Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

Im running the 9 lives wing at 8 AOA and 3/4 gurney flap, so still have more leeway based on flow vis testing

I did the high downforce splitter, hood vent, arch vents, and fenders all at once, so I’ve got no idea.

I suspect it doesn’t make much of a difference. I’d wait for Verus to release their fenders with actual data.

You really don’t want to run the Verus wing past about 12 degrees anyway or you’ll lose a ton of efficiency with detached airflow, and I think just the splitter is fine for that.

I'm curious, has Verus hinted at a set of fenders? Or is that just speculation? Not calling you out, cause I'd assume they'd be making a set sooner rather than later, maybe I just missed it.

I don't think it has been officially announced yet, but it's in the works. Per source(s)

They're the fenders I'm waiting on.

They’ve posted pics on them before and confirmed it via dm and to others as well

As we've all discussed before: Tracking a completely stock Supra S U C K S because of the seat. I can't possibly brace myself in the car enough, with my knees and the dead pedal, to NOT have to hold onto the wheel to keep from moving around in the car. My entire core is sore for three days after LOL. My lap times are telling me I should have done this long ago.
So... I got this. It holds me so well, I theoretically wouldn't even need a belt. Perfect fit, especially compared to the seat I had in my last car (it was honestly just a bit too big).
This is gonna help so much more than any power mod I could have added.

The WRC-R's are awesome. At some point I plan on replacing my cheap ass sparco bucket with one of these.

My last seat was a Sparco Evo US and I liked it, but it was a bit loose fitting, seeing how it's for American chubbies LOL. I tested this seat at Wine Country and I was like "aaaahhhh". LOL. It fits PERFECTLY and I think I could easily drive 3hrs to a track day in it. It was TOUGH not to go with a Sprint or something for half the price.. but I JUST drove from Fresno to Sonoma, so the trip was fresh in my head. I knew I'd want something better. I'm sure you have a better model than a Sprint, so it's no quite so barbaric. ?

I have been happy w my Sparco. Have an old Sparco sprint shell I am going to install in the right space now. Get too many requests for rides not to have a passenger seat. Trying to figure a quick way to take in and out but the belts will make that hard

They have Wine Country in CA also, ? That makes sense by the name. I thought it was a high price Sebring track store ??‍. Congrats with the seat. I’d be all in if it wasn’t for all the fault codes I’d be afraid of throwing. I’m still at the keep my 3rd windshield from breaking stage (damn paper thin things nowadays ?). Let us know how it goes!

It's at Sonoma Raceway, but only average price LOL. Fault codes are programmed out, so no worries there. I just can't drive the car comfortably with the OEM seat and a helmet. I give up. ?

What Brake Fluid and Differential Fluid is everyone using???

Haven't changed my diff fluid yet (although I prob should after 17k miles and 4 track days), but I used RBF 650 and 700, both have been great

Any DOT4 fluid is a great improvement over DOT 3. If you want the highest temp fluid for tracking, Castrol SRF has the highest wet temp. Thus can wait the longest interval (2 years) to change your brake fluid. Since brake fluid is so hydroscopic (water loving) it doesn’t take long to reach wet temps for any brake fluid. If mainly in town driving, you won’t be doing repeated threshold braking. If going to track her more, you can bleed the fluid to keep it on the higher temp side.

Castrol SRF has an insane wet temp. So bottom line, I switched to that. Our other street cars, I use ATE (former super blue) DOT4, it’s cheaper and change it every 2 years.

OEM is DOT4 as well, just fyi.

I personally run Endless fluid.

I’m at 6k miles, mainly track. Any recommendations on diff fluid?
