Mounting APEX pro.
APEX pro is data acquisition device to indicate if a driver is using full traction on the track. However, mounting it in Supra /w my requirements wasn't trivial. So I had to make my own contraption.
Started /w design on pen & paper then moved onto CAD to make this. And...
Trying to minimize mod. For me to consider mod in this car is,
- Can the mod be undone and return to stock.
- Will it protect car? - mostly cosmetic.
- Will it stabilize car during track use?
- Will it make this car safer? - track & street
- Will it improve my driving skill? - track & street...
I just happened to see Asphalt Burning.
As a movie, not much to say since mom said, "Don't talk about it if you have anything nice to say about it." However, it does feature Supra MKV and Nurburgring. ;)
Post up if you saw Supra MKV in a movie and perhaps short review! :)
I wouldn't mind upcoming Sunday, 1/24, at same place. looking at the forecast, there might be few snow/shower in between but nothing 'til this Sunday. Also, with recent showers, a lot of salt on the road is washed. Permitting weather, both Sunday is fine for me but I'd prefer this Sunday. ;)

@KillxPoint spent great effort documenting and I think that's what gave him "success" if you can call that. - for me, success should've been he is enjoying his supra without having to report this problem. I believe he took video whether he expected issue or not since this was intermittent in...
One more thing I'd add to that is, "Bring Dramamine and take it few hours before going up the Dragon". I've seen even driver not able to hold his Reverse Flowing Stomach. ;)
However, it's a fun drive!
I agree with you.
for a light comparison, such as "which car can get you to grocery and back?", may be.. However, characteristic of 2 cars are not quite compatible to compare. both car excels in their own arena.
if I had to chose between which one to get grocery? I will chose Supra since...
