Bit surprised with both Red Bulls going out; I thought they'd have ironed out most of the issues by quali, but apparently not. I'd imagine this will hold and their DRS advantage probably won't benefit much if both drivers are losing huge time in the corners, and we may see a non RB winner this...

Maybe one click off then. VSC is way less intrusive than TC because they compute the car's slip very differently.

There'll be stuff you need to monitor based on track temperature and stuff, like your tire pressure (I go for 35 PSI hot). Sport mode for sure. Start with traction control fully on and auto mode while you learn the lines, braking points, etc. You should eventually go to manual mode and go for...

I'm planning on DIYing moving forward at Stew's Self Service Garage. One of the guys at the Bellevue branch has a Mk5, so it works out well if I have questions or need help.

If you don't want to DIY, Bimtech PNW is the way to go.

I tried a stock Supra shifter and it felt a bit more tactile than F87 M2 my buddy has. He also changed out some parts to reduce the rubbery feel and the Supra still felt better.

Less said about hill assist, the better.

Damn, sucks that they're totaling it, but I'm not surprised given the massive waits most body shops have. And my vote for the next car will be Supra. I got a ride in an M4 and it felt too disconnected, and while a 718 is no doubt a great driver's car, I prefer the Supra's road presence and...

Damn lucky. Our track season north of you ends in September.

I was happy with Toyota of Seattle in Sodo. Only downside: you need to drive into Sodo on those crappy roads.

you could just say "stupid fast" lol

Seconded on the iMT, Toyota did a great job with it in the GRC, and I expect it would be similar in the Supra.

Don't the Euro-spec cars have the MY 2020 2 port and tune which doesn't play that well with JB4 as compared to the 6-port? Or was I hearing some false rumors?

I personally use Liqui Moly 5w-30: BMW 5W30 Oil Change Kit - Liqui Moly 11428583898.LM | FCP Euro but you could go for 5w-40 given the UAE heat. This appears to be the go-to. Get the spec that you find on FCP Euro for the Z4. Brake fluid: I've just flushed and have Castrol SRF in my car. Gonna...

Change out your oil for thicker viscosity oil. @FLtrackdays might have the most comparable temperatures to you in the Emirates (albeit way more humid), and probably has the best reference point. Probably also worth doing stainless steel brake lines and some DOT4 brake fluid since you're doing...

Only downside is that it's a bit of a hike from Seattle down to Puyallup.

Are tires implied?

Finally got the chassis codes on my car cleared. Turns out it had nothing to do with the steering angle sensor as originally thought, but rather the parts that were replaced, namely the headlight, were never programmed to the ECU, and the error codes I had were red herrings. Also found out from...

Spotted a blue '23 near Facebook HQ on Dexter Ave N yesterday around 7pm.

Gonna double down on "DON'T GO TO COLLISION MASTERS" -- found out in the past couple days that they straight up lied about working with Toyota of Kirkland for the chassis stabilization code that I had (both ToK and Toyota of Seattle found no record of my car being at ToK when the body shop said...
