If there was a single jack point in the front, it’d be way easier. I just want to change my tires and occasionally bleed the brakes ?. The MX5 was like a toy car. LIght and jack points (frame access) everywhere. So this seems like the best bang for the buck for sure.
Yes. Either adjustable control arms or camber plates for more negative camber. And fully agree with @Evolution. Skip the springs. If you could do sway bars easily, go for it. Tires will be your biggest upgrade and seat time. Enjoy!!
Brake fluid is very hydroscopic. Our cars actually come with DOT4 fluid. Which is so cool, ready to track right out of the box ?. However, personally, I wouldn’t go past 2 years. Used or not, you’re looking at wet max temps for sure. Regardless of driving style, that makes a big difference. It...
Thanks for clarifying. Oddly enough, he is stock. I need to check with Carlo @1slow_mk5. I believe even he gets slower lap times when It’s over 100 degrees on track. I would think almost every car would regardless of make or model. The Supra happens to do incredibly well on track. I’m actually...
If anyone would know, @zrk would. Like you, I have a catless dp, AWE track exhaust and a JB4 that I use in town (not on track, yet…). When I was throwing various codes (chassis or steering angle to name a few) the car would not hold gears/shifts in manual mode (sport or normal). There was...
Who doesn’t want more power. Good point. If they can do it w/out overheating on track, kudos to them. I love what they did with the GR Corolla Morizo Edition trim. Like @johnnyskids said, weight reduction is highly coveted on a racetrack. If they did that to our Supra… it’d be hard for me not to...
A good track alignment usually does the trick for me. Negative camber ofc, toe in in the back and slight toe out up front (the latter you won’t do until you become very comfortable on track). Also you have more “wiggle” room doing HPDE at a larger track. Whenever you apply the brakes you become...
I definitely have my fastest track times when it’s cooler in the morning and can feel her loosing steam as the day goes on. Thanks for the info! This will definitely be on my “to do” list. However, even without the EOS manifold, a friend was flying in his stock 2020 Supra. Ran 2:26.88 yesterday...
I did this not once but twice until some thread, somewhere, a few peeps mentioned to remove some of the “spacers” (forgive me if the terms are wrong) on the SPL endlinks so there was less stress on the tie rods. And viola! No more bent tie rods. This did fix my issue. But I went a step further...
One of the few cars that I’m truly living in the moment and having a blast ? I get the question so much at the track “Is that a Supra?”, I bought a couple of these:

Yes there will be different iterations. Mine is a 2022. Catless and insanely loud...
Love this take! It’s so true. Everyone wants to bury their head in the sand to public opinion. The we know what’s best mentality and ignoring the fact that most do not want to spend hours of their lives at a charging station on a road trip or keep that grid draining monster ? plugged in all...
Are you doing this for tracking? It’s hot as balls down here this weekend at Sebring. Only once did I experience some sort of “lag”. But we can all tell as the day goes on, our cars definitely feel the heat. It’s not just Supras. We’re all having our best times in the morning when it’s 10...
A boot kit would make sense and Fuzzy may be on to something for us. Fingers crossed ?
Wanna say there are at least 6 or more Supras here this weekend. Glad to see peeps using their free track days. Some people even coming back for more. Love Toyota and NASA for doing this together. That being...
That’s so badass you did it!!!! Seat time is the best mod ever ?
If you went with Chin = most experience bunch of track peeps. It’s not just high end cars, those dudes actually know how to drive = fast as ? ?
I’m with NASA today at Sebring. The weather look great, lots of awesome car nuts...
They’re pretty & I used to on other cars. Until I realized (found out) they crack much easier and burn through pads much quicker. At least on track. If going for looks, go for it! ?
Smart grasshopper! I’d like to buy a boot kit. I’ll hit up @FuzzyRev85 and see if he knows the part. Couldn’t find it on the Toyota website. Thx ??
