- All right, guys. The wheels are finally here.
I have had to wait a long time. It's been about four months.
So, when you guys are waiting on wheels and stuff,
know it's not just you.
There's material shortages and everything like that,
but I couldn't be more excited to show you guys,
but not only you guys.
I'm gonna show the guys at Fitment too.
So, me and Max are gonna take these in right now,
and we're gonna reveal them for the first time.
I haven't seen him. Nobody has seen them.
I'm so excited. We did some custom finishes.
I will give you guys that they are 3 piece.
We'll check them out.
(handle clicking)
I used to use these when I worked at Walmart, but alrighty.
Let's get into this.
Top of the morning.
Top of the morning, top of the morning.
I hope these are the rear cause those are 19 x 11 +30.
So, kind of spicy.
Another box!
Woo!
Heritage, shout out to Heritage Wheels.
So, that's the next piece of info you guys get.
I'm nervous. I'm shaking.
There's so many flaps.
Ooh!
I think these are the fronts,
which are 18 x 9 1/2.
It has an illusion cherry face,
and then gloss black lip and satin black hardware.
Check that puppy out.
Hell yeah.
So, again, these are the fronts.
The rears will be a little bit wider,
but we're gonna get the fat Michelin's mounted
on these puppies.
And then, I suppose I need to do an official wheel slap.
I'll try doing it just by myself.
(metal clangs)
There's some plastic on there. All right.
But, dope. All right, Max.
Let's head over to the right side
and get these puppies mounted.
(hip hop music)
All right. Again, these are the Heritage Ultimas.
So, they are 19 x 9 1/2 +17 in the front,
and then 19 x 11 +30 in the rear.
I went with the beautiful,
which Heritage did a fantastic job
on the illusion cherry face.
We have the satin black hardware here,
and then a gloss black lip.
I thought this was gonna look super cool,
something a little bit different than what I did,
but the illusion cherry is so cool.
It's a little bit dark in here so the color is very dark,
but once these suckers are out in the sun,
the sparkle is just insane.
Then, pairing them with these Michelin Pilot Sport 4S,
I went with a 255 in the front, 255/30,
and then in the rears of 295/30.
The reason I went with 295s
instead of 305s is because I really wanted
to do 305s was the 19 x 11s.
Those are all mounted up already.
This is a 19 x 9 1/2,
but to just give a little tiny bit extra space.
As you'll see here, they're still pretty meaty,
which is great because these tires are perfect
for on-road summer use, wet and dry conditions.
But not only that, occasional track use is perfectly fine
on these too.
So, the main point of the Supra build
is I wanna do something pretty functional.
I want to able to use the car.
It's making pretty decent horsepower.
And now, it's not like the craziest horsepower
or anything like that, but it's the fastest car I've owned.
So, I didn't wanna completely stance it out
or anything like that.
I went with a little bit sportier, 3 piece wheel,
kind of have the mesh face going,
but it's still, I don't know.
It looks aggressive and track-inspired,
I think, is what I was going for.
But, I'm so excited to get these on.
Then, hopefully, we'll be hooking up
and really putting that power down.
The tires are mounted. They're ready to go on the car.
So, we're gonna take these stock ones off.
Shout out to Dale for letting me borrow his rear ones
because mine have screws in them.
I'm excited to get these on
and hopefully get some good traction out of them.
Let's get into it.
(hip hop music)
(sticker ripping)
(hip hop music)
(torque wrench cranking)
( hip hop music)
(upbeat music)
Everyone keeps asking me,
"Dakota, when are you gonna big the Supra?
When are you gonna air it out?
Where's the air suspension?"
Well, today, we're gonna install the coilovers.
(upbeat music)
All right.
So, you probably have a ton of questions.
"Dakota, why are you ecstatic? Why are you going coilovers?
This is against everything you've ever believed in."
Well, there's a bunch of reasons,
and I'll go through that in the entire video.
But, one thing about Fortune Auto is I've ran them
in my Evo 10.
I ran them in my Focus ST before I got the bigs,
and I've had insane luck with them.
They have been amazing. It's not even luck at this point.
They're just great coilovers.
Each one is built by hand and checked.
You even get this Certificate of Assembly.
- You can frame this. - That's wild.
Yeah. For real.
You get sticker, You get spanner wrenches,
all that good stuff.
But, I don't cross my Focus ST. I took it to the drag strip.
I did some spirited driving, and these handled amazing.
My Evo 10, name of the game was slam it
to the ground and just scrape frame.
That's all I wanted to do with it.
And, they did fantastic at that.
Even with the car being an inch off the ground,
it felt good.
It wasn't spine breaking.
These coilovers are fantastic. They're rebuildable.
And, they're built by hand the first time.
There's a bunch of good things.
- Kenny L.
- Shout out to Kenny L. from Fortune Auto
for making my coilovers.
I appreciate it.
- They look great, Kenny.
- There is some interesting stuff with the Supra
that we gotta dive into here like cancellers.
Fancy, new cars have this thing,
electronic dampening, stuff like that.
Well, when you install coilovers,
and you don't have anything to plug into...
- Don't do that. I don't want it.
- It goes into limp mode.
And, yeah. It's like-
(Dakota gargles)
So, I've got two cancellers that you plug in,
and we'll deal with that.
I've never installed them before.
Gel's never installed them before. So, we'll check it out.
Let's get it.
(ratchet cranks)
(hip hop music)
- Toyota.
- [Gels] Key!
