Toyota currently has the Lowest Days Supply. So whatās the take? Good news for Toyota or bad news for Toyota buyers trying to get a hold of one?
Typically the higher days of supply = better deals & more room to negotiate. Pretty striking Toyota is so far ahead of the rest. They were also one of...
Will said! You find your highest wear points quickly when on the softies. For me itās on track. Not being a daily driver, I donāt notice any effects from the few miles I put on during the week. Like you, when it comes to tires, I look for a good buy on our daily cars. But yeah, I wouldnāt want a...
I went bigger up front on my S2K. Totally lost her play. Thus had reservations of using a square 275/35-18s on this platform. However, it works on this car. If youāre adding power and need the added grip (in the back), you definitely should do it. Thatās easier to work with than going bigger up...
I had this recently when flipping my pads. Then again when swapping tires left to right. Would take forever to go away with in town driving. However on track, heat builds up much quicker, stays longer. The tires and pads both reformed to fit their new positions. After a few laps, it begins to...
Side note: whenever I swap my tires around, ofc you feel it. The car can vibrate at certain speeds, braking, turning, you name it. Eventually my tires settle in, being softer and in a hot climate. But I definitely feel it when I rotate them (left to right or front to back). After a few laps...
Yessir. The Porsche kids seem to love them down here when they migrate down from up North for 5-6 months. Hereās my take. Iāll be different, as usual ;)
Buy one and just upgrade the pads, tire, fluid and ability to dial in some camber. Get comfortable with her 1st. Go by feel of what youāre...
Let us know what you decide on! Love reading your posts & perspective across the ocean ?
Edit: Love my ZF trans Zupra, have a manual MX5 to mow through the gears of nostalgia. A buddy bought a slightly used Tesla Plaid and loving every minute of it! Food for thought ?
Iām gonna grab a ham samwidge and start using more of the track myself. The VW driver was like watching an instructional video for using all the track ?
Required at most tracks. The last thing they want to do is to have to screw yours in, tow your (people in general) ass off track, while others are waiting to drive, lol.
Edit: Rock beat me again ? ?
Some are just lazy and leave it in. At least thatās my excuse.
As usual, spot on amigo. Iāve never had soooooo many Porsche kids/buddies come over and ask me so many questions about this Supra. Including can I drive it? Iām sure you get the same head scratching: āhow the hell is he passing me in a Supra?ā. Mine still looks ānormalā, so I get a few more head...
Donāt know if you got your Porsche yet. I got this far in the thread and this post stuck out. Thatās where the Supra got me. Iād likely baby the Porsche too much if I tracked it. The Supra fits my bill (price range) for having fun w/out worries of āwhat ifā on track.
I noticed a couple of...
@NitroYellowMKV sells modified OEM wheels. A neighbor down the street has one and I was shocked at the quality of that bad boi. He also has a buttload of knowledge on whatās out there. So if he doesnāt see this post, give him a shout.
Good job on tightening the bolts. Youāre right that they do need to be checked a lot. Iād seriously consider an upgraded manifold if youāre looking to reduce heat. Will cutting help? Absolutely! But that would will be my next āupgradeā.
Finally did an overlay on one of my 2:25 laps ā Goal is...
Wife and I watched ½ of the 12 hours of Sebring. The televised portion. Still have 2 hours left to watch. Freaking awesome to watch. So many pro drivers from all over driving (including F1) & tons of action!
Thx āŗ
Iām mega happy with the Ohlins. Manifold would be the next obvious project = less heat soak down here in schweaty florida = perhaps more seat time, if I could stand the heat lol.
