Rebuilding a Wrecked 2020 Supra

**A Unique Experience with My New Car**

As I sit here with my new car, I have to say that I'm really enjoying it so far. The blue color is a great choice and the Titan logo looks sharp on the dashboard. However, I do wish they had done more work on the branding, some brands just don't get it right when it comes to their logo. But, overall, I think we have a good logo and it's definitely eye-catching.

The car's cold start is quite loud, almost deafening, which can be a bit intimidating at first. However, once it warms up, it's surprisingly quiet. I did notice that the sound of the engine is really deep and rich, which I think adds to the overall driving experience. The sound system in this car is also very impressive, with crisp and clear highs that are perfect for listening to music or podcasts.

**The Not-So-Good News**

Unfortunately, my new car has a few quirks that need to be worked out. One of the main issues is that whoever owned this car before took it to the dealer, which means that the ECU (engine control unit) is locked. This makes it difficult for me to flash the car and unlock the ECU, which is required to install my preferred tune. I'm planning to send the car out to get the ECU unlocked as soon as possible.

Another issue I've encountered is with the passenger seat. As you can imagine, having a carbon bucket seat without a passenger seat is a bit of an issue. However, I'm not letting that stop me from enjoying the car. The super gnarly carbon bucket seat is definitely one of its best features, and I'm happy to trade off a passenger seat for it.

**Toe-Out Adjustments**

One thing I did notice when I was trying out the car was that the toe-out adjustment was a bit tricky. As you can imagine, having too much toe-out can be a problem, especially with the leading wheels. However, by adjusting the toe-out angle, I was able to get the car to handle much better and even reduce the risk of rubbing issues on the inside.

**Clutch Switch Installation**

Once we have the clutch switch installed, I'll be able to experience one of the coolest features of this car - the ability to "clutch kick" the car. This will allow me to float off throttle and maintain control of the car even when it's in boost mode. It's a game-changer for drifters like myself, and I'm excited to see how it'll transform my driving experience.

**Heat Issues**

As you can imagine, having an automatic transmission in a car like this can be a bit of a heat issue. The lack of airflow to the front of the car means that it can get quite hot, even with the exhaust flaps closed. I'm planning to upgrade to a heat exchanger to help mitigate this issue and keep the engine cool.

**The Fun Begins**

With the clutch switch installed and the ECU unlocked, I'm ready to start playing around with the car's settings. One of my main goals is to get the trans control figured out and learn how to use it effectively. I'm also excited to work on developing the knuckle setup and see what kind of performance gains we can make.

For now, though, I think I'll just enjoy the car and do some celebratory donuts. The super grippy tires and stock suspension make for a surprisingly fun driving experience, especially with the limited-slip differential that comes with this car. It's definitely throwing me around a bit, but I'm not complaining. Bring on the drifting!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right guys welcome to another video I would say low-key I've been looking for another A90 Supra but I've been posting on Instagram about it and I've been on the hunt for a crash or I should say lightly crashed A90 Supra preferably a 2020 for a very specific and odd project that I have planned found one in St Louis my old crew chief Andy was able to check it out at the auction lot which gave me a lot more confidence in it but as with any auction car there's still a little bit of risk and quite a bit of unknowns and it just showed up so we're about to see what we're getting ourselves into Adam has been staring at the date camera for the past two hours dude the driver he's saying he's gonna be here in an hour he's gonna be in an hour he's gonna be here in an hour I'm anxious and excited the funny juxtaposition of this is the same day that the super is getting delivered is the same day that the 992 GT3 got delivered and way more excited for the Supra it's also like the the role of the dice of not really understanding how clean the car may be so I'm like excited to get hands on it and figure out what's broken and if I have the parts to fix it means I could be doing burnout soon tires and everything come on it's smoked Geez Louise third Leaf operator go ahead let's raise it up a little bit and see see if we what we catch here there you go a little bit more a little bit more all right stop oh we're good maybe we'll go in reverse are you ready for this I'm ready then um holy money is it real or is it wrap I think it's rap no it's real quick 15's only Baby Come to Papa from the papa damn we even got ppf on this bit yeah I love super people get that what we should be able to just pull the jack in enough to get the wheel over this and then and she looks stuck underneath the hood that's a good sign I don't want one of these things that was modified and sheesh what what's not stock those those little sump over our fingers Dan the mirror caps are all broken what you got back there anything good oh Mr Peterson allegedly this car was uh in two accidents it was actually rebuilt before from potentially a rear end wreck that's what we're gonna try to see if we can find 15 000 miles it's not bad hopefully the strut Tower is solid hell yeah bro yeah this wheel looks a little tweaked suicide yeah don't worry we'll get them soon hopefully that's just some more ones but all right time to go home damn I'm stoked that the hood closes so good the hood looks salvageable the front bumper looks salvageable fender I mean a little bit of spray paint should be mint the important thing is the explanation of why I picked up this crash Supra perfect diet day in and day out well you know that I absolutely don't and that's where the

