I also corded the inside tires on track last weekend. Thankfully had the tire guy on track and went back on next session. I only have camber plates for suspension fyi and 2.6ish front camber

As beginner pace, you won't really be pulling too much wear. generally I do oil changes every 3-5 track days. Trans / diff I kept factory until I recently and I am aiming for every 5 track days. brake fluid. Motul will need very frequent changes and it's trash. Castrol srf I know people who...

I thought it was champions for the OEM? I'm looking to keep OEM parts for my car as long as I could. Had dealers point at dumbest things to argue against warranty claims.

I quickly moved out of motul. Did 2 days and halfway through the second my pedal felt too soft for confidence. That was at novice group pace as well.

Which fluid are you using? When I switched to SRF it lasted much linger

Did another fluid change after 5 track days. This time I used these stubby hex bits and I didn't need to remove the heat shield. CTA Tools 5057 7 Pc. Stubby... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082M1L6S7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share found them through a different post about the automatic fluid change

Can someone please confirm if these are the correct part numbers for the champion plugs? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-spark-plug-kit-set-of-6-12120040551kt3

yep, metal on metal. Here's a photo of the plug. the differential had the green gasket btw

No gaskets, I did replace the plugs though. They came with the BMW kit i went for this kit. Might change to a different fluid next time because this seems to always be back ordered https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-manual-trans-service-kit-83222239654kt

Bumping this old thread to post some tips I can share from my attempt. There is a heat shield that makes it a bit hard to put in a regular wrench if you don't have a short 8mm head. The plastic bolts are soft so be careful. They are 10mm sockets, and I used a wobble extension to not have to...

I'm still newish to tracking, less than 1 year though I have 17 track days already. Did spend several 110+ track days at thunderhill so I think I'll need cooling to make sure I do stop while I still learn to not overbrake. The girodiscs I don't believe are made non-slotted. FCP also has regular...

Replaced my pads and rotors. My hawk DTC60s were overheating and I kept losing brake feel. When I removed the pads they had very little life left and were cracking. Replaced the pads with Carbotech XP12s hoping that they will work better for the long hot sessions I will do in summer Also...

PB blast from the middle area around the hub, tap it gently from behind to knock it loose. I just did mine but they weren't rusted at all. The rear caliper bolts were a PAIN to remove.

inspected my pads before this past weekends track day, finally decided to just pull the sensors off before they trip and zip tie them out of the way.

No issues here, just be more relaxed with shifting. I never had that issue even on track

My supra is the first car I did track days with and I am loving it. Started from Novice and I'm in high intermediate now in a year of tonnes of tracking. With that said, I do suggest keeping the 86. Consumables will be cheaper and that translates to more affordable track days. You will also...

Does anyone have the OBD PIDs for brake pressure? I'm running race chrono and I wanna log that but I can't find the PIDs

That will be my move next time I replace pads.

Mine fit the wear sensors. As for the pad slapping, it sounded horrible for me at first but it's normal for hawk. Every once in a while it gets a louder clunk sound.

Got my wheels delivered after half a years wait. perfect timing as well, I started with 0 track days at the start of the year and I'm up to 9. I think I'm ready for 200tw tires. Considering the kumho v730 mainly for the price point and good experience with them from friends. camber plates have...
