With ya, I stay on the same pads. More dust but, oh well⦠No further bedding in needed, I donāt drive the car much in town anyways.
And thank you @CSG for the explanation. If you ever have a sale on your highest temp 21/11 pads, please let us all know :)
Any down side to running 10mm spacers other than looks? Thatās what I bought for my 275/35-18 tires and it did the trick for me.
Also, big mistake on my part running with sport lowering springs not meant for track. I chewed up a nice new set of tires ?. Iām sure not many people would make that...
Ditto what Rock said. Drive in manual mode, turn the traction control garbage off, buy track pads, change your DOT4 brake fluid often. You can keep the stock springs or get coilovers. Sound like youāre on the right track!
I saw my 1st new Z the other day. It was really nice in person! Then low and behold, the previous gen was close behind. Wow! It must have been a Nismo. It was an off white, clean looking, well kept, looked brand new⦠anyways, I personally liked the older Nismo.
Nothing wrong with the new gen...
Positive hybrid story:
I needed a ride to my alignment shop. Got an Uber driver, selected āgreenā ride because I like them best. They are quiet and usually nicer Uber cars. A really nice retired guy (like most of the drivers here in SWFL) told me he gets close to 600 miles in Prius hybrid ?. It...
I just sent Jesse an email for something unrelated to tuning. He responded right away! But heās always done that. Probably because he has a store and sells other things? Who knows.
I just thought I should mention, never an issue with Jesse. My 2 cents ā?
Dude⦠you coming to Miami/Homestead or Sebring anytime soon? COTA is still on my bucket list. Glad youāre having such a good run with the Supra! Do you have a build page?
Good points āļø
How much of winning is being the no. 1 is driver vs. team? What is Red Bull doing this season that is so much better than the Mercedes 8 year dominance of old? Love em or hate em, we all tend to lean on the driverās side of the equation and Iām sure itās a bit of both. Perez and...
ā Donāt try this at home ā LOL
Got my Ohlins coilover track alignment yesterday. Off to get the pads, rotors, fluid and positive rake done for my last two track weekends until next October ?
That really is the bottom line. Why pay $1000 bucks when Iām going to have a fantastic weekend this weekend at Homestead. The point of owning this Supra (to me) is that Iām not paying Porsche or Vette prices for consumables. The more I think about it, Iām loving this Supra even more for not...
Youāre not even from the USA and donāt fit our stereotypes Brian is mentioning Iām sure. It is frustrating that if anyone brings up opposition, weāre considered backward thinking or not willing to move forward. Iād like to think the majority of us are somewhere in between and would like the...
Without looking at Brianās (razorlab) page, the Paragons I used were the P7s, their most expensive pad. I tried them only because a real world driver recommended them. There was nothing wrong with them other than they didnāt last long and I could not tell a huge difference from my Hawk DTC60s...
Man, I donāt even know all the inside stuff. Iāve only watched Netflix from mid seasons to present. Thereās no denying these guys are all incredible drivers. From a new fan point of view, Max looks so far ahead of everyone else, it reminds me of the Schumacher days.
Thereās always one kid in...
Thatās badass dude ?
I have the PS5, new wheel, and some virtual thing Grand Tursimo is compatible with. @nibble is willing to host a group of us. At least he was a while back. He also has a gaming thread. Check it out ā?
Iāve used Hawk DTC and Paragons highest temp compound. The Paragons didnāt last. So Iām switching back to Hawk. Would love to see how the 21/11s compare to the Hawk DTC 60/30s.
Unfortunately your brand is incredibly expensive. Do you have any discounts for forum members? My primary use is track...
My wife does some crazy therapeutic hand car washing ritual. She was OCD about it before going to car washing school at Detial Freaks. Where we got our PPF. It just fed her beliefs that she has to hand wash every car perfectly. So I donāt have this problem.
I love that BMW bits work for this car and you can interchange em. Iāll definitely be going this route for future parts! Great post @Andrew4Supra
Iām not on fakebook, so this helps!
I went really cheap and Hyperdipāed my OEM fugly two tone ones. Have yet to put them back on. Been all track...
Doesnāt hurt to show them for other people that use that shop. Iād want to know if I did something wrong so I could improve. Anyways, good luck and welcome to the Supra club!
