  1. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    Whole lotta stuff done Wheels. TE37 18x10.5 +30 295/30/18 CRS Verus AOS Dyno tune (not done yet, still needs to be smoothed out).
  2. Best exhaust systems in the market??

    Update on this. I did indeed swap to the Titan Motorsports titanium exhaust, and it's a lot better than i could've imagined. I was really just going for the lightest dual exit i could find, but imo it sounds excellent (paired with a catless DP, so YMMV). Verus diffuser needed a bit of trimming...
  3. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    It's just a bit cost prohibitive at this point...those Nitrons have been whispering into my ear at night. The BM3 situation is so confusing. I haven't heard a whisper about it from anyone here, or online. Pro Tuning Freaks seem to be going about things like business as usual. But I know it's...
  4. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    So i found a very good local tuner who agreed to sort me out, but it seems like BM3 is down and has been since yesterday....can't request tunes, can't flash etc.. And it's the weekend, so i don't think pro tuning freaks are going to do anything about it. FFS
  5. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    I usually get my tires from pitstop. Matching front and rear tires is not as important as matching the rears and fronts separately, but it's still highly recommended. Different tire brands (and even different models within the same brand) use unique rubber compounds and tread designs. If your...
  6. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    Yeah the timelines are just too tight. I really do appreciate the thought though. For the future (or anytime really), i would take also you up on that as i've seen enough around here to know that you would be an excellent option that i can learn a lot from. But i would never want it as...
  7. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    OEM is plastic, so peace of mind. I do like the extra capacity as well. Yeah I don't know If I should believe him, but It doesn't matter anyway. Was initially supposed to be a in person dyno tune (we had the dyno ready), they we agreed to get a remote tune...like just send us a base map so we...
  8. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    Well i got shafted pretty hard today. It was a mad rush to get everything on today, and the shop was on point. The turbo, coolant tank, wheels, tires, meth tank. But it seem like the tuner, Sameh, has a family emergency and couldn't come through on the tune. The domino effect from that is not...
  9. Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

    Can't imagine ever having to do that. We have 2 tracks here, and each one has several layouts.....and those layouts turn the tracks into very different experiences. Dubai Autodrome is a 15 minute drive from me. Yas Marina is like a little over an hour away. Very convenient.
  10. TBK's Time Attack Build: MK-BRX

    Bit more actually. Yeah front and rear. Almost but not quite double the cost of CRS around here
  11. Toyo Proxes R888R or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for stage 2 tune

    Your Vitour experience is interesting. Tire Rack did an updated track tire comparison and had them come in as the 2nd fastest or something like that. Don't remember the exact details except that they seem to be fast. But like you they also had them a bit slower when averaged out, but still fast...
  12. Toyo Proxes R888R or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for stage 2 tune

    How much of that is due to you (and your setup) being faster with a 275 vs the 275 being better on a 10.5? I don't see a why/how Nankang would be so off on their recommendation for a single use-case tire. I think Im actually going to reach out to them and see what they have to say about this...
  13. Cool me down to take another round

    i think i choose life instead
  14. Toyo Proxes R888R or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for stage 2 tune

    Yeah also depends on your sidewall size. On a 30 (295/30/18) sidewall i don't really want to stretch tbh like i would if i was running a 35 (295/35/18) or maybe even a taller tire
  15. Toyo Proxes R888R or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for stage 2 tune

    100% agree. It does depend on the tire and it's always good to use the manufacturers direction as a reference or guide. It's a bit less helpful when they list a range instead of an ideal size, but some do list the ideal size by wheel width. Nankang list a 10.5" wheel as the ideal width for their...
  16. SUPRA DIFF BRACE

    Already installed the brace a while back. Haven't experienced any incremental NVH
  17. Cool me down to take another round

    There are much better ones out there. The shop 3D printed a very basic one for me. Something like this: https://cults3d.com/es/modelo-3d/variado/toyota-a90-supra-cold-air-intake-duct?srsltid=AfmBOorpbIoHvwtiOqNSyCYRbqZToUAZ-OxJBoFaU2DzfedjY5h_ohop + mesh cover
  18. Cool me down to take another round

    Dubai is def a different ballgame. That said, for me personally, my car is being built to be a time attack tool, not an endurance one. So i'm rarely out there for more than 8-9 laps before coming back in, and those laps would look something like this: 2 warm up laps, 3 hard laps, 2 cool down...
