You handled it well dude. Good honest question on your part. Iām with ya. I miss the good old days of stores with stuff in house. I think Amazon and others have forever changed that. Why carry $tock, more overhead and higher expenses.
I actually started a dumb thread, when I 1st got my supra...
Love that part of it too. My wife was freaking out when (canāt remember the team) took 2x the time to pit. Of course that can totally ruin your position. Iām amazed what a fine oiled machine these guys are in the paddock. Incredible teamwork indeed. Itāll be interesting to see who can come in...
Hawk DTC pads and Castroil fluid here. Any DOT4 fluid is good for in town driving. But I drive track and town. The Castrol SRF has the highest wet temp, if sitting around a bit. The Hawk are fantastic. Like many other race brake pads. Rotors donāt matter. But like @kaj was eluding to, thereās...
The buying experience and service is very similar to Comcast/Xfinity. Youāre on your own. I had to tell them what I found based on website zip code searches, make everything crystal clear so you donāt get the āwe didnāt know thatā scenario. And stay on top of them every step of the way. However...
The feel from the SPL parts alone are incredible. I also am really digging the Ohlins.
But that ZRK list looks delicious ? - Someday ?

Toyota, with Akio at the helm, knew how to stay ahead of the game in racing development. Winning the FIA World Endurance Championship since 2018.

Despite being ahead in the championship, they did end their 5 year winning...
Nice setup! Love the Escort brand. Currently I have a tiny Catalyst tracking camera mounted (adhesive) next to my rear view mirror. Nothing to do with radars but takes up a tiny bit of window real estate.
If Escort beeps less in town than they use to, it would be a nice thing to have...
LOL - great way to emphasize camber!! The factory spec toe is very good for this car and great way to start. Later @3TMagnetMan can try some negative toe (toe out) up front to help with turn in and positive toe (toe in) on the back for more stability under heavy braking - also improve grip...
Is it me or does Sky, DTS, F1 āofficialā publication, and others, predominately favor the Brits, or other personal favs? I sense a bias with the majority of commentators & publications. Iād love to root for the American driver and team. But they suck.
Has Red Bull always been this revered...
I assumed as much. And love extremes/sarcasm to drive thought. Question is, why is Red Bull so far ahead of the rest? Everyone can see the car, FIA goes over them with a fine tooth comb, Merc still has Hamilton, Aston Martin is pouring money into sources outside of F1. So what gives?
Great...
Sebring is where so many car companies come to test itās redonkulous. 4-5 different kinds of pavement, hot as balls, but no way around it - itās not purdy. Nothing like those beautiful tracks up north in my stupid opinion. Always want what you currently donāt have ?āāļø ?
Thank gawd all yāall...
Iām flabbergasted dude! Weāre obviously a rare breed. Heavy overweight cars with tons of mind numbing technology, & enough room to leave your house and never come back - are where the numbers lie ?
That was just my opinion. It looked like Merc was going to have an orgasm when the Red Bull car was hoisted up. Then I read on some stupid F1 publication that Mercedes should be able to find some kind of āregulationā issue. Could just be the tabloids pumping it up. Maybe they all get along...
Even at the āsoftestā settings they will be stiffer than the OEM. After I drive some more on the Ohlins, Iāll have to visit this again. Good points above @3TMagnetMan
They wonāt mess you up in any setting. Youāre going to feel more planted regardless. Bottom line, the more you drive, the more...
