I truly cannot believe it's been 3 years with my Supra. I thought that I would not enjoy a car as much as this one since I initially thought the S2K would be the pinnacle. Car is STILL daily driven and it now has 61k miles. Definitely not a garage queen, it has its battle scars all over the bumper and hood and I do plan on repainting it and going through the entire car to restore it to my standard. Make sure to subscribe to see how else this car changes over time and to join me on my journey to 100k+ miles!

Hey Bro, I think I just passed you on my way back to Tulsa from Texas. I was admiring a super nice silver supra on the oncoming traffic when I realized the car looked exactly like yours lol. If it was you, glad to see you on the road and your ride looks even more amazing in person.

Been watching your videos for a while now, always great and super in-depth! I just picked up my 2020 Supra Launch Edition. Exactly how I wanted it, white on the outside and red on the inside. I remember first watching your videos from a while back on dailying the supra and what kind of mods to get and I'm finally so excited to be part of this platform now. Appreciate you and keep making dope videos.

@@Joolz1982you’ll be fine if you drive and maintain responsibly: oil changes every 3-5,000 miles, synthetic oil, transmission oil every 60k miles, warm up after cold start, cool down after heavy loads, redline only after car is at optimal temp. (Usually 5 minutes after coolant has reached optimal temp. If you don’t have an oil temp gauge fyi), don’t lug, etc. Of course you’ll have other minor wear and tear, but the bones of the engine/transmission/turbo should be good. 👍

Completely agree about the exclusive car, if it's like some crazy Porsche or Ferrari that is extremely rare, then yeah I wouldn't probably pile the miles on it, but if it's a regular production car, you sure as hell know that I will be driving the crap out of it lol hope the channel grows more and allows me to get another car that people wouldn't typically think about driving a lot.

The wind buffeting, to dealing with burning oil right from day one, and constantly having to take it to the dealership because of non stop error codes and limp mode issues to the weak sound system, it was just such a hassle.

@davepaturno4290 6 месяцев назад

I know what you mean about people wanting to race. When I was driving home in my 2024 45th Mikan Blast from the dealership, a guy in a very loud Charger pulled up next to me on the highway, and then blasted off. My car has a dealer-applied temporary plate in the back, so people should know I'm breaking it in. Today, two guys in a Sonata N flew by then slowed down with their windows down so that I'd slowly pass them. Now if I weren't breaking in the engine, I'd probably blast by and then coast back to cruising speed.

@VinceChristmastree 6 месяцев назад

I can't imagine dealing with that with a loud color like the Mikan Blast. Congrats on the purchase! I have yet to see on in person. Those break in miles will fly by quick! Every time I visit my hometown, I always get some random people revving and doing flybys. It gets old lol

@VinceChristmastree Месяц назад

Thanks for watching! I am not a financial advisor by any means as I am just some guy on the internet. I would say is find your footing first financially with your career job so you are not financially strained when moving up to a role that fits more what you're wanting to do with your life. You don't want to be stuck with this type of car and its expenses if you're just working a random job. Even if you find a Supra in the price range you want, that has a reasonable interest rate (if financing), the consumables for this car is pricey. I don't remember if I mentioned it in this video, but a full set of tires for this car can be upwards of almost $1400-1500. The rears only which I change out every year is about $800-900. I would say wait, save up, build a foundation for what you're going to do in your life, then pull the trigger.

No backroads that we can utilize that are plentiful like in the East or PNW. I've read that Advan AD09s or R888s handle well in corners. The R888s are LOUD though and need adequate warming up to really get grip.

Ecutek

@becraftcorey 3 месяца назад

@VinceChristmastree I'm looking at buying one, considering going used, is it true right now only the 20models can be tuned?

@VinceChristmastree 3 месяца назад

Sorry just saw this, only 2020s can be tuned WITHOUT sending the ECU to Femto. 2021s with an ECU date of 6/2020 and over need to have their ECU sent over to be unlocked at a cost. I have a video discussing your tuning options if you do snag a 2021.

@VinceChristmastree 5 месяцев назад

@@87slik There's two routes from there to choose from, something responsive (500-700whp) or a big power street car (700+).

@87slik 5 месяцев назад

@@VinceChristmastree through your professional opinion what would you recommend for the responsive option? (500-700)

@VinceChristmastree 5 месяцев назад

Sorry, just saw this. Not a professional by any means, but from my standpoint as an enthusiast, an aftermarket stock location turbo will be your best bet. Adding port injection and flex fuel will definitely get you there. For 500whp, all you will really need is a downpipe and E50 tune since the stock turbo will get you there. Anything past 550whp, you will need to look into a bigger stock location turbo. To hit 700, you'll need fueling (PI and E70).

would it be smart of me to buy a 2020 3.0 mk5 with 51k miles on it?

@VinceChristmastree 6 месяцев назад

If it is modified, I would proceed with caution unless you know the full history of it. If it is stock, check and make sure it hasn't been returned to stock. I would have a professional mechanic look at it and do diagnostics. The car is reliable, but who knows how the previous owner(s) treated it.

@VinceChristmastree 5 месяцев назад

Mine had some pitting even when I bought it with 6k miles. Guessing it's mainly due to the angle and how low it is in comparison with the rest of the front of the car.

PPF seems like such a waste for me, $5k to do the car when I can respray the car professionally for $3k. Even just the front bumper for my strat blue mk5 was quoted $1100 for PPF when a respray is $400 (I'll have to do the labor and take off the sensors). Just a hard justification in my opinion.

@VinceChristmastree 6 месяцев назад

Agree to disagree. Definitely understand where you're coming from though. Personally, going down this path, I would rather have the original paint and not have downtime to respray the bumper. I'm pretty anal when it comes to the paint so I don't even want to run into the issue of the bumper being a different shade than the car. Right now here's what I have to deal with, either I have to find a replacement bumper ($600-700) or take my front bumper off. I really won't be able to drive the car without the car freaking out so it'll be down for a week or so to get resprayed, which is a no-go considering it's my daily driver. Repainting the bumper requires the paint to cure which is dependent on the temps outside, so 30-90 days. At that point, just with the time and potential downtime, the cost of PPF is justified.

@mresab1997 6 месяцев назад

@Change765 6 месяцев назад

I think ppf is valid, if you only want to protect your front. Genuinely it’s a car on the road and driven a lot.. protecting the whole thing is a waste.. but having your front bumper and carbon fiber secured that’s smart because over time carbon fades from the uv rays so protecting a carbon hood/lip/front bumper is pretty much all you needs don’t go too all our only protect the parts that are revealed the most from the front.