lz20 and at checkout use the code at mlz20 I want to give a massive thank you to visual for sponsoring this video and now we are back in all the fun with drift week and getting older the Allure of having like a nice comfortable drift car gets higher and honestly I was a little bit jealous of Duarte and Jordan's f80 drift car you can see Taylor's building one now the idea of having a newer car that makes Factory power that's good enough for drifting still comfortable with like Creature Comforts is very cool however the BMWs weren't really it for me just because of the fact that they're heavy I think they weigh like 36.50 they're big and as with any BMW especially the M cars the maintenance is a bit higher they have the weird things the crank Cub fix all those things that I didn't want to deal with especially being around other people with those cars the Supra which is technically a BMW has a bulletproof power plant that makes fantastic torque but the best thing about it is the car is very light I think it's about 400 pounds lighter than an f80m three they weigh in around 30 to 50 33 and then you can pull about I think 200 pounds out between the battery seats and putting a titanium exhaust on the biggest problem with it is the Supras well I would say they don't come manual but they do come manual now and TJ actually got a manual to do this not balling like TJ which is why I got a crash car but the limitation is the automatic transmission it has an 8 HP which is an automatic gearbox eight speed not ideal for drifting because you don't have the ability to use a clutch for clutch kicking becomes an issue when you have a handbrake but this is where we have a solution there's a company called HTG they make a standalone transmission controller for the 8 HP that they use in drifting in Europe and it works really well but I don't know how well it's going to work in a new car where I still want to retain its stock-like drivability but add the feature of putting in a clutch pedal which you can use to basically clutch kick the 8 HP automatic transmission sounds weird I promise you it will work well I just don't know how it's going to work well with keeping the car functioning like a stock car a bit more difficult than if I was putting this adhp in a drift car so the HTG team is actually flying in this weekend and this is going to be the development car to see if we can make it work and if it does work I think we're going to see a lot more of these A90 supers drifting a lot of people are following the mold that Jordan and darte have done with the f-80s but with the supers being the same price lighter personally I think better in stock form if drift HQ in collaboration with HTG can develop a solution that we can sell to allow you to put a clutch pedal and a handbrake in your A90 Supra I think it can be an alluring alternative I didn't mention what I paid for this car I'll let you know that the shells that me and Johan both have cost about the same amount as an s-chass to each cell as an S chassis as an S chassis shell tongue twister and this car in running driving form cost in the mid-20s you can find crash Supras under 20 obviously they might need a bit more body repair you can find one like this that's almost ready to go in the mid-20s and to be honest that's like the same price you would pay for like a well set up 500 horsepower of car that looks nice is comfortable like you're not going to get AC in a drift car so it may sound ridiculous and sound like a novelty but a drift HQ we see what people are buying we see what people are building and I believe it's a huge Market that's currently untapped because of the transmission limitation so we're going to figure out if we can make this 8hp work pretty confident we can but if we can't that's when we go into the development side of working on a manual transmission swap solution which has been done before but the information is limited and the whole purpose of this car is to learn develop create solutions for drift HQ and of course have fun I kid you not it's 8 30 a.m We normally start the day at 9am I get in here Johan's already got the rack out of the new Supra what'd you find you find anything broken lower control arm broken tie rod like literally split right here which looks like a pretty good weak point so luckily we have the leftover parts from that car oh so this is the rack for my old car right man that's convenient oh you got a whole car where the whole front ends pulled apart I think we should hopefully have everything huh yeah so I'm gonna Swap this over uh pop this way back in and the front end should be straight I'll check the other side just in case but I turned the wheel everything moves fine we gotta check the rear let's let the rears uh split out too which we didn't it was hard to see on the pictures so we'll check the rear see what we need and then get all that older or on the way unfortunately my car was hit on the same side as this car so in the rear we don't have access to a bunch of perfect arms but um lucky for us Titan kind of winds up with quite a few of these parts cars so hopefully they have the arms that we need but yeah I get in this morning I was expecting to put this thing on the left and no one's already in there deep looking at all the replacement stuff that we have so this thing might be driving today exciting stuff Pro tip whenever you're driving a car and you got a little bit of water left over I love using the ceramic speed shine as a drying Aid you can kind of mist it on and it's a little bit easier than applying dry then when you dry the car it'll leave a little bit of a haze so you'll want to go over it with another pass but it leaves a nice layer of protection and keeps everything nice and Slick cars 15 000 miles on it it had that side impact but I think the reason why this car got totaled out is because when a 2000 miles it was in a rear end wreck we haven't found a lot of evidence of that maybe I'll be able to research and find some photos the trunk does appear to be resprayed but the back left wheel is tweaked so right now we're looking at the arms the Owen's taking some measurements and we're gonna see if we can figure out what's been on this side so you can come up with a game plan and replace it a quick eccentric adjustment and it seems to get it close to good but it appears the only damage on the rear is on the lower control arm it's kind of squeezed in where it sits on the bushing versus this side where it's spaced out a bit more now we all know that we could just go full kill right off the rip with this car but I'm trying to look at this with the future of these cars coming down in price in mine and I really want to figure out a way to get cheap angle on these on the 350zs there's those angle adapters where you can get an extra 10 to 15 degrees of lock for next to no money so I'm gonna play around and for the first time I'm gonna try to design an angle adapter of my own and see if I can get a little bit more angle out of a stock car that still lets you keep stock arms and stock drivability but if you want to go to the track have a little bit more angle than you would otherwise upon closer inspection it looks like they did a really good job but I can definitely tell that this area has been re-sprayed looks like it almost looks like they blended it because this looks like OE clear here but it starts to get a little bit fishy around here this has definitely been repainted