Great job amigo. Was that GR86 purposely going off line (as he shouldn’t) expecting you to pass or just missing his apexes watching you in his rearview mirrors? Nice to have a track that has a lot of runoff - practice areas for things you want to improve on, find your limits, etc. Be even more...
I have the MAD downpipe. So far so good.
Warrantee will be your biggest issue if that's your concern. It wasn't for me, since I don't use (trust) the dealer for service.
Damn you got me looking up a ton of ? fo fun! My take, I’ve got to give Toyota a lot of credit for maintaining their long term game and not following the average quarterly profit chasing herd ?. Like many did going all in on EVs. Akio Toyota still has plenty of influence on the board. In fact...
Definitely not the pad. As everyone mentioned, all 3 methods would work. New rotors with new pads (my fav), low grit sandpaper to remove the transfer film from previous pad material, or incredibly violent bed in. Same ? happened to me when I 1st got the car. A long time friend/good track buddy...
TBH I didn’t realize the Supra is that much shorter. Good point comparing both cars out of the (dealer) box.
Length:
• 2024 Ford Mustang: 189.4 inches
• 2024 Toyota Supra: 172.5 inches
Width (without mirrors):
• 2024 Ford Mustang: 75.4 inches
• 2024 Toyota Supra...
Personal preference. I have bronze & black Apex wheels. Wife loves the bronze, I love the black. I seem to get just as many compliments at track on both. Go with what you like ?
Just pound the keystroke pavement. Type in zip codes out of your area. Typically bigger metro areas don’t deal as well as smaller ones. You’ll see they get refreshed every couple of weeks. They are also listed on some of the auto shopping websites/apps. May show as in route and the dealer can...
Good for you. Screw that! A nice covered transport would cost you far less and you’d be dealing with a reputable dealer. I used covered transport for one Supra and open for the other. One was over 1000 miles and the other 800 miles. Either way, it’s nice having it come to your door...
Sounds like it’s time to find a good independent BMW mechanic in your area. If not doing the oil change yourself have them do it, check the coilovers, try to determine the miles of use since install, any other aftermarket suspension parts for wear, loose bolts, etc. Also have them run a proper...
The front will do the majority of the work. Jordan is right and why I run a split (next grad down in the rear) set. But if you continue to track, like to track, bought it for that, you'll end up getting the upgraded calipers in the rear eventually. You won't be sorry you did in the long run...
Really good member on here, Kaj, had a 3.0 base and tracked a lot. He sold his car but he eventually went with the 3.0 premium caliper size for the same exact reason you’re talking about. There are so many more pads available and much cheaper in that premium size. You end up saving money in the...
I’d think Road Atlanta would be cold as well?!? You should drive just a little further and head on down to Sebring ?. We’ve got some great events coming up in January (NASA, Chin, FARA). I’d love to try & keep up with ya! Plus we need a different Supra setting the fastest lap on the Catalyst...
Nice!!!!!!! I’m near OEM height as well and my OEM setup was definitely smoother than after installing the Ohlins. But the Ohlins still feels great imo. Looking forward to sending mine to Barry at 3DM. I don’t need mine serviced quite yet. Hopefully I make it to the end of this track season...
You’re right. I suppose it was just luck of the draw and timing.
Speaking of consistency, did you watch the press conference after the Brazilian race? I’m so glad Max gave the British press a shout out. The they come out in droves to cover their drivers. Not so much after this one.
Max...
Good to know. That’s the problem with the RC1s. They are so good from new to cord that I tend to drive on them way to long, w/out feeling or noticing them fall off performance wise. Have to watch them like a hawk ?
Nice trailer! That is the way to go. What you got in the semi?
It’s funny cuz while you’re packing up, many snowbirds are unloading theirs down here, with the weather finally getting nice. Any chance you’ll be getting a SWFL winter home/condo someday, so she doesn’t have to go into...
