I've had MCS's on 3 other cars, and still have them on the autox car. If/when I buy coilovers for the Supra it'd be MCS 2WR.

I think they were there in the morning since I saw a large group including at least one Lexus leaving as I was pulling in. The afternoon session seemed to have more daily driver or lower prep style cars. Since I live 3.5-4 hours away I usually pick the later session if I have a choice so I can...

I was there for the afternoon session in the red Supra. I think I saw you there, but it was one of my friends in the white ERay that held up the intermediate group so I didn't get to wander around quite as much as I wanted. You reminded me I hadn't posted video of that day though. Here's my...

It does look like it's slightly more expensive to get done if next day shipping is required vs the cheaper overseas option. That said, after all is said and done, the timeline will be much shorter for basically $30 more. It took 9 days total for DHL to get the package from South Carolina to...

I've talked to and raced with the Zebulon guys. It's a very nice setup, and worth the cost if you're pushing the envelope. AJ Hartman has also run locally at various time trials/time attacks I run at and his stuff also works well. I haven't chatted with him though, so no real comment there...

I bought the AT unlock a few weeks ago. DHL fucked around a bit which cost a few days, but all said and done it was 7 business days (9 total) to get the ECU back. MHD went on the same day it returned and the car is considerably quicker than before. I specifically chose AT just to give femto...

For the noise, does it show up at light throttle while cruising? Diff should be warmed up, at freeway speeds (the 50-80 mph you mention), and then vary the throttle small amounts at very light opening. If the whine shows up while on light throttle, but goes away when off throttle or at lower...

Interesting. That's actually relatively similar to what the older LS1/6 engines would do to the fresh air port. Most would use a 1 or 2 psi check valve, and like you mention it wasn't perfect but it did cut down dramatically on oil going into the intake. I commonly use the little breather you...

Does any oil actually come out of this port, or is it strictly for fresh air sourcing? I'll freely admit I haven't looked at the B58 crank case venting or how it's setup other than the cursory search to see if it needed a catch can on track. That said I'm curious about this since I've long...

I've ran the HP+ and DS2500. I think the DS2500 is between the HP+ and HPS 5.0 line, and none of those are good on track with power/heavy cars either. My first ever track pads were HP+ and while I was a noob, I was quickly finding the limits of the HP+ on track at Mid-Ohio in a 2,800 lbs 300...

Good to know and thanks for the real world feedback. I've used the RSL29's on several other cars including a Cayman GTS and always felt they were pretty spot on. Prior to that I've had experience with Hawk, Carbotech, GLoc, Ferodo, and Raybestos, but the RSL keeps me coming back. They can...

As in they fade? The temp range says they are mostly the same (which does seem dubious) and the Mu is also similar. I ASSumed the N+ and HC+ were closer in style to the RSL29/GLOC R8 and would be worth a try while the 999 would be more in the DTC60/70 range which I always found to be too much...

Curious if anyone has tried the lower bite N+ or HC+ from PMU? My Pagid RSL29's have another few track days left in them, but I figured I'd try some new sets. I tend to like pads with lower initial bite but still able to hit ABS on 200tw tires if I mean it. Looking through the catelog those...

Given the air going through the intake manifold is usually moving over 100 mph when you're out on track, the phenolic spacer isn't going to do much. In stop and go traffic where the air is much slower moving through the IM and has more time to leach the heat from the housing it can help. By...

295 on a 10.5 isn't the worst, and would likely be faster than a 275 on a 10.5, but it won't feel as good and you'll need to be ready for the squish. Again, I haven't driven this particular car on a 295/30 or 295/35, but the people I know who have tested those two tires have said the 35 doesn't...

I'm an awful person in that I don't change rotors between stock and race pads. That would be optimal so there's no cross contamination, but over the years I've found swapping back and forth is a non-issue for most pads. I do run a quick bed procedure after a pad swap of 6-8 hard braking...

I run a 275/35/18 on a 10.5 and it's pretty good. Were I running a 295 I'd want an 11 or 11.5. A 275 on an 11 would be chasing tire feedback IMO, but still not out of the question. You're not giving up tire with stretch (to a point obviously), just supporting it better. Weight is always at a...

I'm glad that method works out for you :) I tend to be a bit more ham fisted, or at least I once was when I started tracking so I generally prefer a car that has good feedback, but also is a bit softer in front. When I get in a car that's got a lot of front axle bite I usually end up getting...

I haven't done the ackermann angle calc to see what it says the car really wants, but my default preference on track is 0ish toe. Even in autox settings I rarely do more than .07 degrees toe out per side in front. I once stumbled on the Bridgestone JP website that had their recommended camber...

Mine is right in the mix as well. -3.7F/-2.5R camber 0 toe front/.2 degrees toe in each side for .4 degrees total toe rear 8.1 degrees caster (non-adjustable, but at least even on each side) Initial install of the camber plates had the front at -3.4 degrees, but after 4 track events it seems...