and then this over here for sure I mean it might even come back with a wet sand but whoever did it the color is pretty dang good yeah like from any more than a foot away you would not be able to tell especially the rear I mean you see a little bit of weird line in the trunk but the plan with this thing is to like crash it into walls and Sean booths so you know and Johan Drew bro I totally forgot your car's white too oh unfortunately it's not it's not you're painting it red no it's red it's red I forgot you got so many a90s dude yeah I can't keep up I can't keep up all right well then we get 10 in the red cars together if I fix the frame rails on the white one then we got a white one Sean can Sean can drive this one and then he'll be in between us and we'll look like uh what's red what's red white and red right Y and red uh Trini Trinidad yeah red white and blue I mean black you hear that Lee's gonna give you crap about that what's red white and red I'm trying to think what are the rockets that eat the red rocket the the ice pop oh yeah yeah we can look like a Canadian flag Josiah where you at interior needs some love but uh that'll be a fun project it shouldn't take too long I'm ready for some victory Donuts y'all on first first step I want to make sure this thing has full power I mean it feels pretty solid it felt good but really I punched out a little harder than that you punch it harder than that what are you trying to say bro it's Auto shifting I wonder rear axle differential lock I wonder if it's in some sort of weird mode you might have some nannies that are interfering right I mean that sense on top is on the front yeah even in manual mode it's automatically shifting it's Matt yeah I wonder if I think it's the ride height sensor yeah I think is annoying as that is I think that could could do it the back one was attached so it has to be that front driver's side yeah it's like short shift in the car it feels like that motor selfie though yeah sounds good yeah man I don't think she's gonna do some donuts right now yeah it instantly shifts damn I look back at this shirt and I cringe if you remember this design that makes you a long time follower of mine and for that I'm immensely appreciative now this all started when I made stickers that said Swagger as a joke for a high school video class and to my surprise people wanted to buy them but I wanted to make something cooler I followed the stereotypical logic of anyone's first T-shirt design I said hmm I like cars and I like bikes so I'm going to put both on a t-shirt I sealed the deal with the tacky yearbook quote about high bunny Hops and low cars and had two friends help me take some random photos and turn them into a graphic it actually all originated with my beautiful sketch right here as you can tell I'm quite the artist in March we're going to be exactly 10 years from that first t-shirt design and we've gone from me shipping out t-shirts in my bedroom to an amazing 16 person team based here in Central Florida over the years we've sent hundreds of thousands of packages all across the world and recently we've even gotten our shirts and Zoomies all across the USA to commemorate 10 wild years we are bringing back the original design with our new style and it's actually based on a real photo we shot with my childhood dream car that I now own it's only only going to be available in a special limited edition bundle that drops with our newest giveaway on Wednesday at 3 pm Eastern Standard Time set your calendars because this is a drop you're not going to want to miss I know I mentioned this is going to kind of be a budget build but the one thing where I just couldn't resist got to do an exhaust on the car stocked is way too boring way too quiet these things aren't the best sounding engines personally I think they sound better than the f80 like little farts and stuff that go on really raspy engine b-58 good engine but now we gotta make it sound good I spent quite a bit of time this morning trying to get the car out of limp mode we weren't able to grab over two grand yesterday one of the things I thought it was was the ride height sensor is missing the arm we ordered one from Toyota but it didn't come in time so I made a little MacGyver fix with zip ties I know it looks like it wouldn't work but when the car's on the ground it actually lets it follow the travel of the arm and it didn't solve a problem so then I went to the back because it was getting this weird diff faults and this wheel still had quite a bit of toe in like a half an inch so I corrected that because that made the steering wheel off center which was the next car mad didn't fix anything so here we are like probably like an hour into messing around with stuff trying to clear codes and do things sat on the car mad for 10 minutes they want to drive to go put the car away just came back to normal so hopefully it stays that way especially after I change the exhaust what the heck I don't think that's supposed to hold in the fuel tank it moved a little bit I don't know if I'd rather work on the four rotor Supra or the stock Supra stop did you come pick that up shut up we're uh we're fighting Gremlins on the forwarder Supra we've had a video that we've been filming since I've been back on the floor rotor but um we're waiting until it can be in a good spot to be excited you know right now she's fighting us I don't remember it taking so long to take this brace off yeah so did we take that out uh uh I think you did oh so I took out the gas tank straps thinking that they were a part of the brace but they weren't our brains aren't all here right now imagine the gas thing just fell imagine I was like why is the gas thing moving probably because I took out the bracket that would make sense I honestly repeat that again yes I am very envious of the people on YouTube that work on a lot of newer cars because it is so simple compared to a lot of the custom stuff that we do bolt-ons on our new car this is nice three bolts have the whole exhaust removed I love it good job not bad so we will save approximately 40 pounds with our new exhaust system feels like 60. well no that's the worst displayed with the new one this one true good guess some trash yeah yeah in the bin one thing that is really cool about the stocking 90 exhaust system is this flat section up here not super common to see on cars but that I think is the equivalent of like a three maybe three and a half inch oval exhaust so it gives it a little bit more flow while still giving the car super good clearance but it's heavy so we don't feel that I got a little excited so I'm jumping right into the next mod I'm pulling off the charge pipe on these cars the charge pipe is plastic and has a tendency to break and I don't want to be stranded when I'm drifting so it's coming off and I'm gonna replace it with a PPR unit strength test well I cut my hand and it didn't break no you don't oh for one yep that's gonna hurt got the new metal charge pipe from the homie Jordan aka RK Tunes he offers a plethora of parts for your BMW for your Supra if you're a big verbal tune guy he's your guy he's actually on drift week right now otherwise I would love to get him here to do this with me because this is really hard it's taking me all like two minutes uh but anyway nice I like that it's two piece because you don't need to snake it around it comes with different Hardware Loop it in brings back the old days back when you're