  1. First time ever on a track!

    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.
  2. First time ever on a track!

    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...
  3. How Much A 1-Year-Old Toyota Supra Is Worth Today

    This reads like an AI generated article. Repeats itself so many times in slightly different ways.
  4. 3D printable model of Center Caps

    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...

  6. Stock vs Dinan exhaust comparison

    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...
  7. Stock vs Dinan exhaust comparison

    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
  8. Anyone see any orange 45th anniversary Supras on the road?

    I saw a mikan blast on track this weekend. Love the color! At about 7:08 if linking to the time doesn't work
  9. Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

    Wow, that is about 3 eternities faster...haha. What would you estimate is a good time to aim for in a stock supra?
  10. Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

    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...
  11. Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

    Quy took me out the first couple sessions, then I did the next 2 with Mike. Didn't catch his last name, he drives a 5 series wagon.
  12. Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

    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...
  13. Best all weather car cover?

    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.
  14. Best all weather car cover?

    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: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QHD8QF7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 iCarCover 30-Layer Car Cover Waterproof All Weather | Premium Quality Car Covers for Automobiles, Ideal for Indoor and Outdoor Use...
  16. Anyone see any orange 45th anniversary Supras on the road?

    Does your new wing reuse those mount points? If so, I'd be interested in doing this to my 45th.
  17. 2024 MY Allocations

    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.
  18. Still waiting... How long have you been waiting for your GR Supra allocation/order/update etc.?

    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...
  19. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Finally got my car on Saturday. Removed the dumb side graphic when i got home.
