I assume if ABS is engaged, then the pads are working. ABS engages when the wheel is about to lock up, which means the brakes are effectively stopping the wheel. If anything, maybe the tires arent gripping.
My understanding is that overheated fluid causes a soft pedal, while overheated pads cause fade. Fade is when you apply the pedal with normal pressure, but the car is not effectively stopping. With a soft pedal, you have a lot more pedal travel before the brakes engage, but they stop you in the...
I wanted some custom center caps for my car and I wasn't satisfied with anything I found online. I decided to model and print a replacement. I created a cap with a plain flat surface so that you could put any sticker on it you wanted, or you can make your own textured design to mate up with it...
Obviously, the in-person experience is unmatched. But, maybe because I only track a few times a year, I get a lot of enjoyment out of rewatching my videos. Being able to hear more than just wind really adds to my enjoyment.
Videos aside, it adds to the sensation of speed in person too. If...
Is this loud enough to hear on track? I can barely hear the stock exhaust over the wind noise with open windows on track. In the videos my friend made of my car going by, you can hear very little. It looks so slow with so little sound :D
I did, it was awesome. Thanks for the advice you gave me, I contacted you on discord via the SCCA a while back (ArrrrMatey).
My PB there was 1:30 in my WRX, I got a 1:27 in the Supra, which I felt good about. I know you and Quy can do a lot better :) I'm nervous about turning off TC; I ran...
Got out on track with my Supra for the first time. All stock except for pads and fluid. I'll have to come up with an alternative camera mount arrangement. The narrow windshield and display block the view when i lean into a turn. I didn't think of that, as it wasn't a problem in my WRX. It was a...
I would be shocked, the two straps seem pretty strong. My old cover stayed on pretty good with just a middle strap. I guess I could imagine the front lifting up. If you know there will be a bad storm, you could use the front strap by passing the strap through your wheels.
Mirror closed (Its a little tight on the mirrors, have to pull a little to go over them)
Mirror open
Integrated Middle Strap
Integrated Rear Strap (There is also a front one, but its right at the wheel, so I don't use it)
Door slit
Takes a little finesse to move the cover off the...
My car is parked outside all the time, and I got this one on amazon:

I would imagine it would slow down the NJ port as stuff that would have gone to Baltimore goes to port of NJ instead. It took them a month to process my car at port of NJ.
Oh don't worry, I can't WAIT to get out to the track. I haven't been yet this season because I wanted to save my track budget for the Supra. I'm solo intermediate in HPDE; I am a bit nervous about going out alone for the first time in this car. Getting instruction at NASA first would be great...