spraying nitrous through this thing that was back when like I think these were still prototyped for him I think man I was actually pretty early to the super game it's crazy how long they've been around now yeah I feel old what is that song it keeps getting stuck in my head you know what I'm talking about is it from a commercial it sounds like a song that they would play like do you ever go to ice skating rinks when you're a kid yes we're both gonna sound really stupid that's why we don't know this off the cuff I feel like it's one of those things that like you know what the sound sounds like but you don't know what the song name is you know ice skating rinks they have those in Florida why do we go ice skating in in ice skating rinks when it is cool foreign as you guys know I've owned two A90 like S3 and 90s but two stock a90s at this point I've tried quite a few exhaust systems but one that I haven't yet is Titan's titanium exhaust system they are local it's always cool to support the local homies and this is actually one of the lightest on the market saves over 20 pounds it's beautiful and it still retains the factory valve see on there which is going to allow us to quiet it down if I ever do use it on like a drift week or something like that but start to assemble this thing I've been priding myself on not looking up any DIYs so let's see if this thing's simple to figure out foreign and I get to hear the sweet beautiful sounds of Titan Motorsports believe it or not this is my fourth A90 super exhaust what I like about it there's not that much adjustability and the clearance is really good nothing rubs but what I found with the other exhaust I had that a bunch of adjustability there's a lot of room to have stuff clocked or misaligned which then causes rattles and vibrations which is not fun so I've got pretty much everything fitted I'm going to do a wipe down with brake cleaner before I start it just to get all these fingerprints off that way they don't burn in and we can have a nice even finish instead of having my fingerprints burned all over it'd be kind of funny for a mean one time if I got a titanium exhaust put a bunch of greasy fingerprints all over it and then let it get hot I almost feel like it could look cool if it was intentional enough all right ready to hear this puppy I love the tips tips are sticking with a little bit of blue and the Titan logo they got a good logo you know you know some some Brands don't have a good logo I like our logo I think we have a good logo just be mindful cold start is really loud in these so it's not going to sound like this all time it's probably gonna be really loud foreign but that like vibrated the floor so much because it dumped right by your feet yeah it was kind of cool but I hated not having a passenger seat in like the super gnarly carbon bucket yeah yeah I'm gonna let this warm up for a little bit then we can rub it it's warm now so it should be a way quieter on Startup I did also find out some bad news I was trying to flash the car last night to turn the boost up and it seems like whoever had this car before took it to the dealer because the ECU is locked which means that I need to get it sent out to get unlocked like with the Jordan RK tunes on it and then once I put the Jordan RK tunes on it'll probably pick up like another 100 wheel and like another probably 150 foot pounds of torque but um we'll let it warm up for a second and then I'll let you know what this puppy sounds like my God but you want to show this bro I may or may not have gotten I was procrastinating last night I had emails I was supposed to do I was like you know what I really want to start my knuckle development so I did the the ghetto trick to find out how much angle that I could have without the leading wheel hitting stuff this was probably like two inches of toe out and right now like the ackerman's terrible on the car because like the leading Wheels like this and the trailing Wheels like this because I'm basically just cheating the fact of where the tie rod pickup is but this is a good sign because it's quite a bit angle and I'd say this wheel probably has like another 10 degrees more than it can go before it runs into any rubbing issues on the inside and that's if I'm running the factory front wheel but it looks pretty good right yeah it was pretty awesome the problem is when it came out when you tow out did you dangle your trailing wheel isn't going to have that much lock so you get a bunch of scrub which makes the car less fast at Big angle which isn't really a problem for what I'm doing but when I move the tie rod pickups it'll allow me to get a little bit more turn out of that but we still don't want too much because the the Buckle is going to be limiting factor on that side because then it like starts hitting stuff all right this is exhaust flaps closed normal mode but exhaust helps a lot yeah way better than before a little disclaimer I don't have control of the pops or bangs right now I know I'm an anti-crackle pop guide but there's a lot of crackers and pots until I get this thing flashed I'm happy with the sound I think it sounds good the grackle and the pop still gotta go so we'll we'll flash that out when we can obviously the big thing of this car is going to be development learning I really want to get that trans control figured out but I'm not gonna lie it actually works better and automatic than I would have expected next up we got to do the handbrake we're gonna get the trans control figured out and I want to start playing up with the knuckles uh but for now we're gonna go enjoy the car do some celebratory Donuts have some fun oh foreign just makes you sit on your seat yeah dude like I think with the stock suspension and the super grippy tires that it comes with like it is throwing you around I'm glad I figured out how to get the lock seat belt to lock because before it was so hard to drive but it's got like a decent amount of angle right yeah yeah all right you're up once we have the clutch switch hooked up the cool thing is you'll be able to kind of clutch kick the car which will also let you float off throttle because right now it's kind of difficult because the car doesn't catch and you have to like be really committed with a throttle to keep it in boost because it's an automatic so I'm really excited to see how that feels and kind of transforms the drifting experience foreign foreign it makes cars overheat really fast because you don't get any airflow to the front and I'm a little bit curious to see what happens with this but I am planning to upgrade like a heat exchanger in it but that's a great sign if we've just done a bunch of donuts and the temp gauge hasn't even moved that's it Bulls see you soon with the other Supra with four rotor stuffall right guys welcome to another video I would say low-key I've been looking for another A90 Supra but I've been posting on Instagram about it and I've been on the hunt for a crash or I should say lightly crashed A90 Supra preferably a 2020 for a very specific and odd project that I have planned found one in St Louis my old crew chief Andy was able to check it out at the auction lot which gave me a lot more confidence in it but as with any auction car there's still a little bit of risk and quite a bit of unknowns and it just showed up so we're about to see what we're getting ourselves into Adam has been staring at the date camera for the past two hours dude the

