?? Data on stuff like this is hard to find.

While doing HPDE, time attack, etc. is a Verus heat shield going to make any difference once everything under the hood is all warmed up or does it heat soak along with everything else? I have my favorite coating I can add to the turbo-facing side. ..... But I only want to do all this if it's...

See below. At the very least a decent set of toe plates will work wonders. If you have adjustable front/rear camber and want to DIY, you can get creative with a piece of flat iron and a magnetic angle finder.

I can't believe they did it with a torque converter. Of course. Like I said, we've all said the same. We get it.

I'm all stock with a bit of front camber added and zero toe up front. I haven't had to touch any parts on the rear yet, so whatever it comes from Toyota with. The car likes to get out of shape, but not to the point where I feel threatened; it goes right back when I tell it. Still, I know I'm...

That had a lot to do with it. It's overwhelming. I go for weeks without driving the Supra, so I kind of neglect it and forget about it. I keep my charger pretty clean, though. My daily also suffers. Worse than the Supra ?

I think we're confused because these cars love getting sideways off throttle, on throttle, and if carrying too much speed through high speed turns. I have video from yesterday showing me correcting the car for an entire lap. We're wondering how you keep yours so stable. ?

So, which is it?

Most dealerships try to convince people that doing their own maintenance will void the warranty, so they usually do what they can to prevent dealing with a potentially sticky situation. Plus, it's tempting to let someone else take care of maintenance so you don't have to do everything, all the...

That's definitely not how I'd describe these cars. ?

Yeah. I'd be concerned. I don't mess with my engines. Especially by adding stuff I know nothing about.

100% of us used to say the same until we drove a *good* AT. And almost 100% of us still own a MT car for the reasons you mention. Just not THIS car.

I feel bad. Bought mine May 2022 and still haven't washed it. ?

Won another round of the Bimmer Challenge today, with @Evolution scoring a podium spot in his class ???? We're both ex-Evolution owners, so it's fun to watch the progression of our cars and driving, with the new platform. This puts me in the lead for championship points, which I'm stoked about...

Agreed. We've also been saying the MT in a Supra is for the novelty of shifting only. The car doesn't need a manual nor built for it. It's an afterthought. Which is, of course, great since that's what everyone is after. It scratches the itch just fine. I have a Keurig and a French press at home...

We keep bringing this up, as evidenced by pretty much all race cars now being paddle shift, even on a sequential box, with no lift and auto blip. A manual car is slower any time *ANY SHIFTING* is done. But we still have people here saying a manual can theoretically be as fast in situations that...

They said what??

Aaaaand now I want tacos

I had fun driving in the rain, and all. My problem was how every single session only had a couple of fun laps before some idiot went off course and drug mud all over the track. Once that happens, the session was pretty much over with. Rain is fine, but mud is just asking for an accident.

That kinda rings a bell. Now I have to look. ?
