The OEM wheels look phenomenal, once we get the black paint off of them.
Black wheels, in general, are played out anyway.... But they really hide the features of the OEM wheel.
If I had a place to keep them, I would also be interested ?

Brutal.
I ended up in 3rd place at my last event because my group had an old dude, in a Miata, who refused to do over 75mph and would proudly announce he was only going to point by at three, specific spots on the track. That's great unless you're 8th in line behind him and have to wait until his...
I Tell people this all. The. time. They keep telling me they are too expensive. If only there were a way to let people try them first. They would be instantly sold! Priceless.
You wash your car?
A bit of HPDE advice I'd give after my last event: sign up for an open passing group.
Now that I...
For anytime looking for options:
I have a base model rear brake so running DTC60 front and Carbotech XP10 rear. No complaints.
I have found very few vendors that have the correct part numbers for base model rear brakes. Actually, only one. The rest have it information stating that they are all...
Not sure. I don't generate enough force for a 70 so honestly haven't looked, just assumed they make them. Hopefully vendors catch up soon. We need more options!
I can't wait for Raybestos.
I really want to do an aftermarket DP to let the car breathe and reduce heat... Plus, I'd like to hear the car better. ...But it would bump me up a class.
I'll have to settle for an exhaust. ?
If you are at home and need a family car to run the kid around, wouldn't the wife just take the Supra?
Just saying that if you're willing to work for it, keeping the car and only having one family vehicle should work just fine.
If that's a bit more than you guys want to deal with, then the car...
If you are financially stable and have a second vehicle to use as the family car, why are you thinking about selling? Especially if you may have a third vehicle on the way?
Now that I'm on my lap top, I see you are in SF. I'm in Fresno, not too far. I could try to make it up that way. I only have about half of each day.. so not sure I can make it there and back in time. I'll see if I can figure something out.
Get some of this. It works so well that I once coated the outside of a brake caliper with it, and my vinyl stickers never overheated, Even after about half a dozen track days. The stuff is amazing. I always have a can or two of it on hand. Coat the crap out of the inside of the downpipe, and you...
The picture I posted was with VSC still on. It lets me have plenty of slip and I feel only kicks in when I'm sideways enough that it's slowing me down anyway.
This is the picture. I'm holding the wheel at 9 and 3. Ambient temperature was 90° during this session, so I was drifting every single...
FYI for anyone curious as to the difference of running with and without nannies:
During my first session, I must have accidentally bumped the nanny button because it was intervening on every single exit on every single turn. I could not get any slip angle or power to the ground.
On my second...
I'm honestly waiting for them to bump our cars up to B2. In B3, I'm only allowed a 200 treadwear tire. Other than the stuff that's allowed in all classes, camber plates, brake pads, brake fluid, I haven't touched the car. People keep coming out up to me and asking what I have done to the car...
Pads are working great. SOW CCW has a braking zone that takes you from about 120-125mph down to a 2nd gear turn. I was outbraking my entire group. I finally have a feel for when ABS is about to kick in so have been avoiding that.
What kinda car does your buddy drive that they only make DTC 60...
Semi-related: every time I park my car outside of the garage, it attracts gnats like you wouldn't believe. Like 50 or 100 of them, landing all over the car. If I leave the garage light on at night, they attack there too. After I bought the car, I tried to clay bar it. No luck. When it's outside...
