Have not, don’t know anyone who has, but probably not needed for the sort of performance that we ask from the rear brakes.Killer deal on Facebook Marketplace popped up and I had to take it.

You are correct, pre brake coding, it's hard to even get heat into the rear brake pads.Have not, don’t know anyone who has, but probably not needed for the sort of performance that we ask from the rear brakes.
unless you are the guy with a V8 swap competing on the Nurburgring.
let’s see if the more knowledgeable disagree
Anymore images of your car with those wheels. Like the wheels and the wheel colour.Been traveling a lot for work and spent some time in Japan. Did an initial D drive on Hakone touge and the local employees were blown away when I told them I had a manual Supra. They were under the impression American's only buy automatics- it didn't help that I rented an R35 for the drive (it was the only car I've never driven out of the available lineup).
Anyways got to finally have a weekend with my baby now that I am stateside again.
Really love this car
- Washed it.
- Kicked the clutch.
- Rowed through the gears on some back roads.
- Raced a CT5-V (these are cool cars if only the non blackwings came manual)

lovely. Just came from Japan. Our car is a rarity there. Also went to Daikoku in a Skyline -driven by a young kid - when I told him I drove a Supra and show him pictures he was truly amazed and wanted to see my IG.Been traveling a lot for work and spent some time in Japan.

What company did you use in Hakone? I did something like that in 2018 - booked last minute so had to drive an Evo X dct. “Tour guide” or whatever you’d call it Yoshi-san was in an older modded Legacy wagon absolutely hauling ass as long the group could keep up.Been traveling a lot for work and spent some time in Japan.
