Video footage of the wheel hop. You can see at the end of the power slide while still maintaining some wheel spin the rear end violently starts shuddering. VSC is fully deactivated. Tires are at 32psi. Ambient air temps were around 63f.
I have a drift event in 3 weeks that I am considering...
Nah this is honestly the best reply so far I gotta admit.
The engineer in me is just stubborn but I'll likely go this route as I'm getting close to being defeated.
You sound like my wife Phil - she makes fun of me for coupon clipping when I grocery shop but then I go and drop $8,867.80 on performance parts for my Supra within the first 4 months of owning it.
The way I see it is every mm of tire saved on my daily commute is a mm of tire I can burn off...
Yup I have nooooooooooo idea... ;) .... you ain't kidding tho the VLSD in the Z was hot garbage. When it did work it was unpredictable (much like the ELSD in the MKV) and when it didn't work it was basically an open diff.
I did see that Powertune is releasing a PNP Motec kit that will allow...
Tested out my new AFE front sway bar by poorly mounting my phone as a camera and doing some donuts in a local community park. Needless to say I still have no idea how well the new front sway bar performs. But I do know the E-LSD in these cars sucks as bad as my camera skills.
Installed an AFE front sway bar today. I actually ordered it on Nov 15, 2024 but I only got it yesterday - Yes it took A90shop 3.5 months to ship it out to me ? It just kept getting delayed and delayed but I wasn't worried about it as it was low on my priority list.
Zero increase to NVH and...
This is something I need to check on - make sure myself or the one previous owner didn't hop a bolt into oblivion. It's also interesting that you too have a 23' manual and you are experiencing exactly what I am going through - meanwhile the guys in automatics seem to not have this issue so much...
On the topic of tire pressure - I lowered mine down to ~35psi. Less wheel hop. The computer wants me at 41psi. Sorry baby can't do it ?
Of course I still think it's a bit of a band-aid - I should be able to brake stance this thing into a barricade and catch the tires on fire without wheel...
That’s a pretty small amount of ethanol, I wouldn’t be concerned.
Here’s a good video from a respected honda builder named Mike Kojima. Super cool guy and knows his stuff. He talks about some of the problems he sees with ethanol.
Engine Masters also has multiple videos on ethanol and get...
Saw this post on Facebook - guy is selling a two port head. May or may not be of interest to you.

Anyone done a mechanical LSD conversion?
Saw this kit and wondering if it would fit our Supras....

Would it mess with the E-LSD and freak the computer out? Does the E-LSD need to be disabled?
