The part of me that spent a LONG time learning how to rev match and properly heal toe thinks it's cheating! ?
But you're right. I love the ZF8 on track. Amazing transmission.
I just came across this on YouTube, and I figured a lot of people here would appreciate it. No subs which sucks, but a lot of cool Supra stuff.
I really love that wing they put on their Supra and how it bolts/unbolts to a bracket in the bumper. Very clean look.
I live in Central CT, and I work on the shoreline. I see far more Lambos than I do Supras. Porsches and Bimmers are pretty common by my work in Westbrook and Old Saybrook.
Not to mention that I live literally 2 miles from F40 Motorsports which is where they filmed Chasing Classic Cars so I...
That's a good point. When I was searching for a Supra two years ago I got the impression that most of the dealerships near me got 1-5 allocated to them every year.
Watching Jeremy Clarkson review the McLaren P1 sold me on a "performance hybrid".
It's pretty cool how they integrated that tech into F1. I was watching the qualifying at Monaco last night at a friend's house.
You're describing the reason why people put GT3 master cylinders in Caymans. ?
The master cylinder brace more controls over travel of the brake pedal. It basically eliminates the firewall deflection when you really push on the brakes. I suppose it would make the pedal feel tighter at full...
I went with the Project-ÎĽ Clubracer pads, Castrol SRF, and Goodridge stainless lines. So far I am very impressed with the pedal feel, street manors, and heat capacity at the track. The pads definitely needed a 20 minute session to bed in, even after some bedding on the street. Initial bite at...
I am really enjoying the car with the stock struts/springs, SPL goodies, and upgraded sway bars. I also upgraded my pads/lines/fluid and did an MC brace. Feels very OEM+ on the street, and it's a drastic improvement on the track.
Just a good track alignment some rear toe-in and -3 degrees of...
Agree on all points.
The Sport mode also changes quite a bit of transmission behavior. Fully automatic mode is a lot different. Different shift points, holds gears longer, etc. It also seems to make a difference with the shifting speed in Manual mode.
Speaking of that, does anyone use the...
It's important to have high quality hub centric spacers. I'm using Motorsport Hardware 15mm. They are not cheap lol. Jackie Ding and others have used them on track.
They are a temporary solution until I buy coilovers to improve my inboard clearance. My main concern using them over the long...
I drove that friends Tesla a couple of times. What a story about that car. It was a 2018 Model S Performance.
(Long story about his Tesla follows, but I learned a lot from the whole thing looking from the outside in)
My friend waited forever to take delivery of his Model S. Then when he...
That's a great question.
Is it happening in long right handers like how it is often described? It seems that sustained lateral acceleration (lateral g's) are usually what causes it, not a shorter very high g corner.
It could very well be that he's getting more grip from a hotter road...
Yup, running T-R10s with Kuhmo V730s. I haven't had them one-track yet, but I'm already pretty impressed with them on the backroads. First track day with the V730s is June 10th.
That'll work out great ?
I'm currently running 18x10.7 et 38 with 275-35R18 on the stock springs/dampers with SPL parts, F&R swaybars, 15mm spacers all around, and -3.0 degrees of front camber. I didn't want to wait for coilovers, but they are the next mod on my list.
As far as tires, Conti...
Typically you'll see most people who are serious about tracking their car running very close to stock ride height. 10-15 mm lower max. The suspension on our cars don't like much lowering. It will make you slower on track.
