Your absolutely right that Toyota thoroughly tests their oil they specify, but why does Toyota only spec 0w-20 for the GR86 in the US but in Australia they also spec 5w-20 and 5-w30 for the same car with the same engine? Does oil work differently in Australia then the in the US? Toyota even says...
I have not gotten rid of the GR86 yet but close to it. I can afford it and the cost of the track plus insurance. Between the wife and I we have 4 cars on the road so monthly insurance is close to $500 and we don't have any accidents. I also pay storage costs in the winter for the Supra and GR86...
Exactly. I can safely try different things in a sim without those worries to see what happens when I do X and the consequences are Y. It also shows me that going from a low powered momentum car to a high powered car is much different and how much faster things can get out of control.
When I...
When I was in Germany I would go 110 to 120mph in my E32 (1988 730i) down the Autobahn all the time. One time I buried the needle going over 240kph but the car was pretty floaty so I slowed down.
When I changed the oil I just put in whatever viscosity it called for and whatever was the cheapest...
Thanks for all the replies.
I forgot to mention I built a racing sim (nothing fancy) and I am playing Assetto Corsa and have been trying to get better. I know it's not real life but I think it has helped me out. I have gotten decent at Watkins Glen enough to be comfortable with the track but I...
I tried getting a quote from Hagerty online and I got this "
We're sorry We couldn't qualify you for coverage with us."
I guess I will have to call them.
Track insurance seemed pretty expensive when I looked into it. I already pay almost $500 a month for 4 cars and is one of the reasons why I was thinking of getting rid of the GR86. I will look into Hagerty but are there any insurances that would cover the car for xxxx miles and x number of...
I am most likely getting rid of my GR86 and I have only done 2 track days in it, but would like to continue with at least 2 to 4 days a year if possible. I am worried about something happening to my Supra and of course that is the risks we take. I'm still a novice so sometimes I think the Supra...
Here is your chance to get a gt4 for much cheaper. Asking 185k and is chassis 044

Can you tell me where you got this information? It would be nice if I can look it up when I do oil changes in case they make any updates or changes in the future from what was posted in the OP.
Thanks for this. I will be doing the same thing at some point and it's good to know what is needed to pass inspection.
Can you use the MHD flasher tool to read and reset OBD2 with an app or would I need a different OBD2 scan tool to do all of this?