getting delivered is the same day that the 992 GT3 got delivered and way more excited for the Supra it's also like the the role of the dice of not really understanding how clean the car may be so I'm like excited to get hands on it and figure out what's broken and if I have the parts to fix it means I could be doing burnout soon tires and everything come on it's smoked Geez Louise third Leaf operator go ahead let's raise it up a little bit and see see if we what we catch here there you go a little bit more a little bit more all right stop oh we're good maybe we'll go in reverse are you ready for this I'm ready then um holy money is it real or is it wrap I think it's rap no it's real quick 15's only Baby Come to Papa from the papa damn we even got ppf on this bit yeah I love super people get that what we should be able to just pull the jack in enough to get the wheel over this and then and she looks stuck underneath the hood that's a good sign I don't want one of these things that was modified and sheesh what what's not stock those those little sump over our fingers Dan the mirror caps are all broken what you got back there anything good oh Mr Peterson allegedly this car was uh in two accidents it was actually rebuilt before from potentially a rear end wreck that's what we're gonna try to see if we can find 15 000 miles it's not bad hopefully the strut Tower is solid hell yeah bro yeah this wheel looks a little tweaked suicide yeah don't worry we'll get them soon hopefully that's just some more ones but all right time to go home damn I'm stoked that the hood closes so good the hood looks salvageable the front bumper looks salvageable fender I mean a little bit of spray paint should be mint the important thing is the explanation of why I picked up this

