Sorry dude. I know the shop. I used to take my cars there long ago when it was owned by my mechanic. But it changed hands many years ago. I wouldn’t let Steve or Paul anywhere near any of my cars. Sadly, your story is similar to others I’ve heard about that shop. I’ve provided you with my...

And there is pretty much no storage in the Emira - other than the oven/trunk. I’d probably opt for the Evora GT if I were to get a Lotus, even though I think the Emira looks much sexier. And as others have said in this thread, the engine of the Emira is underwhelming. And the shifter is a bit...

I ordered them, but they didn’t ship after months waiting, and finally cancelled the order. I may reorder them. I have spoken with another Supra owner who is just starting to track his Supra and he had positive opinions of them.

Thank you to those who responded. It helped me in my analysis of the viable options. I’ve decided to proceed with the Supra as I had originally planned when I bought it. Hopefully Apex has their Black Friday sale early enough that I can have new wheels and tires for COTA in November...

Thank you. Good to know. I will take a look. The lighter the wheel, the better. I was considering changing platforms, but after further research/consideration, I decided to take the Supra to the track and see how it does. BTW, I met a guy at OIR a few months ago. He has a red Supra. He...

Just a PSA. Spoke with the good folks at Apex a few days ago and learned that the OE FE larger calipers and rotors fit their 18x10 et30 wheels. I was under the impression that a 19” wheel would be necessary. Anyone with an FE running 18x10 wheels?

I have used Schroth harnesses with the clip-style ends with PCI mounts in a different car. You will need the above mentioned hardware for mounting on the tunnel side of the seat. I used some Brey Krause pieces I had from a prior car for the tunnel side (R-9004 and R-9002 (I think)). An option...

Did you find the answer to your issue?

I am older. So I have had many years to increase the count. 😁 I just looked at my list and it’s actually only around 60 cars. The Supra is my most recent addition to the list. Admittedly I still a have more of the 60 than I care to admit. But most are NC Miatas - which I don’t think should...

I resemble that remark! 😂

The reality is that it’s not really possible to feel a car on a short test drive. Fortunately, I’ve driven all of the aforementioned cars. And I have done a fair bit of research (which I’m continuing) which has provided me a general (but certainly incomplete) understanding of their pros, cons...

You’ve definitely hit the nail on the head. I am leaning towards an M2. And perhaps a year after getting it I’ll be having similar thoughts. 😂

I understand that question. First, I want something with a manual transmission. Second, I want more room and more power than my NC Miatas. Third, I want to be able to take it to the track when I am not towing to the track. Fourth, I want it to be fun around town. To me the M2 is the obvious...

Thank you for the great info. Sounds like we share DNA. 😂 70+ cars owned. Mostly sports cars. Lotuses are sublime, but my friends who own them have warned me about service. On track they are amazing. I’ve ridden with friends on track in an Exige, Elise, Evora GT and Emira. All were...

For those who are in denial of fuel starvation issues: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/at-what-power-does-fuel-starvation-start.36521/

Thanks for the explanation. I’m happy to hear your experience was positive. To be clear, I haven’t made any modifications to my Supra yet and I have not tracked it yet. I was about to pull the trigger on some track upgrades when I learned of the fuel starvation issue. The heat management...

Kaj, Interesting comment. It begs the question, “Why do you say that?” Are heat management issues and fuel starvation uncommon with these cars when pushed hard on track? Do these cars have sufficient negative camber from the factory? Is the stock suspension and its geometry well suited for the...

Overheating and fuel starvation are my top 2. I haven’t fully explored suspension issues with the M2. I typically do 12 or so track weekends a year at tracks like COTA (maybe no longer), Eagles Canyon, Ozarks, Barber, Road Atlanta, and Watkins Glen. I hope to get back to VIR next year. I also...

I bought a new FE 6MT last year and it has mostly lived in my garage (about 800 miles on the odometer). I bought it with the thought that it would be my fun drive around town and drive to the track car. Hindsight being what it is, I probably should have bought one of the other cars I was...

Besides filling the tank each session, is there a reasonable solution?
