I came from the other end of the spectrum, MX5 & S2000, that would go all day, down here in the summers. Regardless, this car should fit the bill for you. The OEM power (and catless downpipe in my case) Supras do happy hour or HPDE sessions no problem. I’ve personally done multiple full to empty...

Interesting thread. Guess my car is so loud, I‘d never notice ? Project Mu 999 was “tighter” than the Hawk DTC60 I usually run. Looking back at this thread, I really need to bite the bullet $$$ and try the CSG ones like Rock (Bob) said. Just for performance. Bryan (Razor) is correct (as usual...

I’ve never tried them. Only used grease. But I believe ya! I wonder if tracking would cook that tape? Hawk DTCs had more “wiggle” room than the project mu’s that were recently installed. I don’t think even tape would have fit with those pads ?

A few guys down here (myself included) have notice some power reduction as the day goes on, if you drive in the summer. But it needs to be in the 90s (track temps over 100) to really notice it. The few Supras I’ve seen go into limp mode have had power mods. If you’re going to do that, Brian...

That’s great man! I know Mark and Maria well and met Wei-Shin way back when he use to come to Sebring more often. I remembered that Chin NSX ? Loved those cars!! I had a Honda S2000 with Sick Sideways. Maria and I would get rides from John Dean, back when he would do that sort of thing. I wish...

Depends on the brand of pad. Some have a shim, some don’t. Higher quality or race pads won’t for example. You put the grease that comes with them directly on the back surface. They will fit tightly if installed properly.

My car (and I) couldn’t be happier after getting rid of the pad wear sensors. https://www.supramkv.com/threads/supra-brake-pads-the-same-as-z4.10763/page-2 It’s mega easy checking the pads with a flashlight if you think they are getting low. The fact that you’re able to change them puts you in...

Some peeps have found their cars on Google or Apple maps. I found mine at (for) an upcoming track event. Glad to see our Supras making the track cut ? ?

I’m really interested in front brake pads. For the rear, Hawk DTC30s have been more than plenty for me. I know Pagid is huge with Porsche. I tried their DOT4 fluid in a pinch. It worked for one weekend then I went back to Castrol SRF (wetter longer). A Pagid rep was in the shop recently and...

Get them slicks! That’s a lot of Porsche head scratching ?

Damn that’s cheap! Or could get one that even says Premium on the box for under $17 ? I do get the point of diminishing returns. Changing it monthly would be stupid. Annually for me yields a pretty dirty looking filter. So that’s when I change ours.

About the same here. I was looking for a M2 or Z4 and found the Zupra. At the time they were about $10k more and weighed more. So it was a no brainer for me to buy one with a Toyota badge on it. I’ve seen a few M2s in the wild now and gotta say, they’ve grown on me big time! If someone needed a...

Everything depends on where you drive, what you can tolerate, no one person or driving environment is the same. Most the time my AC points directly right at me. The way my schweaty ass likes it. Last thing I want is the majority of the air blowing bug guts and other dust mite ? on me. We all can...

https://www.motorsportweek.com/2024/05/06/if-my-mum-had-balls-shed-be-my-dad-verstappen-quips-over-lost-miami-f1-win Great post interview & best statement ever from Max ?

What if you don’t drive on public roads (or live in Florida ?)? If I could put the same amount of ethanol with every fill up and it’d be better, I’d do it in a heartbeat ? Just keep a tiny jug in my trunk or garage to add prior to fill up ?‍♂️ I used to add a tiny bottle of 2 stroke oil to my...

Luckily my wife is slim. So her or my thin kids do our cabin air filters annually. I have to workout & avoid the industry standard American ? ? ? consumption lifestyle to stay under 190lbs. It sucks! No way I’m attempting a non glovebox cabin air filter. I’ve tried and got that sick feeling as...

The Mazdas we have are such a piece of cake - glove box is the way to go! I’m not looking forward to doing the Supra again ? Ford is no better btw. I swear I hated doing our Mustang and now my daughters Fiesta ?

Good excuse to get a nice set of Apex wheels and better tires. At least as a backup while you’re sorting out the OEM ones ?

Is that your car??? WTF ? And what the hell is that place? How are you going to even drive it? That’s got to be the best looking Supra I’ve ever seen ?

I don’t know much about the OEM pads. But I‘ve heard they do well for 1st track days. You should always bring a little flashlight with you to the track and check your pads and rotors. If you can’t see the meat of the pad, it’s probably time to change them.
