This guy can’t drive nor explain what the car is doing anyways…. As far as anyone knows, the car is in reverse.

Someone more knowledgeable correct me please if I’m wrong. I see a lot of mentions of spats when referring to arch flaps - as I understand flaps are the plastic covers underside to direct air away from the tire and reduce lift. Aerodynamics: Includes a carbon fiber ducktail spoiler, front...

It's clear these pieces of plastic are designed to eliminate the maximum chance of wind buffeting at any speed... BUT THEY'RE UGLY AF I bet these fugly uglies increase the drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.34 themselves alone.

i think you nailed it - cars are beautiful and fun and sound amazing at one point, i forgot this while chasing lap times and ever-higher goals of motorsport

I remember being asked to show this Toronto doctor around Calabogie in his 1-week old red convertible f430. After a lap, he said he didn’t want to drive. We spent a fun day together where I enjoyed driving his car! Another regret not getting the 458 thereafter!!

That's a definitely a valerate to dipropionate jump in experience! iykyk I always loved the Gallardo and regret not jumping at an opportunity to get the Superleggera when offered.

Maybe the nam3forum and Obioban could make a sub-forum?

I feel for you. The key is made by BMW and has to go through their supply chain. It really is $1000 cad. I had a similar story except that the dealer I purchased my car from did not include the second key which I made sure was in writing and as part of the purchase agreement. The initial quote...

Is there a material that holds up best to use? Thanks!

I believe the toe in of your front might the compromise your tech made causing less caster. I’d suggest 0 toe in and maximizing camber -1.9 (i think -1.9 is the max obtainable) and maximizing caster (i think 7.5 is max obtainable) from stock oem. I think for aggressive street or mild track...

this… hahahah iykyk

Thank you gents. :)

tbh, i don’t know how you do all this intense wrenching yourself plus helping others and still have the passion and the energy to track!! A break is well-earned.

Were the ds2500s provided in brembo big brake kits? I remember using the supplied pads of brembo kit for some light track duty and they were suprising great on street and held up at Tremblant mid summer intense heat after a set of Pagid yellows were finished. I’d like a pad 30% more capable...

Thank you - this is very cool! In my ideal world, I'd have the updated damper settings - Monroe CVSAe damper and its electronically-controlled bypass valve (yellow) from the Deep Dive is very interesting.

If I could redirect this conversation and ask more of your knowledge base... would ISTA updates include changes to the adjustable dampers of the Supra? Would I be correct in thinking that updates to the Final Edition Supra in terms of suspension / dampers be a combination of hardware - changes...

"It's one of the easiest transmissions I have ever done, but I've pulled mostly evo and dsm transmissions." :eek: Normal, mortal humans do not routinely pull transmissions - just in case you wondered how us regular human lived... *respect*!!!!!

Been looking to do the same.. X3 M40i looks appealing!

“new front wheel arch flaps and higher front tyre spats” ^^ these are present in the final edition - a discussion briefly had / ignored in the general thread - and these aero changes are costly on a production basis. I’m wondering how these parts are obtainable - and how the arch flaps are...

1. If you track, be prepared to write off your car. I’ll disagree with others here.. when you’ve shunted off the track at 110 mph and dropped a house downpayment into an addiction, welcome to the club. Imo, the Supra is a cheap car to write off and it’s also a lousy car to start tracking in...
