Just commenting on my experience, but I wouldn’t get an APR wing again. I bought the GTC-500 and it looks fabulous at first, but in my case the finish got beaten to hell and it looked awful after about a year. I do track my car a lot, so maybe it’s more vulnerable to stone chips than a car which...

I hadn’t heard of them, but I’ll give them a call. Thank you!

Not nearly enough, about 35,000 miles.

Thanks very much guys, I’m going to do some research on the way forward and see what can be done if a new engine is going to be cost prohibitive. I appreciate the feedback.

I here what you’re saying about diagnosing the problem, but I’ve been told by a couple of people I trust that one you’ve got a lot of metal inside the engine it doesn’t really matter what the issue was, the result is going to be the same: replace the engine. I could certainly pay to have it done...

I’ve recently wrecked the engine on my 2020 Supra (two port) and am in need of another one. Before anyone asks, the oil pressure light came on and though I pulled over as soon as I could safely do it, the damage was done. when the oil was drained it was very “glittery”. My mechanic, who I trust...

I also upgraded the fluid and anyone tracking their car should. I’ve used Motul, Castrol and now Endless fluid, but if there’s a difference I can’t tell. I’ve used R10/R12 on the rear brakes, but I’ve been using the R16 for my last few cars that I’ve tracked (C7 Vette and Giulia Quad, as well...

The stock brakes on this car are a major disappointment. I track my car pretty regularly and even with G-Loc R16s the brakes were not nearly as impressive as they should be. AP Racing (who has a great reputation) does make a BBK for this car, but it’s very expensive and I just couldn’t justify...

There is always a reason to wait. Next year’s car, iPhone, mattress, etc. will all be better/different/more refined versions of what’s out this year. I knew that when I bought my A90 and the A91 specs had already been announced, but I’ve had a couple of the best summers ever in that car and I’m...

I’ve made a significant number of changes to the car that have made improvements over the stock car, but if I had to pick the most substantial upgrade it’s got to be the front brake calipers. I really found the stock brakes pretty disappointing, even with much more aggressive pads, but I bought...

I didn’t bother following up with anyone other than my local tuner. I couldn’t find anyone else who seemed to be having the same problem with this tune at the time, so I assumed it was a cooling issue. I threw some money at it in the form of Koyo rads and a meth injection system which I just ran...

I agree, I also had no problems when the car was stock, but I just couldn’t leave it alone. ?

So, here’s the latest and I apologize for not posting this at the end of last summer. I was continuing to have issues at each track day until my tuner reached out to me and told me there was potentially some sort of fuel shut-off issue, but if I just ran with a full tank all the time I shouldn’t...

I’m honestly not sure. I haven’t had the chance to log anything at the track and I obviously can’t reproduce these issues at home. I’m going again in a couple of weeks and will get it done at that point. There’s lots of good advice here that I’m grateful for and appreciate, but I clearly just...

I know heat seems like the obvious culprit, but the temps never really got that high. I’ve got a heat exchanger in the mail and I have a guy who is willing to fabricate an intercooler, however it’s getting hard to convince my wife that I need to drop off the car every week for an oil change. We...

I’ve sent an email to my tuner to see if they’ve had any other complaints and whether they have a solution in mind. I may also give Ecutek a look. I just wanted the easiest way to make some extra horsepower for the track, but when you pay 100% to be there and only get to drive for 25-50% of the...

I also posted this under the ECU thread, so I’m hoping someone (maybe BootMod themselves) will chime in with something. I was comfortable effectively voiding my warranty because BM3 has a good reputation, but I’ll admit to being concerned/irritated at the moment.

I didn’t scan it as I’d left it at home, so I’ve got nothing on this I’m afraid.

*I have posted this under the track thread as well, but I thought this may be another spot to get some advice. Apologies for spamming the forum. It was a gorgeous 90 degree day at CTMP just outside Toronto yesterday, and being at the track is always a blast. That said, I’ve had trouble the...

Not that I noticed and I feel like I was paying attention. No codes of any sort that I saw.