come manual now and TJ actually got a manual to do this not balling like TJ which is why I got a crash car but the limitation is the automatic transmission it has an 8 HP which is an automatic gearbox eight speed not ideal for drifting because you don't have the ability to use a clutch for clutch kicking becomes an issue when you have a handbrake but this is where we have a solution there's a company called HTG they make a standalone transmission controller for the 8 HP that they use in drifting in Europe and it works really well but I don't know how well it's going to work in a new car where I still want to retain its stock-like drivability but add the feature of putting in a clutch pedal which you can use to basically clutch kick the 8 HP automatic transmission sounds weird I promise you it will work well I just don't know how it's going to work well with keeping the car functioning like a stock car a bit more difficult than if I was putting this adhp in a drift car so the HTG team is actually flying in this weekend and this is going to be the development car to see if we can make it work and if it does work I think we're going to see a lot more of these A90 supers drifting a lot of people are following the mold that Jordan and darte have done with the f-80s but with the supers being the same price lighter personally I think better in stock form if drift HQ in collaboration with HTG can develop a solution that we can sell to allow you to put a clutch pedal and a handbrake in your A90 Supra I think it can be an alluring alternative I didn't mention what I paid for this car I'll let you know that the shells that me and Johan both have cost about the same amount as an s-chass to each cell as an S chassis as an S chassis shell tongue twister and this car in running driving form cost in the mid-20s you can find crash Supras under 20 obviously they might need a bit more body repair you can find one like this that's almost ready to go in the mid-20s and to be honest that's like the same price you would pay for like a well set up 500 horsepower of car that looks nice is comfortable like you're not going to get AC in a drift car so it may sound ridiculous and sound like a novelty but a drift HQ we see what people are buying we see what people are building and I believe it's a huge Market that's currently untapped because of the transmission limitation so we're going to figure out if we can make this 8hp work pretty confident we can but if we can't that's when we go into the development side of working on a manual transmission swap solution which has been done before but the information is limited and the whole purpose of this car is to learn develop create solutions for drift HQ and of course have fun I kid you not it's 8 30 a.m We normally start the day at 9am I get in here Johan's already got the rack out of the new Supra what'd you find you find anything broken lower control arm broken tie rod like literally split right here which looks like a pretty good weak point so luckily we have the leftover parts from that car oh so this is the rack for my old car right man that's convenient oh you got a whole car where the whole front ends pulled apart I think we should hopefully have everything huh yeah so I'm gonna Swap this over uh pop this way back in and the front end should be straight I'll check the other side just in case but I turned the wheel everything moves fine we gotta check the rear let's let the rears uh split out too which we didn't it was hard to see on the pictures so we'll check the rear see what we need and then get all that older or on the way unfortunately my car was hit on the same side as this car so in the rear we don't have access to a bunch of perfect arms but um lucky for us Titan kind of winds up with quite a few of these parts cars so hopefully they have the arms that we need but yeah I get in this morning I was expecting to put this thing on the left and no one's already in there deep looking at all the replacement stuff that we have so this thing might be driving today exciting stuff Pro tip whenever you're driving a car and you got a little bit of water left over I love using the ceramic speed shine as a drying Aid you can kind of mist it on and it's a little bit easier than applying dry then when you dry the car it'll leave a little bit of a haze so you'll want to go over it with another pass but it leaves a nice layer of protection and keeps everything nice and Slick cars 15 000 miles on it it had that side impact but I think the reason why this car got totaled out is because when a 2000 miles it was in a rear end wreck we haven't found a lot of evidence of that maybe I'll be able to research and find some photos the trunk does appear to be resprayed but the back left wheel is tweaked so right now we're looking at the arms the Owen's taking some measurements and we're gonna see if we can figure out what's been on this side so you can come up with a game plan and replace it a quick eccentric adjustment and it seems to get it close to good but it appears the only damage on the rear is on the lower control arm it's kind of squeezed in where it sits on the bushing versus this side where it's spaced out a bit more now we all know that we could just go full kill right off the rip with this car but I'm trying to look at this with the future of these cars coming down in price in mine and I really want to figure out a way to get cheap angle on these on the 350zs there's those angle adapters where you can get an extra 10 to 15 degrees of lock for next to no money so I'm gonna play around and for the first time I'm gonna try to design an angle adapter of my own and see if I can get a little bit more angle out of a stock car that still lets you keep stock arms and stock drivability but if you want to go to the track have a little bit more angle than you would otherwise upon closer inspection it looks like they did a really good job but I can definitely tell that this area has been re-sprayed looks like it almost looks like they blended it because this looks like OE clear here but it starts to get a little bit fishy around here this has definitely been repainted and then this over here for sure I mean it might even come back with a wet sand but whoever did it the color is pretty dang good yeah like from any more than a foot away you would not be able to tell especially the rear I mean you see a little bit of weird line in the trunk but the plan with this thing is to like crash it into walls and Sean booths so you know and Johan Drew bro I totally forgot your car's white too oh unfortunately it's not it's not you're painting it red no it's red it's red I forgot you got so many a90s dude yeah I can't keep up I can't keep up all right well then we get 10 in the red cars together if I fix the frame