You have to do it each time the car is power cycled which is kind of annoying, but I just do it as part of my "in grid" routine when turning on garmin/data, etc.
You can pull it over OBD2 as well via something like an MXLink+, or your tuning software (MHD, Bootmod, etc), but this is free and OEM.
The dashboard can display oil and coolant temp in C if you long hold the trip odometer button until the menu comes up, then go to unlock. The code is the sum of the last 6 digits of your VIN #. Then go to Temperature in the menu.
My usual post track day maintenance is a nut and bolt check of the suspension (paint pens are helpful too), check rotors for cracks and thickness, and check pads. I change oil every ~4 hours of track time or 3 events. Check for bind in the suspension and I have the car aligned every 2-3 events...
Tbh I didn’t read through all 9 pages just the first post and I listed what I thought were considered relevant mods so hope that was okay.
@zackarybyrd it’s showing you mentioned me in my notifications but I don’t see a reply, if I missed anything let me know.
I'm not going to make a post for each of my lap times, and to avoid clutter here is my youtube with all of the videos. https://www.youtube.com/@BenBulthuis
Car is a 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0, relevant mods are: Eibach sway bars, Verus camber plates, SPL end links, CSG C21/C11 brake pads, SRF fluid...
Yeah, I'm really wishing I had gone with MHD right now. Unfortunately I would have to send my ECU back to Finland again. Definitely curious on your experience when you have switched.
Will you be self tuning again?
Learned this weekend that 22psi is definitely too much for the stock turbo especially in upper 80s ambient temps. I saw 243F coolant, 296F oil, and 148F IATs, even with the Verus oil cooler and a Wagner manifold.
After setting a boost max of 19 psi in BM3, temps dropped 10+ degrees on both...
Has anyone had any issues with the Bootmod3 dashboard locking up/freezing? The app still works but the gauges stop updating data. I disabled Bluetooth and made sure all of the phone connectivity was disabled in the car but it still happened.
I am dealing with some heat issues and I am trying...
I don’t left foot brake. I have been learning on the street and on the sim but I haven’t built the granularity and muscle memory up enough to feel comfortable on track. And I have stock dampers so having a bit of “delay” baked into the inputs gives the car some time to settle too. I’d eventually...
You should be fine over the course of a session. If you do experience any fuel issues just keep it topped up. Barber is really fun, what a great track for the first track day in the Supra.
We moved here in 2018. I really like the area. I actually haven’t done too much with the local clubs, I usually do track stuff with Gridlife or SCCA TT and I do autocross down at ZMAX Dragway with CCR SCCA. But I’ve done a few NCCAR events with Triad I believe.
