Damn that Porsche looks sooooooo good ?. Every time I get the Porsche itch, I go over and ask them how much it cost to replace the pads, rotors, & tires. Same for the new Vette. I couldn’t imagine driving either one of those only around town ?. Did any Honda’s pass you this weekend? ? I’m sure...

Spot on brother! Warped is the wrong term for sure. Love Centric rotors and great link to the real causes. I’ll be the 1st to admit I’m no mechanic or engineer. I should have tried a low grit sand paper. Maybe it was deposit. I definitely had shudder bAAd. And definitely could have been a bed in...

I still have my MX5 and had a RX8. You are going to love her dude! She’s soooooo worth the wait ?

This is exactly how I met a shit ton of people. It also helped me meet @1slow_mk5 and realize I can go faster lots of place on the same tracks we both drive. To me that is priceless. Comparing with others on my same platform. Plus the “friend“ invites start coming in quickly with others who want...

Wait what?!? Those are so bad ass!!!! You only made two? ?

Glad you’re going to track that bad boyEE!

Glad you did! Crossing my fingers because I haven’t broken that yet… ?. Hope you’re tracking her now that it’s your tracking season up there. Mine is now just carting me to my short drive to work when not using the MX5, until next Oct. Looks like it’s ~$500 bucks @MisterSkiz, not too bad...

Glad you choose the Supra as well. I can’t wait till you get yours and track it brother!

Exactly my thought. I was kinda joking to myself about it but figured why not confirm it with you. There’s not as many of them on track. I’ve only encountered about 4. The 1st time I did it wasn’t even close. Had to be the driver ofc. I finally saw a new one at Homestead that had a really really...

This would be me ☝️ and why I’m still on 93. Good luck dude! I’m sure someone will figure it out for ya. In a few years when I can’t get better lap times and think the engine won’t run hotter, it’d be fun to try. Do you have a race shop near you? Not familiar with your local

Closest I found was Sheey Toyota in Laurel, MD. The guy’s name was Travis. He was mega helpful. The dealer, not so much. But they can do the deal. That was 6-8 months ago when I was shopping. Oh yeah, and Ft. Wayne, IN. I’m not sure which is closer to you. Both were willing to do a MSRP deal.

True! I waited until I couldn’t stand it anymore. Probably a fad down here. But if you find a lot of guys are using it, the ability to see each others times and do data overlay (if you choose to friend accept) is incredible. Also, the optimal lap time coaching is better than I anticipate. I used...

Two kinds of track people. Some take the stock car and replace parts as they wear down. And others like me that get caught up and replace some things preventively. I will say I love the SPL parts. The feel on track and quality. But they’re not cheap either. That being said. A buddy drives his...

Good article backing up the great times with the Type R https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a43645261/2023-honda-civic-type-r-fl5-nurburgring-record/?source=nl biggest key to me is the tires. They talk about tires as well. That may sound silly but it makes all the difference in the world. It is...

This☝. If there’s something to break, I’ll eventually get there. I mainly track her, in Florida heat at Sebring. Which is not the smoothest track to say the least. I do love the car and that track though. I’m not on any of the VW GTi or MX5 forums because we daily those car. So I’m not worried...

I love all comparisons, cars, drivers, upgrades, esp on track w/ good rubber, so friggin cool ?

Where the Type R fits, good question. I just haven’t see any running sub 2:35s at Sebring, yet… Maybe @Rocksandblues sees more at VIR?

I think they’re great too. Just haven’t seen a fast one on track. Yet… They definitely don’t have the grunt ours does out of an apex. Pretty easy to overtake. And they’re not at MX5 weight in the corners. But… they do look good in my rear view mirrors.

I’m fortunate that I have a spare set of tires and wheels. It’s not cheap, but it is nice to have another set. I’ve swapped my front wheels/tires left to right and get a totally different feel (or pull) due to wear sometimes. I hope it‘s just that, something minor like wheels, tire wear, balance...

Wow. I didn’t know it was that much of a difference in specs. This Supra is quite capable. I do love Honda and their products. S2K still on my mind. The Type R is great and much respect (but not for its Nurburgring times however). Local buddy has a stock 2020 Supra and I’m almost reaching his...