rails on the white one then we got a white one Sean can Sean can drive this one and then he'll be in between us and we'll look like uh what's red what's red white and red right Y and red uh Trini Trinidad yeah red white and blue I mean black you hear that Lee's gonna give you crap about that what's red white and red I'm trying to think what are the rockets that eat the red rocket the the ice pop oh yeah yeah we can look like a Canadian flag Josiah where you at interior needs some love but uh that'll be a fun project it shouldn't take too long I'm ready for some victory Donuts y'all on first first step I want to make sure this thing has full power I mean it feels pretty solid it felt good but really I punched out a little harder than that you punch it harder than that what are you trying to say bro it's Auto shifting I wonder rear axle differential lock I wonder if it's in some sort of weird mode you might have some nannies that are interfering right I mean that sense on top is on the front yeah even in manual mode it's automatically shifting it's Matt yeah I wonder if I think it's the ride height sensor yeah I think is annoying as that is I think that could could do it the back one was attached so it has to be that front driver's side yeah it's like short shift in the car it feels like that motor selfie though yeah sounds good yeah man I don't think she's gonna do some donuts right now yeah it instantly shifts damn I look back at this shirt and I cringe if you remember this design that makes you a long time follower of mine and for that I'm immensely appreciative now this all started when I made stickers that said Swagger as a joke for a high school video class and to my surprise people wanted to buy them but I wanted to make something cooler I followed the stereotypical logic of anyone's first T-shirt design I said hmm I like cars and I like bikes so I'm going to put both on a t-shirt I sealed the deal with the tacky yearbook quote about high bunny Hops and low cars and had two friends help me take some random photos and turn them into a graphic it actually all originated with my beautiful sketch right here as you can tell I'm quite the artist in March we're going to be exactly 10 years from that first t-shirt design and we've gone from me shipping out t-shirts in my bedroom to an amazing 16 person team based here in Central Florida over the years we've sent hundreds of thousands of packages all across the world and recently we've even gotten our shirts and Zoomies all across the USA to commemorate 10 wild years we are bringing back the original design with our new style and it's actually based on a real photo we shot with my childhood dream car that I now own it's only only going to be available in a special limited edition bundle that drops with our newest giveaway on Wednesday at 3 pm Eastern Standard Time set your calendars because this is a drop you're not going to want to miss I know I mentioned this is going to kind of be a budget build but the one thing where I just couldn't resist got to do an exhaust on the car stocked is way too boring way too quiet these things aren't the best sounding engines personally I think they sound better than the f80 like little farts and stuff that go on really raspy engine b-58 good engine but now we gotta make it sound good I spent quite a bit of time this morning trying to get the car out of limp mode we weren't able to grab over two grand yesterday one of the things I thought it was was the ride height sensor is missing the arm we ordered one from Toyota but it didn't come in time so I made a little MacGyver fix with zip ties I know it looks like it wouldn't work but when the car's on the ground it actually lets it follow the travel of the arm and it didn't solve a problem so then I went to the back because it was getting this weird diff faults and this wheel still had quite a bit of toe in like a half an inch so I corrected that because that made the steering wheel off center which was the next car mad didn't fix anything so here we are like probably like an hour into messing around with stuff trying to clear codes and do things sat on the car mad for 10 minutes they want to drive to go put the car away just came back to normal so hopefully it stays that way especially after I change the exhaust what the heck I don't think that's supposed to hold in the fuel tank it moved a little bit I don't know if I'd rather work on the four rotor Supra or the stock Supra stop did you come pick that up shut up we're uh we're fighting Gremlins on the forwarder Supra we've had a video that we've been filming since I've been back on the floor rotor but um we're waiting until it can be in a good spot to be excited you know right now she's fighting us I don't remember it taking so long to take this brace off yeah so did we take that out uh uh I think you did oh so I took out the gas tank straps thinking that they were a part of the brace but they weren't our brains aren't all here right now imagine the gas thing just fell imagine I was like why is the gas thing moving probably because I took out the bracket that would make sense I honestly repeat that again yes I am very envious of the people on YouTube that work on a lot of newer cars because it is so simple compared to a lot of the custom stuff that we do bolt-ons on our new car this is nice three bolts have the whole exhaust removed I love it good job not bad so we will save approximately 40 pounds with our new exhaust system feels like 60. well no that's the worst displayed with the new one this one true good guess some trash yeah yeah in the bin one thing that is really cool about the stocking 90 exhaust system is this flat section up here not super common to see on cars but that I think is the equivalent of like a three maybe three and a half inch oval exhaust so it gives it a little bit more flow while still giving the car super good clearance but it's heavy so we don't feel that I got a little excited so I'm jumping right into the next mod I'm pulling off the charge pipe on these cars the charge pipe is plastic and has a tendency to break and I don't want to be stranded when I'm drifting so it's coming off and I'm gonna replace it with a PPR unit strength test well I cut my hand and it didn't break no you don't oh for one yep that's gonna hurt got the new metal charge pipe from the homie Jordan aka RK Tunes he offers a plethora of parts for your BMW for your Supra if you're a big verbal tune guy he's your guy he's actually on drift week right now otherwise I would love to get him here to do this with me because this is really hard it's taking me all like two minutes uh but anyway nice I like that it's two piece because you don't need to snake it around it comes with different Hardware Loop it in brings back the old days back