Not sure if anyone who has converted their car to purely track may have theirs available?
My dad has misplaced his, from his car and wanted to see if anyone might have their lying around?
Happy to pay for it plus shipping to Phoenix.
Pm or reply here please.
Best Regards,
Dave
I still think my homemade version looks better than most of those... and the problem is... once you do fix the wind buffeting noise with the windows down... it will create a wind buffeting noise with the windows up! (you have to listen closely but it does unfortunately).

Yeah, I could never wait that long... just torture on an Engine IMO, but that the standard for BMW. I like to always drain the factory fill at 500 miles... just old school I guess. And then I do it at 3K and then every 3K afterwards. I do 5K on my 'daily drivers' but not my sports cars...
I actually used a trick from the GT3, where you buy a wiper blade, and use the 'angled portion' connected the pillar next to mirror... looks 'almost' OEM... but the issue with adding the wind buffet 'fix'... which it does fix when the windows are down... BUT unfortunately... then you can hear...
Thanks! Ok... I'll do one more on my own then... and then have them do it. But also you've helped me, as it doesn't hurt for me to ask if they'll do it earliier. ;)
Cheers,
Dave
Does this mean with 'Toyota Care' our first oil changes are free? Or is it still charged by them? I changed it myself at 500 miles... but would consider the dealer at 3K if it were free and documented that way. Although I'm Auto-xing the car... so immediately switched to Mobil 1 0w40 Euro...
Who’s front car did you go with? What size was it?
Congrats on the install! In the scca class we run in, we can only change one bar, front or rear, but but both.
Best regards,
Dave
I didn't weight them 'dismounted'... I will do that in the next couple of weeks. The OEM wheels are very light. These are approximately 4lbs lighter than the front and 5lbs lighter than the rear from memory... but I'll dismount and weigh just the wheels over the holidays.

As I'm getting the 2020 Supra ready for SCCA B-Street, the new BC-Forged wheels arrived today!
18x9 Front weighing 18.6 lbs
18x10 Rear 19.5 lbs
Couldn't have been more impressed with the quality of the wheels, and how light they turned out!
Running 265/35/19 Yokohama Advan A052 Front...
Hey guys, I saw this car last week while I was getting some 18" Tires/wheels mounted on my Supra for SCCA B-Street... I assumed it was getting loaded up to goto SEMA, however haven't seen any images posted yet?
Apologies for the pic quality... they were 'just loading it up' as I was pulling in...
I honestly think the car will benefit even greater with both. However for the SCCA BS (B-Street) class we can only change 'one bar'... front or rear.
The front bar definitely made a noticeable improvement.

Hi guys,
I’m hoping someone who may have done aftermarket coilovers may have their stock shocks laying around.
Looking to buy a complete set, or borrow/trade a set... so I can send them off to get custom valved and then will send my oem back to original owner if they want there take offs back...
Love it! Really assisted in flattening out the car! I was just autoxing this morning, and car is significantly improved! Still needs stiffer shocks imo, but the bar is a huge plus!

good idea on grease and Teflon tape. I just radiused the bushings slightly with sandpaper since they weren’t poly. If they were poly I’d have greased them. But I’ll check for any binding in the next few hundred miles and may do just as you recommended.
Best regards,
Dave
