True but⦠they have put down all new pavement and so many millions of dollars into this race, I donāt know if anyone knows the true final number. Trees have been moved, thatās pissed people off, itās changed the āsceneā, itās messed up traffic flow, you name the controversy around this one. But...
Sounds like my kinda guy! Love those tires and driving in the rain (on track).
No fun in town, or to track destination when pouring. However, If you turn your lap timer off, drive like you just got your 1st social security check on track - youāll get some incredible feedback at much slower...
Bam ?- Smartest solution! However, check out underneath the hood (wheel well fender). Itās metal and requires more cutting lol. If you notice black rubber in that location, youāre finally going fast enough to rub there too. Downside, youāre finally going fast enough to rub there too ?
Just...
I know tire selection was a big determinant for me. Thereās a shit ton of 275/35 (or 40)-18 rubber out there. If youāre still on stock suspension, thatāll help as well - not being lowered.
Truth! And a little height adjustment, stifferā¦. Iām finally paying someone to set me up properly. Itāll be interesting to see where the numbers lie (in my case at least). I gave them your updated setup/height as well, for reference. At least we have the same size wheels/tires. Thanks man...
Luckily I live in FloRida and a wheelchair/buggy cart dealer could throw on a mini trailer if needed. I tend to stay overnight and would need to bring a toothbrush. But for trips straight back and forth, well dun ?? - I wouldnāt have thought it was possible. Especially with wider tires ?
Well shitā¦. Can you help me with mine? LOL
I live in FL as you might have guessed. You are what I love about this forum and track days. Age doesnāt matter, 16-you name it. Guys like yourself are easier to spot (and drive quite well I might add). Nothing like what you see on regular roads. Love...

I think they said it well, āfor the priceā - thatās even more key today in ICE cars uncertain future. The MKIV was so badass back in its day. We knew we were going to continue to put gas in our cars, there were other really good contenders to go up against, the market segment wasnāt as squeezed...
Iām lucky my wife is a clean fanatic. Otherwise mine would always have the track grime look. Poor thing⦠Thereās some good threads on here on how to make her look showroom new 24/7.
I had a guy at a gas station in Homestead/Miami (near the track), come up to me and say heās never seen one in...
So happy for you brother! She looks goooooood ?
Iāve purchased most of my cars over the phone and long distance. So Iām glad it turned out well for ya. If they ever say you have to drive (or fly ?) there and canāt secure the numbers over the phone, move on - they wonāt do it period. Itās a...
Plenty stiff for me and thereās plenty of room for adjustments. Spring preload, ride height and dampening.
Iāve only been on them at the end of my last season (1 - 2 track weekends) and this season is just beginning.
Dude⦠Go get it! Giving me hopes for my later dayz amigo ?
Are you wanting 20s for a look? Some considerations would be front fit, tire rub, etc. Checkout these guys ? (scroll down, not selecting a wheel)...
Mine are in a box. It was nice when I heard āif you only still had your OEM top hatsā - LOL - I did and was able to get in an extra track weekend. Cuz like @Crypto79 said, ya never knowā¦
I absolutely LOVE mine ? Both of these cars = incredible bang for the buck & purist mobiles. The MX5 is sooooooo light and fun to drive. The Supra is even more exciting on track. So make sure you use that free track day to realize what you just bought, when you take delivery. Enjoy!!
Any of us that drive on track know exactly what itās like when youāre carrying too much speed in or out of a corner/apex. Weāre like focccckkkkkk⦠as you carry that speed off track or further over the rumbles. If we were to ācorrectā that extra speed (turn the wheel) while on or over the limit...
I just purchased these made for the Ohlins:

When you select the Ohlins for strut type - it will say 2.5ā perch. So you select that from the next drop down below. If you try to select a...
