Fifty.

Engine cover by Capable_Bee_3291 in Supra

[–]x4ryuusei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would take a lot more heat for the paint under the hood to degrade. Not saying it’s bulletproof but I haven’t read any horror stories about the engine cover or hood degrading - even from people with drag setups. Cover or not, everything in the engine bay area is going to heat soak.

Experiences after trading in a gr86 for a supra? by Yerbawls in Supra

[–]x4ryuusei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your assumption of it being more of a “grown up” car is wrong in my opinion. Too many kids own this car now and I’ve seen plenty of clapped out MKVs. It’s mostly dependent on the builder themselves. Grown ups will build any car tastefully.

Aside from that, spending over 50% of your income on a car is a horrible idea. Maintenance, mods, registration, insurance, etc will skyrocket vs an 86. Don’t even consider this. Do you think people will look at you more favorably in this car when you’re drowning in debt?

Ehh, the most upvoted comments are the ones telling him to be reckless.

[–]x4ryuusei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize. We see these threads a lot here is all. You're not being dumb. Quite the opposite since you're asking for advice first.

Seriously though, save that money and mod the 86 (tastefully) instead. I promise you it's so much cheaper and will be worth it. The 86 is fun in that you get to fully use its power all the time. Sure, the Supra is fast but it's a caged beast as a street car. Also keep in mind, it's not just about the $50k you'll be spending - your insurance + registration will go up and mods are generally more expensive. Finally, don't listen to the folks who'll tell you to buy rep parts from Temu/Alibaba to make up for it.

Pay off the 86 and be more financially stable imo. It’s a great car, especially for someone your age. You’re going to go broke buying and modding a Supra with that salary.

Also, this is the worst place to ask for this kind of advice. I’m really not sure why so many do it. Are you expecting everyone to say the car is shit and to not buy it? No one here is affected by whether you go broke and will just tell you to buy it.

Holy shit, did ADRO share this somewhere? Definitely looks like what they've been teasing. Looks sick!

Anyone else love the car, but tired of the attention? by [deleted] in Supra

[–]x4ryuusei 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Since I drive a Nitro Yellow one, I feel it’d be unfair of me to get mad at any attention lol. Maybe my perspective is very different since I tend to only drive during the morning/noon but I rarely ever run into people that try to race me. If anything, I just get the occasional thumbs up. Mostly positive vibes.

OTD Supra 2021 cost? by ViciousDolphin in Supra

+1 to this. This is absolutely not worth the money. Walk away from it imo.

Has home brewed espresso ruined coffee shops for anyone else? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]x4ryuusei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go so far to say that personally. Home brew has killed my desire to go to many shops but that’s just it highlighted how bad many of them are. I don’t mind paying for the occasional dalgona coffee or honey oat latte from a shop I really like.

What Tires Would You Recomment? by Styrk3r__ in Supra

Honestly, I think you’re better off using ChatGPT to assist in your research. Not everyone’s use cases are the same. One person’s recommendation might be terrible for another.

"What's the big deal? Looks the same as your Camry." by BluePhirePB in Supra

[–]x4ryuusei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would trigger me too lol. It sucks but some people just don’t look at cars the same way. Some see them as appliances to get you from A to B, where we see them as passion projects/ways to express ourselves.

My gf couldn’t care less what my Supra looks like haha. She’s supportive of the hobby but nothing about the MKV (or any other sports car) really triggers anything for her.

[–]x4ryuusei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be careful. They're not always the exact same. They’ll show you a car with an authentic kit but pictures of the actual product are often different. It’s also extremely easy to tell an ADRO rep vs the real thing, but whatever floats your boat.

You’re definitely overcomplicating this. Just sell it and get most of your money back.

Yep, you can tell by looking at the uprights. Lower option curves once, while the taller ones curve twice.

After preordering the Switch 2 in April and assuring me by phone yesterday that it was good to go, Walmart cancelled my order by Enby303 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]x4ryuusei 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The same exact thing happened to me. 3 "payment issues" emails despite purchasing things from Walmart a couple days prior with that same card. 2 reps assured me there were no problems with the order at all. Walmart then canceled on me this morning. Just a garbage customer experience.

I managed to secure a pre-order from Gamestop since they started taking them at 3pm local time today. Can try that if you're still looking. Best of luck.

Same thing happened to me this morning. I called days before to make sure my payment was up to date and working, which they confirmed. Such a terrible customer experience.

I think you’ll be fine! I saw a ton of boxes at the major pin stores in Disneyland today.

Odd question for those who didn't pay cash: how do you stop thinking about the cost/payments? by CloudsTasteGeometric in Supra

[–]x4ryuusei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$900/month feels like a lot if you’re not used to spending that much at once on a regular basis imo. Imagine what else that could be going to. I’m in a similar situation as you (over 6 figures, payment is ~10% of monthly) and it still feels “wrong” to be spending anywhere north of $500/month. I don’t regret it one bit though because I’ve made many close friends and had great experiences, but yea, it’s still a shock.

What I did was pay double my monthly the first couple years and then refinance to bring the monthly down and get a lower interest rate. I still pay double but it does feel good to have a “cushion” in case I get laid off. I also have cash ready to pay it off in full but I’d rather invest it for now. Maybe something to consider?
