I just put mine at a height I could get the car under and still reach. My wheels and tires are all 18x10.5 with 275 tires or the OEM Supra wheels. None are too heavy to not lift overhead. I do admit I sometimes find myself worrying about the lag bolts pulling from the studs (I know, I know.. but...
Sonoma. I got four laps to learn the track, the car, and get a hot lap in.
Even tougher because there was a guy in our group running 23 seconds slower than everyone else, so we kept having to lap him.
Ran another round of the CSF Bimmer Challenge today.
Only got one session in due to others' accidents and failures.
Had to settle for 3rd. Not bad considering just the one session during the hottest part of the weekend. ,????
Yes, I was faster than all these cars. ?
Naw. Adding black parts makes the car look like a salvage rebuild waiting for paint. The parts don't save any weight. It's no bueno. A step above the kid that pulls any part they can to spray paint it a different color because he/she desperately wants to mod SOMETHING. ?

Where are you seeing that?
Having cut my teeth on road racing in an integra type R, I can vouch for how fun they are to drive and how fast they can be.
A good front wheel drive car will embarrass lots of other cars. It doesn't care which end is driving the wheels.
I think the problem is most...
If I knew a bunch of people that had one, that would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I don't know of any people in my area, that go to my race tracks, that run them.

I'm not into mods that don't make a car faster... but that is a seriously essential upgrade. I had no idea the mirrors look like that under the caps. Wow.
If I remember correctly, the hatchback CTR had a roll cage and some other stuff for it's 'Ring run. I don't remember details... but I do seem to recall there being some controversy. Maybe the new one did too?
Also.. I'd rather run a CTR around the 'Ring than a Supra. The course it bumpy and...
A lot of us never understood the "checker board" look of some Supras. Adding black pieces to a colored car breaks up the entire theme/flow/design. Youra looks great.
If I could clean up those two bobbles, fix my line into turn 4, enter 7 the way I wanted, and get some aero, I'm calling 1:55.xxx LOL
If you want to send me your vid, I can try to edit a side-by-side to see where the differences were.
For anyone who hasn't been to LVMS, here's the video from my fastest lap. So many bobbles... so many places to make up some time....so many chances to have the class record. AAAARRRRGGGHHH. I wish I had known I was that damned close.