when you're spraying nitrous through this thing that was back when like I think these were still prototyped for him I think man I was actually pretty early to the super game it's crazy how long they've been around now yeah I feel old what is that song it keeps getting stuck in my head you know what I'm talking about is it from a commercial it sounds like a song that they would play like do you ever go to ice skating rinks when you're a kid yes we're both gonna sound really stupid that's why we don't know this off the cuff I feel like it's one of those things that like you know what the sound sounds like but you don't know what the song name is you know ice skating rinks they have those in Florida why do we go ice skating in in ice skating rinks when it is cool foreign as you guys know I've owned two A90 like S3 and 90s but two stock a90s at this point I've tried quite a few exhaust systems but one that I haven't yet is Titan's titanium exhaust system they are local it's always cool to support the local homies and this is actually one of the lightest on the market saves over 20 pounds it's beautiful and it still retains the factory valve see on there which is going to allow us to quiet it down if I ever do use it on like a drift week or something like that but start to assemble this thing I've been priding myself on not looking up any DIYs so let's see if this thing's simple to figure out foreign and I get to hear the sweet beautiful sounds of Titan Motorsports believe it or not this is my fourth A90 super exhaust what I like about it there's not that much adjustability and the clearance is really good nothing rubs but what I found with the other exhaust I had that a bunch of adjustability there's a lot of room to have stuff clocked or misaligned which then causes rattles and vibrations which is not fun so I've got pretty much everything fitted I'm going to do a wipe down with brake cleaner before I start it just to get all these fingerprints off that way they don't burn in and we can have a nice even finish instead of having my fingerprints burned all over it'd be kind of funny for a mean one time if I got a titanium exhaust put a bunch of greasy fingerprints all over it and then let it get hot I almost feel like it could look cool if it was intentional enough all right ready to hear this puppy I love the tips tips are sticking with a little bit of blue and the Titan logo they got a good logo you know you know some some Brands don't have a good logo I like our logo I think we have a good logo just be mindful cold start is really loud in these so it's not going to sound like this all time it's probably gonna be really loud foreign but that like vibrated the floor so much because it dumped right by your feet yeah it was kind of cool but I hated not having a passenger seat in like the super gnarly carbon bucket yeah yeah I'm gonna let this warm up for a little bit then we can rub it it's warm now so it should be a way quieter on Startup I did also find out some bad news I was trying to flash the car last night to turn the boost up and it seems like whoever had this car before took it to the dealer because the ECU is locked which means that I need to get it sent out to get unlocked like with the Jordan RK tunes on it and then once I put the Jordan RK tunes on it'll probably pick up like another 100 wheel and like another probably 150 foot pounds of torque but um we'll let it warm up for a second and then I'll let you know what this puppy sounds like my God but you want to show this bro I may or may not have gotten I was procrastinating last night I had emails I was supposed to do I was like you know what I really want to start my knuckle development so I did the the ghetto trick to find out how much angle that I could have without the leading wheel hitting stuff this was probably like two inches of toe out and right now like the ackerman's terrible on the car because like the leading Wheels like this and the trailing Wheels like this because I'm basically just cheating the fact of where the tie rod pickup is but this is a good sign because it's quite a bit angle and I'd say this wheel probably has like another 10 degrees more than it can go before it runs into any rubbing issues on the inside and that's if I'm running the factory front wheel but it looks pretty good right yeah it was pretty awesome the problem is when it came out when you tow out did you dangle your trailing wheel isn't going to have that much lock so you get a bunch of scrub which makes the car less fast at Big angle which isn't really a problem for what I'm doing but when I move the tie rod pickups it'll allow me to get a little bit more turn out of that but we still don't want too much because the the Buckle is going to be limiting factor on that side because then it like starts hitting stuff all right this is exhaust flaps closed normal mode but exhaust helps a lot yeah way better than before a little disclaimer I don't have control of the pops or bangs right now I know I'm an anti-crackle pop guide but there's a lot of crackers and pots until I get this thing flashed I'm happy with the sound I think it sounds good the grackle and the pop still gotta go so we'll we'll flash that out when we can obviously the big thing of this car is going to be development learning I really want to get that trans control figured out but I'm not gonna lie it actually works better and automatic than I would have expected next up we got to do the handbrake we're gonna get the trans control figured out and I want to start playing up with the knuckles uh but for now we're gonna go enjoy the car do some celebratory Donuts have some fun oh foreign just makes you sit on your seat yeah dude like I think with the stock suspension and the super grippy tires that it comes with like it is throwing you around I'm glad I figured out how to get the lock seat belt to lock because before it was so hard to drive but it's got like a decent amount of angle right yeah yeah all right you're up once we have the clutch switch hooked up the cool thing is you'll be able to kind of clutch kick the car which will also let you float off throttle because right now it's kind of difficult because the car doesn't catch and you have to like be really committed with a throttle to keep it in boost because it's an automatic so I'm really excited to see how that feels and kind of transforms the drifting experience foreign foreign it makes cars overheat really fast because you don't get any airflow to the front and I'm a little bit curious to see what happens with this but I am planning to upgrade like a heat exchanger in it but that's a great sign if we've just done a bunch of donuts and the temp gauge hasn't even moved that's it Bulls see you soon with the other Supra with four rotor stuff\n"
