Great write up!!!!! Take @BayeauxSupra up on a ride along. Itās free and great to know what another Supra can do from a passenger point of view on track. Like you said, itās surprising how ours keeps up with the C8 or them having to keep up with us. The torque & linear power on the B58 is...
Absolutely!
Despite being fixed, installing new caster and control arms directly affects your carās suspension geometry, including camber, caster, and toe settings. Even if the arms are preset to a predefined length, the tolerances and adjustments will differ from OEM parts and must be dialed...
In short, it depends. You want just high enough where you donāt rub. Coilover designs, aftermarket arms/subframes, weight variations, alignment, spring rate, preload, wheel/tire setup and the type of track will all affect ride heights.
I could go a pinch lower at Sebring (for example) being...
Iād love to take you up on it, on track ??
I drive your manual and you drive my auto & see whoās quickest. Weāll both be grinning ear to ear during the process ?
Please tell me youāre going to finally break the 1000 mile barrier on those sneakers and your car someday ??
Also, how the hell is...
Today ?ā¦. Thatās fantastic!!!!!
When my work gets too hairy today, Iāll think of you having way more fun than me, lol. Donāt forget full braking in a straight line (before hitting ABS) is just as fun as full pedal to the metal throttle/ acceleration. Do both of themā¦. LOTS!! Have fun amigo ?
**When you wake up too early and enjoy looking up shit like this, aka car nerd ?**
I asked AI ? and it said this ? for our cars:
āCalculation and Impact
⢠The 2022 Toyota Supra coolant system holds about 4.3 quarts (approximately 17.2 cups) of coolant.
⢠Assuming the system was...
You should be fine living up in Canada ? and normal driving. Next time it goes down, add 1-2 cups of water and youāll be back to 50:50.
Even though it wasnāt by much, by adding more coolant (antifreeze) youāve technically increase your freezing protection (decreased the freezing point) and...
A local friend went for the 1st time and it rained all weekend. I thought for sure, thatād be it. One and done. Nopeā¦. He tracks more than I do now ? And⦠heās not afraid of the rain. He was baptized his 1st time out. Beautiful thang ?āāļø
But if you can do two days, do it! Talk about a...
As long as you donāt get too much understeer or slower turn in from being too stiff up front. Like you said, youāll have to see how it feels. We started with soft front and rear settings and made changes everywhere else before adjusting the sway bars. Damnnnnnā¦. now I gotta go look. I canāt...
That was me. I woulda bought a manual from all the hype I was taught and grew up with had Toyota come out with a MT the 1st year out. It kept me on the sidelines not buying anything. Finally said screw it when I found out the wife liked em and wanted to get one. I bought a 2022 for āusā and now...
You know the tracks already and have done your free track day. Time to one click off brotha! Orā¦. youāre going to chew thru brakes, get the wrong feeling (predictability & instinct) and eventually have the car do something drastic when you least expect it (now that youāre able to go faster)...
Depending on your experience and the track layout and you donāt get any rub, -3 camber up front should be a good place to start & less neg camber in the back. Zero toe up front and 0.5 - 1 mm toe in, in the back, should also be a good place to start. You can always dial in more later depending...
Man what a buy! I got my 2nd set on sale (tho not at this price ?) and donāt regret it. So freakin nice to be able to swap wheels that are ready to go, new rubber & even for spares if you got room to carry them to track.
*(@esoulliard Iāll take my 10% commission by Zelle or Venmo)*
Thatās a great point! Forgot you wonāt have all the nannies off.
Do NOT hit the BIG nanny button on the center console. At least until you know the track like the back of your hand and you see the brakes constantly grabbing on the dash (little light that comes on).
I got this car when there was no manual. Had there been I would have gotten her that way. Now that Iāve driven this thing on track, Iād buy the auto ? again. Was supposed to be a daily driver & then I used the stupid freakin track dayā¦. Never expected her to be this much dadgum fun. This car on...
