LOL. Thanks to you, Geert, and all the Supra track rats, I'm seriously doubting I'll be needing either for my little weekend track events. I'll soon find out.... But these in depth explanations are incredibly helpful (and fun as shit) for me learning more about my new favorite car ?
I've never had a vehicle that adding a little oil for slightly used consumption between oil changes has been a problem. I don't imagine the Supra to be any different. Other than adding small amounts slowly since we have to check again/measure via the computer. No dipstick ?
These guys had a great writeup in another thread. Worth checking out, if you haven't seen it:

Let us know how you like it & if you see a difference in track times over the day! @zrk @Thraxbert have been an incredible source on other "heat issue" threads here on the forum. Is this cheaper (or better) than an EOS manifold with heat exchanger?
This APEX wheel & tire fitment guide was my main reason for going with them. Mega impressed with all their work and research on which tires are available for which wheel setups. In my case searching for R compound tires, they made it a breeze!

Assuming this is for drag or greatly increasing HP? Amazed & impressed how much you guys are able to do with this engine! Seems like most people tracking aren't having major heat issues but they keep the engine mods to downpipe w/ JB4 only or stock. So just curious your use @TYMBOM. Fun learning...
Are you running a square setup now and just want to go bigger in the rear? I just bought my Apex 18x10s to run 275/35 all the way around. Figured it'll save me a ton of money on rubber and still feel great on track ?
Glad it didn't go any higher. Flood insurance should be really cheap in your area. In case it ever gets high enough to come in the house. And hopefully it drains quickly.
Flood insurance always a good thing to have. It's never happened to me personally (needing to use the flood insurance), but I've seen plenty of flooded streets after a hurricane or two...

Modern Toyota in Winston Salem NC sold me mine at MSRP. “Mom” was the sales person. Yeah that’s her name. I’m sure there are many more. They were very good with the process and enclosed transport cost me $1000 from NC to FL. Highly recommend them.
Hope it gets better and not a sign of things to come:

I got the Turner front & rear set: Part#: 007372LAFRKT. Either line set they sell should be good. And doing the same as you. Getting it all done at once. Then I can just bleed and add fluid as needed.
Anyone else use steel brake lines on their track cars? I ordered mine from Turner (easy to find and in stock).

Wow dude! Are they supposed to be that spaced out from the rotors? I don’t remember them in my other cars having that much berth ?… Maybe you can bend them in a bit? I’d definitely visit your local race shop! Thx 2 your post I remembered to buy steel brake lines. They’re inexpensive and a no...
Good time to bust out those race ramps! I thought everything was drought and fire in CA… I guess it’s like everyone thinking we’re under constant hurricanes here in FL ?
