Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[AndyK5]

Thx pal! I can’t remember and running to work. Are those the ones to get, club sports? Highest heat tolerance from them. Similar to Hawk DTC 70 or 80? Asking and I still have 2 sets of DTC 60/30s ? But can never have too many brake pads

I also said fock it and changed the rotors as well. They sat off season in salty SW FL, did a full double duty with wife same weekend and rotors are cheap (relative speaking on rockauto). So now with new pads, rotors, fluid and rubber ?- I’m dying to get out there in Dec!!!!!! Have a full day at Sebring Dec 8th. No run groups. Just in and out as much as you like. Then regular weekend run with Chin Motorsports. 3 day in a row of bliss ?

Project Mu Club sports are the ones that @razorlab has been uber strongly suggesting. Unfortunately they have been out of stock for a while and I had to pivot the DCT 60s. They have been great and reasonably quiet on the street but interestingly after the 4th track day they started to squeak like a mad man on the streets both front and rear. Maybe they need to be bed in again, possibly the transferred pad had scrubbed off with street driving. I had to put the stock ones back on until next Friday.

Club Racer ?

Track wheels, TPMS or not?

How does not having TPMS affect pressures lower than 24psi popping traction control back on?


Do I have to deal with car sounding the bmw gong and throw a message/caution because no TPMS?

 

[Rocksandblues]

Took mine out. But plenty of people use them and just deal with alerts and or reprogram the accepted range

I took mine out. One less thing to have to worry about while driving to grid.

You get a TPMS error but it doesn't affect anything.

As an aside, I have it on my list to figure out how to code out TPMS this winter.

No code, you just get the TPMS light on the gauge cluster and that annoying msg/gong on the entertainment unit.

TPMS light:

And you could go into limp mode if the car is unhappy enough.

Not following. What do you mean? I have had my TPMS out all this season, over 20 events. No limp mode.

I used TPMS, jsut to have and idea how temps and pressues elevante during the session. Sure the message pop out but I just turn it off again.

Can do that or I just reset them one time, typically when going to get gas. I‘m cheap and don’t purchase trackside.

Haha same ?

For those of you who didn't throw all the SPL/Vorshlag goodies on all at once, which arms did you see the biggest improvement overall?

I have a set of coilovers on order and already have a front swaybar on the car. From what I've read it seems like rear toe links and rear traction links seem to be the best step forward other than front LCAs. Albeit my coils will come with top hats so I'll probably forego the LCAs for the time being.

My front rotors are finally donezo. 27k miles and a lot of track days.

Currently looking at DBA slotted which are very similar in price (for me) to the FCP-Euro zimmerman rotors.