- Your BMW is showing.
So, when you take a look at this silly stuff,
we got this
15mm
E-Torx
bit that you gotta get off.
- Which would be fine cause they make Torx bit
like E-sockets.
The problem is they only make them in even numbers.
So, 10,
12,
14,
- [Dakota] 16.
- 16.
- But, this is 15. Nobody has it.
I contacted everyone I know,
and I searched this entire shop.
So, what we're doing is we're using a 16mm,
kind of like 12 point universal socket
that fits on there nice and good.
I just wanna give a shout out to-
Let me see, who is our-
This is Speed Industry. Shout out to them.
I YouTube'd it, and they had the answer.
I was like, "Well, I guess we'll keep the stock suspension."
Psyche!
We'll get it for you, man.
No need to squeeze wheel boxes and loose tires
into your car just to drive around
and spend even more money
for them to get mounted and balanced.
(plastic crackles)
Hey!
Make sure to check out our wheel and tire packages.
And not only that, you can save on mounting and balancing.
Not only that, but we got free shipping too!
Get to work! What are you doing?
Get out, get out. Come on now!
(upbeat indie music)
- I haven't drank water in 10 years.
- [Dakota] What do you drink?

- So, this has been a mother (beep), to say the least.
Holy (beep).
This bolt here
for the lower control arm was the biggest nightmare
to get back in.
I wanna tell you guys.
We spent one hour, at least,
trying to get this bolt back in,
and everyone else that I could find just cut past this part,
or says, "Just put the bolt back in. Bolt her up.
It's all good."
No, it's not. It's not good to go.
It's not just putting the bolt back in.
If you do this, our remedy was was we got this.
You could use a jack as well, but this...
- No, don't. You can't.
We tried the jack.
- But, we never tried pushing on the outside while doing it.
And, I got it to a similar spot.
So, we use this cause we're on a lift,
but you could use a jack.
Get it on the lower control arm, or the actual knuckle too.
There's a nipple on the bottom of the knuckle
that you can get on.
And then, Gels was using all of Gel's might
by pushing on the hub while I tried ramming that bolt
through until it finally did.
- [Gels] Yes.
- It was just a nightmare.
But, we got it, we got it.
Got 'er, otter.
(indie music)
Okay.
So, the rears are in button up.
It really wasn't too bad except for that one bolt
that we really struggled with.
We got the cancellers in.
They're tucked away. They're zip tied.
The wires are all out of the way,
and now, it's time to hop into the front.
(indie music)
(hip hop music)
- Give it up for hour 16! Hour 16, everybody!
Woo, let's go!
Hour 16!
(hip hop music)
(both imitate baby crying)
- That's what I feel like doing right now.
Holy...
- Whaa!
Mommy!
(hip hop music)
- Okay. So, we ran into a little bit of a boo-boo.
We're almost done. We're so close.
We're installing the last strut.
And, we noticed on this side that one
of the factory ride height sensors is here.
We knew that we had to really push down and pry this down
to get the strut out.
We were trying to play around with a teen
if we could just detach it so that way,
when we're yanking on it, good to go.
Well, it cracked.
Now, the ride height sensor is broken.
All right.
We're gonna get this wrapped up.
We're gonna get this last strut in.
Hopefully, we can superglue that bracket
just so I can make it home.
And, we'll catch you guys tomorrow
when the car is on the ground.
So, the coilovers are in, and it rides phenomenal.
I've been driving on it for a few days here,
and the Fortune Autos in here ride so damn good.
But, now that the springs have settled
and I can see a little bit more where the ride height is at,
I definitely wanna lower the front some more
cause I still got a two finger gap or so in the front.
The rears, however, they're pretty much perfect.
I might raise them just a hair, just a hair,
and then I'll siphon them up a little bit
cause every once in a while on a bump or a hard turn,
I'll rub on this inner fender liner.
And, I wanna be able to beat on the car and still have fun.
So, I might raise it just a touch in the rear,
but overall I'm super happy with them.
The install went great for the most part,
except for just a couple of bolts that were a pain
in the (beep) to get back in or take out.
But, me and Gels powered through it. We got it done.
They're installed. The wheels look phenomenal.
The coilovers look phenomenal.
So now, you're wondering why didn't I go air ride?
That's a good question.
With this car, I really, like I said,
just wanna be able to beat on it.
I wanna beat the Hell out of it, and I wanna enjoy it.
Not only that, but I did enough drilling
into this car already.
I already got the holes in the trunk and stuff,
and I didn't feel like taking up this whole real estate
in the back with an air ride set up just yet.
I really just wanna keep the car the way it is,
enjoy it the way it is,
and not worry about airlines and things like that.
I had great success with air ride.
It worked phenomenally for me.
My Focus and my GTI had it for years and years.
And, I never had an issue.
However, with this car just like my Focus, and my Evo I had,
I started off with Fortune Auto coilovers,
and that's how I wanna run the car for now.
Will it change in the future? Who knows?
I'm loving these Fortune Autos right now
so I don't expect to change them.
But, as of right now, I just don't wanna do a trunk set up,
run all the lines, and drill holes in the carpet.
I'm just not feeling that yet with this car.
I think the coilovers look phenomenal
at the height they're at
with the front lower just a little bit more.
I'm gonna be really happy with it,
but let me know in the comments what you guys think.
I'm gonna read every single one.
Coils or air? Drop it below!
I wanna get heated. I wanna talk about it.
Let's go, baby!
Let's go!
