I just read thru the entire 25 page progress on your car, I love it! Really appreciate you documenting everything about track events and what you have experimented with, and those new seats are awesome. As a motorsport engineer I'm a sucker for data and precision, I love the data setup you have...

Does anyone know how the passenger footwell storage net can be removed? Just pry off with a trim tool?

I get it man but just isn't for me anymore. I spun out once in my GLI on the highway late at night when I was young cuz of trying to prove things to a bmw, I was going let's say very fast around a curve and there was just a little puddle of water I didn't see till I saw it. That was the only...

Teslas, "muscle" cars, pickup trucks, V8 SUVs, CVT WRXs, GTIs/Rs, clapped out 7th hand N54/55 cars always try to race me.. I just cruise along at 1500rpm, no need to prove anything

As title states, has anyone used these subframe bushing inserts from Hardrace? Anyone found polyurethane bushings? Seeking feedback on how they work on the street/fast road. Solid aluminum bushings are too hardcore for my use I had these inserts installed on my B8.5 S4 before and made a...

slammed supras be like

Makes sense, we have slight toe changes thru most of the suspension travel, but towards the extremeties it changes more drastically. And the ones slamming there cars usually hits bump stops fairly often and doesnt help with staying on the road

Coilovers can reduce the amount of suspension travel which help limit bumpsteer by doing that but you are not changing the geometry. S2k, Mx5 and supra all lose toe-in during extension by design for turn-in, but that requires very specific driving style to fully appreciate and may still be...

I was watching one of Misha Chouroudin's earlier videos about Supra alignment (4 years ago), his and along with many others (EU and NA) messaging him saying right rear specifically was off from the factory. I found a few posts in this forum too but mostly about 2020 cars and not many specfically...

A lot of people do 0 toe in the front, generally that gives it more turn in, and if you want even more you go toe out (but will wear tires a bit quicker in combination with negative camber). Toe-in on the front (+ values), is for more straightline stability (but reduces turn-in a little), a bit...

Looks awesome! I want to do the same for my Stratosphere but with silver stitch, there's no Alea installers in Canada so I'll probably tackle this myself, does the OEM heating element need to be sewed to the new covers or do they just sit on the foam? Do you recall if your installer had any...

Looks good, how much camber are you running on this setup? Do you have any rubbing on the liners?

I got the car rerealigned yesterday by a performance shop, one of those that ask what specs you want when you drop the car off. Because I felt the front camber was fishy since it isnt adjustable the, and somehow the dealer was able to change it so much, basically the dealer alignment was not...

Great, now I can check my VIN and see what direction my wife parked in the garage for 10 more years ?

Imo LC500's engine is pretty good, and ofc a nice interior, however it's not much more than a pretty looking big sedan with 2 doors, the fact that it is based on the GA-L platform, which is shared with older JDM Crown (not the new EV), Lexus LS and Toyota Mirai. I think they made great use of...

So short conclusion is: I'm not used to rear wheels right behind my butt, or should I say soft BMW rear subframe bushings right behind my butt, and too focused on driving a new car over potholes. Maybe add in I'm too pick or sensitive:oops: The other Supra and Z4 I drove was about the same, Z4...

Just checked on the door it said 38psi, I will drop to 32psi as shown on the UK cars (thanks for sharing), and then going to go test drive the other 2023 Supra and a Z4, will report back soon!

Wait as seeeccccc. The tire settings menu is showing 39psi recommended. Is it different on yours? Update: just ran out to the garage and checked iDrive is now telling me recommended is 41psi WTF. It was 39psi recommended last night!

It drives straight doesn't pull. I asked a friend of mine who is a very good driver and driven lots of cars to take it for a 2 hour drive in the city, he seems to think it's the tires motions. It's a very fast left and right sway in the rear end that doesnt require steering correction, he called...

Major Update 1: Thanks to everyone's suggestions and 2 alignments later the problem has been largely solved, the little bit of twitchiness remaining is most likely due to soft rear subframe bushings and short wheelbase and wide track + tires. 1. Essentially the car alignment was off from the...
