the exhaust and turbo you get when you gap 100 scatpacks at the drag strip

I'd be down for a meet if we get enough interest in the area.

All the wheels that I'm interested in never seem to have them anywhere! Maybe I'm cursed :(

My biggest gripe of the last 5+ years with this hobby is how impossibly difficult it sometimes is to find wheel weights. Is there any valid reason why manufacturers don't just print their wheel weights on their websites? Anyone happen to have 57CR 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +35 weights? All I can...

Got my windshield replaced. Apparently "energetically shutting the hood" can turn a tiny rock chip into a massive crack!

you should change the OP to mention something that's actually hard to find info on before people start making jokes about how this must have been another oil thread

From what I've heard the axle snapping issues comes from immediately hooking on hard launches, primarily with drag racing and/or when running radials. I can't imagine having axle issues while already up to speed if you aren't making crazy power. Maybe if you're going absolutely crazy with...

i see you've never driven any of the previous 3 generations of Nissan Z to know what an actually bad LSD is.

this is the only EV that I would own, personally.

But look at the bright side; more rickety old shitboxes with fartcan straightpipes...

This looks like you have your own personal bodyguards.

I would just spend the extra couple grand to upgrade the driveshaft if you're already spending all the money to get to 850 WHP.

Is the steering wheel of the Z4 or any other BMW the same or at least close to the same size/style? Perhaps such a product exists for one of those that will fit the Supra. Otherwise it'd just be something to 3D print. Maybe reach out to some of the vendors that hang out on the forums about it?

The Supra should feel perfectly fine and under control at 105+ assuming you didn't cheap out on horrible tires or have a very bad alignment. Although keep in mind that it has a relatively short wheelbase, so theoretically it won't be as stable at very high speeds as something longer.

I skipped like 2 pages and this thread went from a legitimate discussion about electric cars to debating the financial troubles and political impacts of Tesla Inc and Elon Musk. I don't know whether the more relevant takeaway is that you should avoid skipping pages on threads so you don't get...

but making your sports car sound like a diesel truck is totes cool, yo.

You should be able to hear the turbo induction noises starting at 25-35% throttle and purge noises when letting off the gas, especially when letting off at >50% throttle for long enough to build boost. It's not really anything to do with RPM. You won't really hear anything if you're not...

Wait, you guys use seat belts at the track? I've just been going the route of having a buddy duct tape my entire torso to the seat and calling it good...

Like others said it's all based on if the frame is damaged or not. For what it's worth when I got side-swiped pretty hard a few months ago, it was about $7000 before insurance to replace the fender, door, door garnish, and side skirt plus minor cosmetic touch ups to the side of the hood, the...

Bad with money + Bad with impulses = A shockingly large percentage of today's adults. The chances that someone with $6 in their bank account will see something for $25 and accept financing just to get it NOW is non-zero.
