Quick follow up on my new Ohlins. I replaced my OEM top hats.
Iām running -2.5 camber with SPL adjustable control arms. Felt great on track this last weekend at Homestead. I was definitely more confident, which = more consistent faster lap times. These coilovers are no joke. We used the Ohlins...
I will say I got so many questions about this car yesterday at the track. I told a few peeps about this site and how to order a MSRP Supra. The track guys love this car! Lots of Supras out there yesterday. 5 new ones! These cars are incredibly capable. Porsche and Vette territory for a fraction...
Did you notice any codes when this happened or anything on the dash? My car always seems to hesitate when that happens. Especially the chassis code. I got that yesterday on track and she lost some power. Not limp mode but enough where you could tell⦠It only happened twice. But we are definitely...
This is really apparent down here at Homestead this weekend. Tons of Supras! To me this is the real indication of where this cars shines and is heading. Not a single Nissan Z. Zero, nada, nilche⦠no hating on the Z, but itās obvious at this point.
Anyways, a tandem of us more experienced Supra...
Back to this thread topic, I had a fellow Supra owner ask me on track if I get throttle hesitation. He said he can feel turbo lag⦠I donāt get this at all. But I definitely believe him. He too turns his traction control off ofc, driving on track. Itāll eat up your brakes otherwise.
Anyways...
What can happen if you donāt wire them together (or zip tie them)
Driving to the track Friday. The brake pad sensor spontaneously activated, with new front and rear pads put on the day before. Anyways, we listened to @Rocksandblues suggestion, snipped & wired them together, then zip tied em...
Way smarter than me (like most on this forum). I went to Toyota, big mistake. BMW, they did it butā¦. I finally found 2 shops that actually did track alignments w/ SPL parts. Worth the 30-40 min drive.
Iāll have to try this next time. Not the same tire setup as you guys, being square, but Iāve...
When I read @Evolution question, I was thinking āis he talking to me?ā. I didnāt realize this exact same thing happened to you too ?. Sorry to hear but you make me feel better. If thatās any constellation. He recommended Ohlins on another thread and I bought them. Feels much stiffer. And Iām no...
Itās not illegal over here but they can still loose your car keys... Happened to another guy in front of me. Made me think, please just find my keys and I promise never to come back ?. They didnāt have the āSupraā tech anyways, got their days mixed up, and admitted with SPL parts they couldnāt...
Yessir. 10mm spacers all around for a different issue. The plastic wheel well cover and hood was rubbing the tires under high speed compression.
I should have known better and really high speed sweeping turns on track did me in. This wonāt affect (or is it effect lol) most people. It looked...
I really tap this tread way too much. Because a friend and I were both considering this car (in theory) just because it seemed decent on paper and had a manual. I really do like the car. If it was priced less and marketed in the beginning for what it really is. A nice sporty in town car ?āāļø...
Roughly about a buck per mile. I did one enclosed and one on a standard carrier. Either way, itās way better than rewarding this upside down market right now. Iād much rather reward any dealer selling at MSRP, imo. Itās a very personal thing but I enjoy my car much more having paid MSRP. But...
Welcome to the club! My mechanic pretended like it was no sweat ?. At least that was my perception and he didnāt say anything. I would definitely do as Fuzzy says. His advice has been mega solid across this forum. My 2 cents. And they added some new bolts as well.
I think you meant to say summer months. Amen to that. I donāt do that here either (anymore at least). In fact my last two track days are in sight until next October. You really have to have a dedicated track car and mega ambition to drive down here (or TX) in the summer for sure!
Hit me up when...
I know this was said elsewhere but will repeat. Local Supra track rat in our neck of the woods is all stock except consumables. And is the fastest Supra around our track ? ā?
Coulda, shoulda, woulda saved me a ton of money looking back. This car is very capable with better rubber and pads...
This ā is exactly why I donāt go backā¦. And the weakest link of Supra ownership, imo. We will have a Supra tech. Sorry we donāt have a Supra tech. We can reset your codes. Sorry we canāt reset your codes. We can do an alignment. We canāt do that kind of alignment. SPL parts⦠negative 2.5 camber...
Yup! Max is definitely at another level. But Perez is doing a great job at his role for Red Bull.
Like how you explain it. I was shocked how badly McLaren did ? last race. I hope Max and Perez can make the most out of what Red Bull has put on their plate. Itās so early in the season. Anything...
