That's some serious BS. I can't stand service departments that seem to think they own your car, not you. I've had some really bad luck with the service department of all three of the Toyota dealerships in my area, even when the car was bone stock. Highlights include: Rescheduling 3X times at...

The Soviets tried this without much luck in the VAZ and the ZAZ lol.

Really impressive thread! I've got new pads and fluid inbound based on this data.

At a HPDE last year.

That thread is a very impressive collection of knowledge that I plan to fully exploit lol.

In September of 2019 I went to my local Toyota dealership to look at the new Supra. At the time I was daily driving a Volvo V60 Polestar and had a 987.1 Cayman as my weekend/fun car. I am a mechanical engineer, and I admit, I have some pretty severe OCD about some things. When I read that the...

That's good advice. Honestly I'm really more interested in spending my money on seat time with an instructor, but I've pretty much reached the limit of the car on stock tires. During my last HPDE I really cooked the brakes and tires. I'm currently purchasing items to run upgraded...

Dang! I'm really hoping to get 5-10 track days in this summer. It looks like these would have enough life to where I could get away with one set. I'm still not too concerned with my times just yet. I am monitoring them, however I'm still just learning the car and the tracks around me. ETA...

I've always had really good luck with Motul, but I've certainly seen the Castrol discussed a lot here. I have Motul in my car now, I'll likely flush again when I swap in the Project-µ pads. Is there something I should know about Motul, or is it more of a preference? Just curious. I'll...

Great to know, thank you for steering me clear. I've only ever purchased their items through a 3rd party.

I was looking at buying the single adjustable through Vorshlag with their camber plates. Where did you buy yours?

Purchased Project-µ F&R Clubsport Pads and a Verus MC Brace. I will be purchasing the new forged SM-10RS 18x10 ET30 in the Apex Group Buy and the 275x40R18 Nankang CR-S tires from Phils. I'm also looking at just what SPL parts I really should use with the MCS coilovers. I don't think I need...

Seems like I'm a few hours away from you, but it should make for inexpensive shipping. Thanks for the heads up. I'm reading your build thread now.

Razorlab, I really appreciate your response. Like DarkZupra and Rocksandblues, I have spent a lot of time reading your posts and following your build. I live in Central Connecticut. I did a track day last year at Thompson with SCDA with John Gagne instructing me. I had a great time! I...

That's great advice. I want to be very careful about what I do to the car. I'm willing to spend the money to do things the right way the first time. I'm leery about coilovers from past experiences, but I know MCS are great dampers and will work well for the occasional commute and road trip...

Thank you for replying! I have read several of your posts in the 2 years I've been lurking here. Love your Supra BTW. It sounds like AMX is the right way to go.

Hello, I own a 2020 3.0 Premium, and I live within ~1 hour of three great tracks (Lime Rock, Palmer, Thompson). I have been daily driving my car for just about 2 years, and I am going to be retiring the car from those duties soon. I'm not looking to ruin the car for street driving as I want...

Horrific service experiences from the three Toyota dealerships I've used in CT. I seriously doubt it's going to be any better in MA. They just don't have a clue when it comes to these cars. I'm looking for a good indy shop in my area for my 20k service and brake fluid flush. I'm not bringing...
